To think it is not a bloody disaster if I don't eat!

[IncompleteSenten]

I've lost my appetite and have not eaten more than a couple of mouthfuls before feeling really full for about 3 days now. Today so far I've had half a cup of chair and a quarter slice of toast.

I am fat. Circus lady fat. I have zero willpower when it comes to food! I am not choosing to not eat! I just feel full. I challenge anyone to eat when they feel full! I think about eating and all I feel is "meh"

Yesterday my husband brought me chocolate ice cream and I didn't want it. That's how genuinely full I feel!

My husband is bugging the crap out of me and acting like I'm choosing to not eat.

Trust me, no fucker gets to my size if they can choose to not eat 🤣.

Aibu to say to him look, back off. I'm ok. I'll eat when I'm hungry.

I am diabetic and I am testing my blood sugar regularly. It's looking fine.

I'm just not hungry. Fatties can be not hungry. Honest! 🤣

Chair?
Now that would be worrying!
Chai.

It's not a disaster but is he just worried about you? I love my food and I think my husband would be very concerned if I wasn't hungry for 3 days 😳Are you otherwise OK?

If you usually have a big healthy appetite, and you've suddenly decided you don't feel hungry and don't want to eat anything, I'd be concerned there was some underlying cause for that. People don't usually just decide (for several days) that they aren't hungry and don't want to eat.

Of course anyone could just not be hungry at any time, but a sudden prolonged loss of appetite is usually a cause for concern no?

He’s worried. I would be too.
Go to the doctor.

I think you need to get to your GP. Feeling full quickly, when you normally have a good appetite, could be a sign of a medical issue.

I think I'd be more concerned as to why you feel so full when you normally have no willpower around food. Are you drinking plenty of fluids?

If I felt ill that would be one thing but I feel fine. I know I'm being a cow about it but he's acting like I'm going to starve.
Trust me when I tell you that if all the food in the world vanished right now, I'd be the last woman standing!

Well, unless you ate me.

I'm just being a brat I suppose. It's just at this point he's literally presenting me with food every half hour!

I'm not being horrible to him about it, I'm just bloody irritated!

I'm just having a stupid whine into the void aren't I? 🤣

Yes, I've had a couple of big glasses of water over the morning.

Have you tested for Covid? I've currently got it and have completely lost my appetite. I normally love my food. I haven't lost my sense of taste or smell, but I just can't summon up any interest in food.

That's a symptom? No I haven't tested. I've got some kits, may as well rule it out.

A couple of days is okay, you could have a bug, but if you continue to have a feeling of fullness despite not eating and loss of appetite you really should see a doctor. Are you type 1 or 2?

You are being a bit mean, he is clearly worried about you and this is his way of showing it. Btw I've only ever lost my appetite when I've been unwell, usually with an infection so it's fair of him to be worried. And just because you have reserves doesnt mean your body wont be struggling if it's not getting its BMR amount of calories.

Why do you think you have lost your appetite suddenly is the more important question?

I think I've read that feeling full quickly is an early sign of various worrying health conditions op, including cancer. Maybe do go get checked out.

I lost my appetite with covid, no cough, sore throat or temperature though......

On one hand I can see how that would get irritating, on the other hand I think it's better that your DH is showing too much concern than none at all!

A sudden loss of appetite is a cause for concern though. You don't necessarily need to be feeling ill for it to be linked to something bigger. I'd suggest speaking to a GP.

I think there might be something going around. DH felt like this all of last week and he's a triathlete so normally a huge eater, so it was noticeable! Said he otherwise felt fine but his appetite just wasn't there. I didn't quite know whether I believed him, until I got exactly the same symptoms myself yesterday and still can't face eating anything today.

Not covid in either of our cases, or at least not according to the LFT...

The concern isn't that you're going to starve or that it's a problem if you lose weight. The concern is that most people don't experience sudden unexplained appetite loss. If it carries on for the rest of the week see a doctor. It could be a sign of a blockage or stricture that will need attention. You don't always have pain.

I’d definitely get checked by Gp especially if you are diabetic. You might have blockage or internal issue. It’s not normal not to feel hungry for 3 days if you are fit and well.

Worried? His wife is diabetic and obese and he's bringing her chocolate ice cream....that's not worried about her health.

I'd be worried if I was feeling so full I didn't want to eat for three days, that's really unusual. It'd be sensible to see your GP as it could be the first sign of something serious that you're better off catching early.

Hahaha, you're definitely not fat!

If OP goes to the Doctor saying she's lost her appetite the GP will say "try losing weight"

I agree it's annoying when people try to make you eat when you're just not hungry, but if you normally eat a decent amount and suddenly, with no other symptoms, you feel 'full' after a couple of mouthfuls of food and this has gone on for three days, that's obviously a big change in what's normal for you and therefore it's reasonable for your husband to be worried. If it carries on, you need to see a doctor. Sudden, unexplained loss of appetite can mean lots of things and you need to rule out anything serious.

Good point but in his defence I think he got a bit desperate after the first couple of days 😁

I accept the judgement. I'm being unreasonable to be cranky about it.
Thank you.

I feel better for having a tiny tantrum anyway. 🤣
