Forgetting to Eat?

Post Reply New Topic

I do this alot. Often I find myself eating a odd hours, like 3 or 4 in the morning.

I always forget to eat, sometimes I have breakfast at 16:00 it also happens sometimes that I don't eat at all, but drink a lot of green tea.

Yes, it happens to my quite often, especially when I stay on my own, like my mom is out and I'm at home alone.

Now I study in another city (extramural studies) and on Friday I had to go there because we had our first meeting there. I didn't eat anything for all that time on the bus (two hours), during the next two hours I was waiting for the meeting nor when I was going back home. The first and only thing I ate that day was soup I consumed about about 9 p.m. I simply practically don't feel hunger, it's almost a totally foreign feeling to me.

I drink coffee and tea throughout the day, and forget to eat. Then I will eat one large meal, late at night, to make up for it.

I eat a lot one day in two or three weeks, I remember! This time I feel myself a camel but I eat all day long and next morning don't eat again at all

I forget to eat all the time, this is a great source of concern for my mother who enquires about my eating habits when she calls me.

While they say it is the most important meal of the day, I haven't eaten breakfast in a couple years. Every since I started drinking coffee/tea, it has slipped from my mind. I don't even think about it anymore.

I miss meals on occasion like that. When I used to be a wow addict I would miss meals all the time, or just eat between raids. Now I've really only got my bass(and guitar, but i favor the basses i own ) and schoolwork to distract me, but I really don't eat much anyways.

Always!

Me too - I even forget to smoke sometimes

It's great - when I finally remember to eat, I'm so hungry that the food tastes wonderful, and I can pig out to my heart's content without any fear of getting obese

My advice to anybody who needs to cut down on food: get yourself an obsession.

Of course obsessions do have a downside, but if it's the lesser of two evils, go for it.

Yes!! It's horrible, because after a while I forget I was hungry and then can't make sense of the way I'm feeling. Start to wonder if it's that I'm tired, or ill, or cold.. all sorts.

Sometimes I forget to eat ... or i just put off going and eating stuff, because i'm just not in the mood. I never used to, probably because I lived with parents who would cook dinner. Now that I'm living on my own I often can't be buggered buying or making food. For instance, right now it's 11PM, and I still haven't had dinner. I sorta want it but not really. Meh, eventually I'll get up and cook something. Maybe.

I often forget to eat. Sometimes I get pains in my stomach and think I am getting sick - then it dawns on me that they are hunger pains!

Yep, I often forget to eat and don't realize it until I start feeling bad. Also sometimes I know I should eat something, but I'm enjoying what I'm doing so much that I don't want to take a break from it to eat and therefore keep postponing it.

I like to have enough food in the house though, so when I finally decide to eat I am usually able to make something at home without having to go shopping first.

I think the mainstream cooking obsession is mostly for people who live together and enjoy the bonding thing that the food ritual can generate. I've never really felt that, at worst it's literally depressed me (don't know why ), at best I've managed to appear to fit into the role, and I've understood intellectually that it's a time-honoured tradition and meant as a compliment, and felt it's nice of this or that person to want to share food with me. Nutritionally speaking, cooking isn't strictly necessary if you like raw food. I lived for a few years on little but sandwiches, orange juice and tea. Meal preparation time was about 4 minutes. I had to make sure the contents of the sandwich were reasonably wholesome - a mix of spinach, carrot, tomato and soya spread in wholemeal bread was typical. Didn't need to shop more than once a week.

I've often been out running errands or shopping or at the library, and suddenly I'll feel weak and faint and look at my watch and realize it's 2 p.m. and I haven't eaten yet. I try to make myself eat at least three meals a day at regular times so this doesn't happen too often.
