I Struggle With Loss of Appetite, Even When Food Is Available

I just finished a plate of rice, and I feel like I won a lottery. It is the biggest meal I have managed to eat in about four days. I am not sick, but I have struggled with severe loss of appetite since childhood. Back then, I was often forced to eat, and sometimes I even paid my older siblings to eat my food and pretend that I had finished it. Eating is difficult for me. If you can eat whenever you want, please do not take it for granted. For me, I eat because I have to, not because I enjoy it.

Has anything changed recently, or has this appetite struggle stayed roughly the same since childhood?

Yes, that distinction matters; appetite wahala can have a long history or be a newer twist.

Finishing that plate of rice after four difficult days sounds like a genuinely meaningful win.

Being able to eat once is encouraging, but it may not mean the underlying struggle has eased.

Keeping note of what meals feel manageable and when your appetite is better could help you spot patterns.
