bad eating habits

For some resons recently my eating habits are screwed up. Maybe the depression, half the time i don't feel hungry and/or can't be bothered. But some days i won't eat anything, then other days i eat too much and i feel like crap for doing so. Like i relasied today ive not eaten a proper meal in 2 days, so i've just had a cheese sandwich and 2 packets of mini chedders. which i know is excessive. i didn't need the other 2 packets.
im sorry. this is really stupid of me i know, i have weight issues anyway. im just confused and a bit worried :frown:

whats wrong with me?

Yeah I do this, the last year or so I haven't eaten anywhere near as much as I used to, simply haven't had the appetite. But in general when I had other issues going on I didn't feel like eating much. Plus I've had less time recently to get bored and therefore eat becuase I have nothing else.

I'm exactly the same. Started at Uni in October and since then my appetite has just dropped. I actually felt sick after eating lunch today.

I never used to be like this at home, I actually have a very healthy appetite! It may just be the monotonous catered food - never anything really *nice*!!

I've started a new job so I work evenings so I always miss dinner... I miss breakfast (as I'm asleep) so I'm only awake for lunch... My lunch past few days has been bread and soup. And that's all I'll have...

I can't cook anything else, and ready meals are foul.

I'm starving, but I just dont feel like eating either...

I'm exactly the same, my depression has altered my appetite. Before i had it I had a huge appetite but now I can go 3 or 4 days without eating a proper meal, just snacks, some days I can go without food full stop.

hey dont worry, i have such messed up eating habits, and you feel really bad about it but focusing on it just makes it worse. i like diet for 3 days and then have tons of pasta or whatever just because i feel crap or am out with friends. its really unhealthy. but it think thats just what some people do, like some people drink when they feel bad, or smoke loads, for lots its eating badly! i struggle so much with it but i find its worse if i beat myself up about it. just try and find things you really like that arent too unhealthy example fruits you love, or veg like cucumber or carrots, and whole meal bread. try and stick to something for a while so you feel like you have more control over your eating... like ive been eating more healthy all week and now just cuz its cold and im bored i had pasta and doritos and a brownie! its silly, but i guess its just a girl thing, and as long as youre not morbidly overweight i wouldnt dramatize it.

If youre on anti depressants, it may be affecting your appetite, next time you see your doctor ask him about it.
If you havent eaten for a couple of days, when you eat make sure you have a proper meal, with veg like brocolli and carrots, and some meat like chicken, if youre not a veggie. if you dont feel hungry, but havent eaten for a while, just have soup, as its not to filling.

I know lots of people have said they're the same, but if you're honest, it isn't healthy, and you must think this as you're worried. It might be worth a trip to your GP to see if it could be something to do with your depression, or just have a chat and see if you can get to the root of it. You need to eat, or you'll get ill, and ok I'm not the best example as my eating has been odd too over the last couple of weeks :redface:

but you realise that this isn't right, and you're concerned, so do something about it. Even if it's setting an alarm and making sure you make yourself eat something, at least you will be getting the good out of food, until you get your appetite back :hugs:

My eating habits are horrendous at the moment. I'd say that at least 3 or 4 nights a week I'll eat about 2.30-3am in the morning, usually a take away. I eat SO much crap its unbelievable! :frown:

I don't eat meals.Then I've missed mealtimes and it's 11pm and I raid the jaffa cakes and snacks.

Then the next day I feel bad and don't eat all day.Then it gets to 7pm and I'm starving and eat some food.Get hungry late evening.Eat snakes.Repeat cycle.
