Recently, within the last 2 or 3 months, I've noticed that I'm not eating breakfast or lunch. I'm just not hungry in the morning and I was always taught not to eat if you're not hungry. Just as I was always taught not to force myself to finish a meal if I'm full ... that it was unhealthy to "forcefeed" myself.
Even if I eat the smallest thing (I've tried to eat granola bars for breakfast and a PB&J for lunch) I get that queasy, I-just-ate-too-much feeling. Then I feel as if I may get sick.
So, what do I do about this?
I don't want to starve my body
The worst part is when I get home from school around 5ish (I have after school activities every day) I end up being hungry to the point of eating so much it compares to lunch and dinner. I don't eat more than a small snack after that (such as a granola bar) and before going to bed (usually around 10 or 11).
The process repeats itself until 5 or so at night. Basically, I don't eat anything from 10pm-5pm.
How do I fix this without feeling nautious when I do eat?
I know the reason my body gets the starvation feeling in the late afternoon is because I haven't eaten, but I can't bring myself to eat in the morning because of how sick the food makes me feel.
I'm not dehydrated or anything - I drink anywhere from 3-5 water bottles a day, sometimes more...
I know that I have a problem, I just don't know how to fix it.

I use to feel that way to when I was younger though!
What I did is I ate some fruit in the morning and
toast with butter! It always worked for me ! my mom
always packed me a lunch it was light but enough
to keep me full! It was a sandwich, gronaola bar,
and some chips ! Just make sure you eat something
so you don't get sick!
I hope I helped,
Debateist answered Saturday April 12 2008, 6:39 pm: hey there have you tried things like smoothies and soup instead of eating solids all the time?? maybe even have a breakfast bar in the morning and a bit of fruit ya know??
Try as I say some soup for either lunch or dinner then maybe try bread with that and therefore your not starving your body of nutrition and from here you can move on to some solids even have a sandwich at sum point with the soup or instead of!!
The waters gd that way your not dehydrating!! Then again you may just not b a big eater as I know sumone who cant even finish a burger so that may b all it is!!
I hope I helped even a little bit and good luck with the whole situation.

Maybe you should try to lay off a lot of water becuase when you drink lots of water it makes you feel full. and when you go to eat something thats probally why. try that and if it doesnt work tell someone you no and trust to help you like a school nurse or your docter maybe jsut give him a call. Also for lunch just try some fruit like cut up something like an apple or banana.
