General

I was extremely sick this week and now that I’m starting to feel better I am concerned with how I am engaging with all this I am just feeling very meh toward it, and my appetite has been this low in a very long time. My concern isn’t with the coming and going I get that it happens but i am concerned with how high the highs were and how low the lows are. Binge eating food disorder or some sort of disordered eating? Looking back at it I sort of had it in the past with how much I would just not eat. Sorry just a meh moment. Hope eveyone is doing well

I know how much being sick changes how I feel. I feel sad when I'm sick. Binge eating does give a rush, there's no denying. There's bound to be withdrawal when we don't engage with it. So to go from highs of binging to lows of being sick would feel confusing and sad! You know yourself and how you're feeling. Just go with the flow and how you're feeling and see what you feel like doing over time.

I'm sorry to hear you were sick. Glad you're feeling better.

I don't think it's binge eating disorder or some other disordered eating issue. Of course, I'm not your doctor. But considering your general attitude towards gluttony, I don't think it's something like that.

I think it's more likely you didn't eat much while you were sick, so your stretched-out stomach had a chance to shrink a bit.

I my belly definitely shrunk a bit while I was sick and not eating but I haven’t had the desire to eat since getting better I know I need to eat but I just haven’t felt like it. Gonna give it a few more days and see how I’m doing with it. I even ordered a pizza tonight had a slice and was like meh. I usually eat a whole thing

Eat light for now. Then slowly work your way up to normal.

I had a craving for breakfast this morning so I went and got eggs sausages potatoes toast and a stack of blueberry pancakes - then I had the rest of my pizza from last night when I got home, i was pretty stuffed so I took took a nap now I’m cooking steaks I think my appetite has returned with a vengeance I might have spoken to soon when I mentioned my concerns lol.

yeah I’m thinking I am back. Got Dairy Queen and Popeyes today XD

I'm glad you are feeling like yourself again!

Awesome to hear the sickness has lifted and you're stuffing yourself better than a bear before hibernation! And good on you for seeking the community for advice!
