My problem I seek your advice on: I don't eat much & have no appetite. I need suggestions for even just different foods to try

Jan 27, 2010 - No, I'm not anorexic, which is the first thing that comes up, always, whenever I talk about this. I have three serious chronic illnesses, however, which have affected my life for more than a decade, and among other things I rarely have an appetite and food rarely tastes good to me, as a result. (I'm unusual, actually, as those with these illnesses go; most tend to be overweight, whereas I struggle to stay anywhere close to being a normal weight, and at one point dropped under 100 lbs; I'm 5'8" in height, and I was doing my absoluet best to eat regularly and decent sized meals, despite no appetite at all, when it happened.) I can't not eat, of course; the result is that I tend to eat whatever I can find that tastes "okay" too often, and end up burnt out and in need of seeking a new food. - 0 Comments
