<p>Hmm, over the last 2 weeks, I’ve lost desire to eat. I’m at the point where I’m ok with eating 3 ritz crackers, 2-3 apples (small), and a yogurt… I tried a slice of pizza but it was too much. 
I just don’t feel hungry - and I’m not evidently depressed. I feel OK after skipping breakfasts and lunches. 0.o What do I do now?</p>
<p>why do you say you are evidentally not depressed?</p>
<p>Sometimes hot weather takes away your appetite. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Whatever you do eat, make sure it’s nutritious (skip the ritz and go for whole wheat bread). Try some other fresh fruits - peaches and plums are great right now - and don’t worry. You’ll be hungry again. Our bodies have a way of knowing what’s good for us.
Just be sure to drink water! :)</p>
<p>I’m speaking from my own experience, here - during hot weather I often eat half of my normal amount of food. As long as you get a decent balance of protein and carbs, and your energy is good, I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
<p>Loss of appetite can be a symptom of many things. Certainly calls for a doctor visit and some blood work.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’m actually depressed! which is a pretty weird thing. I suppose since i’m not incredibly emotional and my expressions have not beckoned for a ‘depressed’ label that I’ve declined the possibility. Also, any other state I might('ve) be in has been part of my disposition for some time so naturally, the not-eating part comes as a shocker, considering also, that nothing extreme or drastic has happened that might’ve changed tides. Of course, we’re not counting subtle, gradual changes that eventually change things by a large amount (think pH). No… at least I don’t think so! </p>
<p>I think this is called ‘intellectualizing emotions’. >8|</p>
<p>OK thanks for the advice! :)</p>
<p>By your post, I assume you are a student?</p>
<p>I would say it is highly unusual for a developing teen to lose their appetite in the manner you describe. It is one thing to be put off large meals–but if a slice of pizza is ‘too much’, that is a worry.</p>
<p>Do you have a GP or internist you can visit? I think a professional opinion is required to sort out the cause of your appetite woes.</p>
<p>Please let us know what happens…
Good luck</p>
<p>Yes, I’m a student.</p>
<p>You need to visit a doctor as soon as possible to rule out any serious illnesses.</p>
<p>Alright. I have an appointment tomorrow and I talked to them and they’re not worried! (based on my history…) Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>well done. Let us know what they say–and if your appetite returns…</p>
