I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forums to post on, but it said main board so I'm going to risk posting here.
Hi, I'm a 25 yr old guy, who is about 6'4 and weighs just about 300lbs. I've always been big, but in the last 3 years I've reached and maintained a weight of around 290-310 lbs. I've always been shy around people and primarily girls, though in college I have little problem talking to them. My weight has been the primary reason why I got kicked out of UW Madison, because I was conscious of how I looked and wouldnt leave my dorm to go to class etc. It also affects my behavior around girls I know or like.
I realised a few months back that I hardly ever felt hungry.. I ate out of habit or out of a craving for something. Fortunately, I met a girl 6 months back, and only just realised 3 weeks back that I'm extremely fond of her. Heres the problem.. shes 5'9 and weighs 120lbs. I havent yet told her how I feel, but ever since I found out that I like her, I've lost my apetite. We are visiting friends (her and 4 of my friends) in the South and over the last 8 days I've not drunk 1 diet or non diet soda. I've consumed about half an omelette or half a sandwich a day and drunk water the rest of the time. Eating about a handful of nuts sometimes (just 1 handful in a day). As an example just yesterday all I ate was 1/5th of an IHOP omellete and 2 spoons of has browns and for dinner I had 1 slice of bread with some soup.
My stomach growls a lot, but I dont have any cravings... I dont stare at food, dont feel really hungry anymore.... What do you think is up.. and is this normal?
