I am 5'9" 145 lbs and a 20 year old male. I am not anorexic, I want to eat a lot, I love eating, but I am never hungry, I could eat a piece of bologna and be full for a whole day.in the past 2 days all i've had to eat was 2 turkey sandwiches and 2 salads. I weighed 167 lbs 6 months ago. Is this dangerous? If so what signs should I be looking for? Could it be from stress at college? Is I started smoking weed a lot because it seems like its the only time I can eat a whole meal.I don't wanna go to the doctor because my mom works for him and I would feel like a retard going in there and saying I'm never hungry.. If it isn't a health concern then thats sweet because i save a ton of money on food.lol
Answer:
You're not a retard.
Loss of appetite is a symptom of many different diseases
and conditions, it's really best to go see the doctor.Good Luck!
Most men your age can't eat enough! I think that you should probably see a doctor. Or at least talk to your mom and ask for some advice. I wish I could lose almost 20 lbs in 6 months!
You should be eating 2000 calories a day. Do the math. Good Grief!!!!
Yes.
I know you say you'd feel dumb for going to the doctor but its really your only option. Instead of going to the doctor where your mom works, go to the college health clinic. They'll be able to help you out and figure out what is wrong. It's definately not healthy to only eat 800 calories in a day. The typically diet as I'm sure you know should be 2000-2200 calories in a day.
Picking up the pipe wasn't a great idea--800 calories is low but not dangerous, it definatly could be stress, and you've lost weight but it seems to be over a period of months, it's when you lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time that you have to watch for.
just try eating more. eat a variety of food.
also try exercising. whenever im super tired i get hungry.
and if things dont change i would definitely go see a doctor.
good luck!.
get off the weed man =your Mom is gonna worry about you losing weight and ask the Dr to check you out and you'll be in big time trouble then==you could be just going through a faze where you aren't hungry and don't be afraid to tell the Dr or your Mom about this
I did that during university but it was because I was under a lot of stress and had just broken up with my long distance boyfriend - it's probably just stress but I'd at least try to eat something at least twice a day - if you're not exercising or doing anything extracurricular then you won't need as many calories as usual however if you're not exercising maybe that would be a good way to make yourself hungry plus you can always benefit from the workout. At this time of year it is finals season so it's quite possible this could be stress. Good luck! Bless xxxx
i think you should go to the docter
Well it's not normal but it probably is from stress, stress can cause your body to go through many changes including loss of appetite. But not eating is unhealthy. Don't allow yourself to get sick, it is a health concern. Smoking weed isn't a good choice ethier seeing your in college all your going to do is kill brain cells and possibly ruin college, your worried about going to the doctor cause your mom works there. Imagine having to tell her you failed college cause you lost your appetite and had to smoke pot to get hungry,and did this instead of confront hte problem cause you thought it would be weird to go to her employer. There are other doctors so I would imagine you could see someone else if you have to right? Good Luck to you and stay away from pot it bad news.
In my opinion, and I am NOT a doctor, it does sound like a medical issue. I would see a doctor right away.
800 calories is way too low. it could certainly be from stress, anxiety, etc. you should def. go to the doctor. they prob need to do some lab tests to find out what's going with you metabolically, etc. you shouldn't have to see the same doc your mom works for, in fact it seems like it would be a conflict of interest or ethics issue, as your medical records should be private, and your mom could potentially have access to them. find another doctor and get some lab work done. best of luck to you.
you probably just don't have a big appetite or if you're taking any medication that could have something to do with it. Stress %26 anxiety can affect it too. Smoking weed isn't that great of a idea in order to eat. If you do, be careful because you'll probably end up throwing up when you come down.
Try eating a little every now and then even if you are not hungry. If you do so, you will notice that in the next few days, there will be a gradual increase in your appetite. Stop (or at least lessen) smoking weed for it only makes things worse for you. Being in college brings a lot of stress but don't get that stress take over you. Being busy with a lot of stuff may make you forget about your hunger, so try to have snacks by your side while you work (don't indulge in too much junk though). It sucks that you won't be able to save that much, but it will do you much much better. If this still doesn't work, better consult the pros, man. Don't be afraid, if they're really proffesionals, they'll be used to handling these sorts of stuff and won't really think you're mad. Good luck!
