Crisi, I think it is stress, depression, feeling badly, not having things go right, trauma, and these things can affect our appetite, and our ability to eat. I don't have that problem much at all, but I do know that it happens with people. If I am pressed to get something done, often I don't care whether or not I eat. Sometimes I have to go to town to do some work, and it is important to accomplish something with the time that I have. Several times I have eaten my mid day lunch on my way up the hill towards home after dark. I have been so driven that I have not eaten anything since breakfast, but that doesn't happen to me all the time, just when I am driven to get something done, and I am short of time to get it done.
Crisi, sometimes that makes sense to eat a little less more often than to eat a lot and less often. Your stomach can probably handle that better when you are stressed, but you still need to eat, even a little. We often eat a late breakfast because Carol gets too tired to get out of bed in the morning early enough to eat early. She didn't used to be that way. It has to do with her diabetes, or some other health issue that she has. She doesn't know why, but if she goes to town 2 days in a row she gets so tired, then she has to sleep most of the time so that she can feel good. She will sleep all night, and then she will sleep most of the day also, and none of us understand why that is happening.
We ate breakfast late. Then when lunch time came Carol said that she couldn't think of anything she wanted to fix for lunch, so she ate cold cereal; cheerios, and I ate peanut butter, honey, and drank milk. Then for supper we had raviola type stuff with cottage cheese, regular cheese, egg plant (I love egg plant!) and homemade salsa, as well as drinking milk. Then since I already ate peanut butter honey, and drank milk, I drank milk and ate some of my Christmas present chocolate pieces. They were delicious, and they are about gone, so they will not get too old!
