I don't know why but I have to make myself eat. I am 26 and have kids, I have high metabolism and weigh about 110 pounds. I have Never went on a "diet" and don't worry about my weight (until I notice it has dropped to much) but I don't ever get "hungry" until I start to get shaky or a gut ache from having nothing in there. Even then I don't want to eat but I make myself eat something just to get rid of the shaky feeling. I feel like eating is a waste of time and I certainly don't have the time to stop and eat 3 to 4 times a day. It is so much easier for me to grab a carnation breakfast drink or an Ensure shake to give me a boost. Im not anorexic, I'm not bulimic (I hate puking), I just simply don't remember to eat and don't enjoy eating. I have seen the Dr. about this many times and they have tried a variety of different medications to simulate an appetite but everything that I have tried just makes me really sick. So is it Normal for me to NOT feel hunger??? Does anyone else have this problem?

    After a while of not eating when you're hungry or just not eating enough, you actually train your body to not get hungry. But you still need to eat. You should always have snacks or something with you to eat if you don't have time to sit down for a meal.

    I'm jealous.

    If I was never hungry, I wouldn't be so damn big.

    I'm the same but I wouldn't consider it normal, I only weigh 43kg but trying to gain more.
    Difference with me is that I enjoy eating, just can't force myself to do it if I'm not hungry~

    I think you should try ignore the fact that you're not hungry and get into a healthier eating habit. Maybe spoil yourself with something you really like to start off with so that you regain your appetite?

    I used to be like that. Once i went the whole weekend without food and I wasn't even hungry but my mom made me eat. I was so energetic too, so it's not like I wasn't like I just sat there and thus consumed less energy.

    I only eat when I know my body needs food.
