Re: I'm starting to think I have a problem

Been there, sort of. Mine didn't start with an illness or having to force myself to eat, it started by my starting running, which for some reason torpedoed my appetite. I'm an extremely picky eater to begin with - if food doesn't have the right texture or color, no thanks - and the combination of running a lot and not eating was... not good.

Got through it by trying to make food a reward of sorts - I thought, if I wasn't going to eat much of anything, I could at least enjoy what I WAS eating. So I bought better quality stuff in smaller quantities, ate out all the time (I don't like cooking and am not very good at it), and would only eat things I absolutely loved. I had about a month where I ate just about nothing but avocados, onions, pasta, this one lentil soup that's my go-to comfort-food, bagels, and coffee. Was this healthy? Oh hell no. Was it healthier than not eating at all? Yes.

Eventually I got sick of eating the same things all the time (or maybe I was craving all the vitamins and/or protein I wasn't getting) and started eating like a normal person again. But it took a LONG time for this to happen.

Interesting strategy. I think my current experience is a lot like yours, minus the running part. I just hate preparing food, almost never feel in the mood for anything, and when I get going working (writing) I don't want to stop to eat even when I'm hungry. I've been resorting to Ensure some days, and eating more of the few things that do appeal to me, but so often I just don't feel like anything at all. It's reassuring to see multiple other people with similar issues.
