About a week, but I still forced something in my system. How about you?

I'm eating but not enough to sustain my weight. Keep losing. This is the longest I've been in depression. About 2 months.

I have not been interested in food for at least 6 months but I have diabetes so I have to force myself to eat a minimum amount of food. I have lost weight but not as much as I could have because I am very sluggish and also spend too much time in bed. I feel like I am a slave to my bipolar and anxiety disorders.

Depends on which meds I am on. I lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months. (I have plenty extra) I am also a teacher, so you eat in 15 minutes regardless if you are hungry or not.

Over holiday break, I would forget to eat, and I paid for it with my GO system.

I get nauseous with my anxiety, so I’m never hungry. I eat very small meals more frequently. And I take a probiotic, drink Kefir, eat a bit of yogurt — otherwise acid builds upon your stomach, adding yet another problem to the mix. Try the very small, more frequent plate approach. I hope this helps you!!

At my worst ever, I went 6months without an appetite. I lost 30 lbs, I'm 5'10" woman. I was severely depressed at the time.
