If you have weight to spare and the loss of appetite is temporary then I wouldn't worry about it. However, if your loss of appetite is ongoing then you really should see your GP asap - regardless of how slim or how 'cuddly' you may be. It is recommended that we aim to be at least our ideal BMI - or a few pounds over so we have some 'to spare' in case of exacerbation.
Don't ignore this for too long - we can lose weight surprisingly fast with this condition and that is not good - it leaves us weaker still when we are already weak enough to start with. Take care of yourself, eat what you can manage, and get yourself to the doc! Auntymary xx
