My metabolism has always been slow ( I would be accually hungry once in about 2 weeks). Now I'm not hungry at all- for a few days now I can't even stand the smell of food! I am over-weight... Really I can't remember a time my metabolism was normal. I just ate anyway even though 99.9998% of the time I wasn't hungry... Is there anything wrong? What should I do to regulating my metabolism?

Metabolisms are tricky...everyone's goes at a different speed. I would talk to your doctor or a nutritionist for the most accurate health.
To speed up your metabolism, always eat breakfast. It can be a small meal, but breakfast does what the word says, breaks the fast. This will jump start your metabolism each morning.
Eat only when you are hungry. I don't mean starving yourself for two weeks until you feel a pang of hunger, but I rarely feel hungry either I just eat. Wait til you feel hungry, trust me, it will happen. Eating when your friends or family are when your full will make you gain weight.
Eat foods heavy in fiber. Fiber cleans your system out (you can't digest it so it pushes out all the other food you have eaten) and it keeps you full. You can eat less of that and feel full. When you need to snack, grab something like a handful of almonds. Giving your mouth something to chew on can help the cravings. I also read that eating ice gives your metabolism a boost.
Exercise will increase your metabolism, so just try to add some in.
If you don't see a difference, I deffinitely suggest consulting a doctor.
Good luck and work hard, you will see a difference!
