We all have days where we just dont feel like eating. Something may be getting us down. Work may be stressing us out, the kids are always fighting, the relationships at rocky ends. Sometimes we just cant eat.

I have had times when I havent eaten for three days when Ive been really upset about something. Sometimes we lose our appetites completely.

I have been thinking of ways to try and get ourselves to try and eat whilst feeling like this.

1. Try to surround yourself with people cooking and eating, this may just knock your appetite right back into place.

2. Look on the positive side of whatever may be getting us down and remember that food keeps us alive and should always be eaten at regular intervals.

3. Remind yourself that no matter what is dragging you down, that food is what keeps you going.

4. When trying to eat again when recovering from these feelings and loss of appetite dont rush yourself, take it in steps to eating again.

5. Try cooking something you know you normally enjoy, maybe it will tempt you to get back on track.

I hope this may help somebody someday. It is just what I try to do when feeling like this.

It can be very difficult to start eating again. I couldn't eat after the loss of my second child. Had no appetitie at all, but still cooked for the family. I lost heaps of weight and my stomach was like it had been banded, when I did try to eat I could only eat a very small amount.
