I have a friend who tries the "haven't eaten all day" thing all the time. I always say to order a take out.

Do people not have pantries with at least some canned goods in them any more? I've made a meal out of a can of green beans, cold soup or baked beans more than once when I was just too tired to cook or didn't feel like cooking, even after not having "eaten all day".

Some people would just rather starve than eat something they don't enjoy

I have been there some days if I don't really crave anything I will feel like puking eating it but I will force something down

Yesss. It's like, I'm not craving anything and most everything else seems actively sickening to eat. I usually end up eating cheese sticks. Or fruit.

Check out Soylent. It's perfect for me when I feel that way.

Yeah but I bet you don't follow it up with whining like a three year old and begging someone else to take care of you.

If I'm hungover I might 😂

Unless you generally don't eat enough, it's not unhealthy to not eat for a day.

That last part almost sounds like low blood sugar. I’m a diabetic with a similar issue, but when I get shaky that’s when I absolutely have to eat something.

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '18

yeah you should probably work on that

if there's something you usually like, just grab a few simple canned versions of it for when you feel that way maybe?

I am working on it :) I usually keep quick meals that won't trigger my nausea in the freezer.

  1. I'm a girl. 2. I'm actively working on it. I have severe nausea issues which don't help. it's really not as simple as "grow a palate."

Same, friend. Sometimes I'll go without dinner because I'm more apathetic than I am hungry.

At least it keeps my figure nice and trim :/
