Help eating feels like a chore

[lovelulu]

it might be because of the stress I've been feeling lately, but its been like this for a while. I will eat if i have to, but its so tiring and it just feels like another chore on my plate. I dont have an eating disorder or anything, its just really hard for me to eat.

i can definitely relate. some days i just can't physically make it down the stairs, and other days i have no motivation to. it probably doesn't help that i can go a good while without even feeling hungry. it just feels like so much work for no real reward other than more exhaustion.

I hear this. There are some days where I skip dinner and go straight to bed because eating just feels like too much effort.

I feel the same. Everything feels like climbing this huge mountain! I haven't felt up to buying groceries lately so I don't have any food in my house, and certainly don't feel like getting dressed to go get something to eat, so I continue to lay in bed. I only hope I can fall asleep again soon. So, how long has it been since you ate? I guess for me, I don't have any desire to eat anything, therefore eating falls into the same category of chores I need to complete.

Same for me. Even the thought of lunch time makes my stomach churn. I've been eating, but against my own will.

I definitely understand when you say, "against my will!" I just eat when I absolutely can't take the pains of hunger anymore, but by that time I'm only eating to take the pain away so by then it's not an enjoyable experience. I'm glad you're eating something
