i want to gain a healthy weight. I try to eat more foods but I always fails....I sometimes slept during the day n forgot to eat food because I Don't feel hungry anymore or sometime I have a little argument with one of my family member n choose not to eat anything.... Now I got used to the feeling of hungry and I could ignore it just fine....its not like i'm super thin but for my age my weight is unhealthy.

I understand what you're going through. I also have trouble eating when I'm in conflict with myself or others. The key, i found, is mechanical eating. This just means eating on a schedule until you reach a time where you are able to listen to your hunger cues. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) helps a lot with our situation, as does a dietician to be motivated to get back on track and have that accountability. The longer you go without listening to your hunger cues, the faster you lose them. You may stop eating all together (we call this "restricting") because you don't 'feel' hungry. If you need an ear, we are here to listen ♥️
