Need Help Identifying The Problem
I’m having this weird mental block about eating. I’ll eat food and stuff, but as soon as I become aware of how much I’m ingesting (like my 3rd bowl of fried rice or whatever), I lose my appetite. Sometimes I’ll be hungry and KNOW I should eat, and I really want to but I won’t. Am I just being difficult and causing drama? Can someone help? Does anyone else experience something similar?

Thanks for reaching out. There are many who struggle with disordered eating that may be similar to your experience. Hopefully others who do will respond here. I want to encourage you in your situation.
There is a book that comes to mind when I read your post, called Intuitive Eating. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it addresses some of what you have talked about in not realizing how much you have eaten until you hit a certain point.
Also, there is hope for dealing with disordered eating. Recognition is the first place. I'm really glad you shared! It's so difficult to go through this alone, and it sounds like you are feeling really upset about it. I'm glad we can be here to support you.
@SunShinesBrightAbove Hey there, thanks for sharing this story with us! I know how you're aware about how much food you eat and I understand. You are not causing drama nor being difficult, your problems are valid.
