try drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning and having something small to eat, like an apple.  this should get your metabolism going so you will be hungry in a few hours.\n\nif that doesn't work, maybe you should check with a doctor.

Whatever it is, you are best off seeing a physician vs. asking on Yahoo Answers. Sounds like some type of respiratory irritation or infection that you feel when your food rubs against it (thus if you eat slow, and the food is more finely chewed, it doesn't irritate). Again, this could be something much more serious - if it is an infection it can spread + kill you.

It may be that you just need to eat something.. Your stomach can get acid in it and if that's the only thing that is in your stomach it can make you feel nauseous...

You may be depressed already and have been for some time and you may not have realized it yet. You sound to me like your zeal for life is very low. That is a symptom of depression. Do you sleep too much or not eat even if you're hungry? There are several warning signs of Depression and a lot of us don't realize them. You're detached and that tells me perhaps you are afraid of getting close to people and of special occassions because you don't want to be hurt or disappointed. I would seek counseling if I were you. There's no shame in it and it doesn't mean your "mental" or that you'll be doing thorazine and weaving baskets, it means there is a chemical imbalance in your system/brain. Millions of people suffer from depression and there are good treatments with relatively few side affects. You may only need counseling. You are losing out on life, Honey and the people that love you will understand. Talk to them! Let them know that you're considering treatment and I'm sure they'll support you and don't let your anxiety get the best of you. Identify the problem, take steps to solve it. Good luck, and have a Happy, Happy Valentine's Day for once! =)

See your doctor. Honestly. If you're noticing a compulsion to eat that's different than you normally feel, there could be an underlying cause for it. And hey, I'd feel better if you ask your doctor than some of the putzes that post answers here. :)

Have another serious talk with her saying "Hey I notice you havent been eating much, is everything ok??"  Don't accuse her of neccessarily having anerexia, as that woould put her on the defense...  Now you're coming across as a good concerned friend...  Maybe it has nothing to do with being aneroxic at all, maybe its a sign of depression...  Did she just recently lose someone close to her??  Or maybe a bad breakup??  Or heck maybe she just hasn't been feeling well the last few days...  See what she says...  If it's only been a few days or so since this pattern started and it's pretty sudden, it could be one of the above, just be there for her for the next few days till she slowly gains back her appetite...  IF however this has been an ongoing issue, whether or not she admits it (she'll probably be in denial even with herself) I would then say "well, you might say it's no big deal, but I am truly concerned for you..  I have noticed that all you ate today was a tic-tac and an apple, or whatever, and then tell her this is not healthy...  Mention again what you said about the running and healthy foods, which should be part of any healthy lifestlye, even if your not on a "diet", tell her you want her to help yourelf, but she's gotta do it when she's ready, and in the meanwhile if she ever needs anything to call you day or night to talk (even if it has nothing to do with food, like i said earlier there could be an underlying emotion helping cause this, the best thing you can do is just be there as a friend)...  From there back off for a few days or so, unless you see herself in an immediate life threatning situation, such as she's talking about suicide and stuff...  See if she takes your advice and starts to get help oh her own...  If she doesn't look like she's going to take responsibility for her own actions and seek help on her own, then you might have to...  Maybe go to her again and say "You know I noticed this situation hasn't getting any better (and possibly even worse) You leave me no choice but to go to the authority (whether it be a councelor, school nurse, trusted teacher) myself, that's my duty as a friend...  If you'd like we can go together to talk to them, and I'll be there every step of the way with you, but if you don't come with me, I'm still going to tell them..." She might be mad at you, but in time will thank youo....  Aneroxia is a very seriouos conditioon and needs to be adressed, don't let the possibility of having a friend mad at you, stop you..  I'd rather have a mad friend than no friend, and aneroxia is indeed fatal in the long-term...  Thing is it's one of those slow deaths where your body will just weaken to nothing, but your not going to die from starving yourself one day, many people fast for religious purposes, etc. for a 24-hour period...  Your body has enough fat and nutrients stored that you can survive, but over time, it WILL kill...  PLease talk to her today, don't procastinate...  Good luck to both of you

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

yeah but for me its some weird reason... when i'm in school my appitite just disappears... when I go and eat (I only eat a hashbrown cause my stomach isn't HUNGRY at all!!!) and then I feel like throwing it up =( .. then i'll buy a fruit juice to wash it down... not sure why but I think it depends on the mood o.O ... i'm no doctor but that's my hypothesis.

You should think about eating some snacks in between. It's possible that you ARE starving yourself without realizing it. You might also want to drink more water, because you might be dehydrated. If neither of those things work for you, you should go to the doctor. It could be something serious. Good luck! Hope you feel better! :)

You've lost the appetite to eat !!!! That would cause dizziness and blank out your starving your body of the nutrients it needs.Go to a doctor an explain your loss of appetite b4 it really affects your organs and things start shutting down.Doesn't sound too healthy to me I would talk to your doctor.Good Luck :)

perhaps it could be your diet has changed; are you eating more or less?  Usually sudden weight loss (keeping all other variables constant) indicates a health problem.  Most people will tell you to go see a physician...

Well, not eating or drinking is certainly a concern.  You probably won't DIE, at least not in just a few short days.  Think of all of the cultures who fast b/c of religion.  They don't eat for weeks sometimes.\nIf you truly can't manage to eat anything, you need to investigate WHY.  Is it b/c you are under stress?  Feeling ill?  Schedule an appt with a dr., or your local community clinic.\nIn the mean time, force down a supplement, like Boost or Ensure.  They are packed with nutrients, and small.  I went through a period of sadness, and it was the only thing I could get down.  \n\nGood luck.  Feel better.

If you are still eating probably, you could be losing weight due to a high metabolism. The best thing to do, if you are concerned, is to speak to your doctor

Do not get discourage. Do you drink enough water? Maybe you are not hungry when you think you are, maybe you are confusing hunger with thirst.Drink a cup of water when you think you are hungry wait a few second and decide whether you are hungry or not. Eat three healthy/balance meal and two to three snacks in between. Watch you portion size and keep a food journal, it really helps. Exercise regularly try to do three day of cardio and two days of weights. Try to live a healthy lifestyle. Keep it up and remember that you can do whatever you set your mind to. Don't think negative. I wish you the best.

I think your blood sugar probably drops and maybe you should eat before you take a nap...or go to bed...and you probably won't wake up hungry...sometimes though, after a nice rest..it is good to eat..you body must need nourishment, and so you aren't doing anything wrong...enjoy...cold pizza always tastes especially good at the wee hours of the morning lol

You sound like a very smart girl.  Maybe asking your friends not to offer you any food might help.  Also, try just eating your lunch and then go for a walk or to the school library, or ask a teacher for extra help.  Keep yourself busy after your lunch is gone.  Just keep telling yourself the less you eat the better you will feel.  Losing weight and having self control is hard no matter what age you are and if you continue to have bad eating habits they will follow you through to your adult years and you don't want that to happen.  So, keep at it, try my suggestions and lots of luck!
