Weight-Loss Skipping Meals...

[ptmhoosiers]

So I have started to get back into a routine of eating healthier and exercising. I am doing well so far, about a week into it, and looking forward to seeing some results.

I am young, 21 years old, but I am concerned about my metabolism.

After I convinced myself to being living healthier, in combination with getting more active this week, I have really lost my appetite, to an extent of not eating anything the other day. I didn't do this on purpose, I just never felt hungry and had a busy day so there was no time to feel the effects of not eating. The next morning I woke up, still didn't feel hungry, but forced myself to eat a nice breakfast just so I could have some food on my stomach.

So, my question is, what's up with this? How can I go from eating everything in sight 2 weeks ago to skipping meals and not feeling hungry or weak (even after doing 45 minutes of cardio!)

I must admit that I am losing weight, but I know that I am also destroying my metabolism as well. I am very worried about this, I feel like I am doing so well right now, and I would hate to "plateau" the weight loss in a few months because I am not eating enough during the day.

Any words of advice? Thanks in advance!

I am not sure about what is going on here, but this happens to me sometimes when I get really stressed or when I get sick.

If this happens frequently you may want to keep a food log and make sure you eat throughout the day. A friend of mine does this because his schedule is busy and he sometimes misses meals.

If this has only happened once or twice I wouldnt worry too much.
