Yesterday while I was feeling really crappy (physically), I said, "You know...food isn't really that interesting. It kind of gets old after awhile." When I got home, I ate, but for the first time got kind of sick from what I was eating (I noticed why other people not like this kind of food) because I was eating slower.

And then usually I am always excited about my next meal, but for the past two days I am just looking at it not knowing what I want because none of it looks that great.

I'm hoping, reaally hoping that food is now boring for me. The more I talk and worry about dieting the hungrier I get. But if I just do other things I'm fine. And when I get to the food it's just food. Nothing more.

Has anyone ever felt this disinterest in food? Do you think it is from my thoughts directed at it? Because I hope so.

I have a disinterest in food from time to time, especially when I am feeling sick and sometimes when I am stressed (other times it has the opposite effect on me!).

I often think to myself: "Wouldn't it be great if I weren't a foodie?".

Yes! I went through this just recently. I went on a stretch of about 4 or 5 days where I just didn't feel like eating. Nothing sounded good. And I mean nothing. I ate because I had to, not because I wanted to.

I'm not sure what causes it. It happened to be that time of the month for me, but that's never happened before (not to that extreme) so I don't know if I can blame TOM or not. But I'm just now, slowly, getting my appetite back.

Yes, I've had a few days here and there where I'm just not interested in eating. And I love em'. It is soooo much easier to stay on plan when it does occur. I get so excited, I think, wow, this is great, food is no longer an issue for me. But lo and behold, it doesn't last very long and before you know it, I'm wanting to chow down again and looking for my next meal. I don't know what to attribute it to. I just wish it happened more frequently. Like all the time.

I'm with you Robin. It doesn't happen very often to me, but it is nice when it does happen. Occasionally, I'm just so busy that I don't have much time to think about food. I like those days too.

My normal days are the ones where I finish breakfast and I'm looking forward to what I'll be eating at lunch.

Me too, but maybe more like eating breakfast while thinking about what's for lunch (and figuring out exactly how many calories that'll be).

i am having a stretch there too where I'm not too interested in food. For almost the past week, becasue I haven't been feeling well, I had a heighteened sense of smell- everything dh cooked smelled BAD and unappetizing. it was like I was pregnant again..lol
I think it's because you haven't been feeling well. That kills my interest in food every time.

It happens from time to time, yes. I'm not sure if there's a particular reason, because it's not necessarily during TOM, an illness, a moment of tiredness or something specific. But it can be tricky, because if I indeed delay eating because it's not interesting to me, I still get hungry after a while, and then run the risk of eating something I shouldn't (it's easier to go for McDo than to start cooking at 3:30 pm, isn't it).
