Most of the time when people say that they are on a diet they are trying to decrease the amount of food that they are eating each day. For me I am trying to INCREASE the amount of food/calories that I am eating each day. I have to force myself to eat most of the time because I am just not hungry. My doctor said to eat about 1200 calories a day and today, after I finished tracking everything, I am only up to about 750 calories. That is eating three times and having two sodas. :(
Why do I never feel like eating? I just never have an appetite. Right now, after a day of eating, I feel so full. I feel like there is just something sitting in my stomach. It is a very uncomfortable feeling for me.
On a side note: I went back to the gym today. I walked/jogged at 5mph for 20 minutes and my warm up and cool down were both 5 minutes each at 2.5mph. :D

have you tried seeing a counselor? i think most things can be related to our emotions and there must be something there to work through for you. habits are hard to break and your body needs to adjust. also, the little you are eating needs to be good fuel for your body since you are eating so little. sodas are empty calories so they won't do much for you. hang in there, girl!
Laura, I don't know if it is emotional or not. I know that some of it may be because when I get stressed out I don't eat but I do sleep. I do know that the meds I am on tend to make people loose their appetites so that may be part of it as well.
I have been eating healthier than I normally would be eating. I am sticking with fruits like grapefruit and oatmeal for breakfast, steamed veggies for lunch and chicken or tuna for dinner. I also try to snack on carrots or grapes (sometimes apples and bananas) so I am eating healthier, I just get full very easy.
