Normally my issue is that I overeat. It's always been my problem. But for almost a week I've barely eaten a morsel of food. I'm so stressed out from several things going on in my life that I just don't want to eat.
This is bad for several reasons. One is that if it continues, overeating is probably at the end of this thing (from experience, I know my body craves food if it's left lacking too much). Another is that not eating slows my weight loss WAY DOWN. Like, 0.2 lbs in a week slow - I should be losing more, since I'm overweight. I've known this for a while and have always tried to eat enough to be healthy and lose weight.
But I am struggling with it right now. I just don't want food. Even when I'm technically hungry, I don't want it. I always feel nauseous from the stress, so eating doesn't appeal.
What should I do to try to keep my diet regular? (I'm working on managing the stress, which is priority #1, but I'd like some "until then" advice). It's hard to eat when I really don't want to.
I've never reacted like this to stress. I always eat too much, not too little. So I don't know how to manage this...
Any advice?
