i have no idea why this is happening to me (not that i mind cuz i could always stand to lose a few butt.......)

i noticed it started a few weeks ago (maybe more than a few weeks). i have always loved all kinds of cheese (could live on it!) but then i started to become picky and only wanted white cheeses. THEN became pickier and only wanted swiss. im sure that soon i will no longer want swiss.

i know i am hungry but nothing appeals to me. i am pretty much having to force myself to eat. dont get me wrong as im not skin and bones!

am i becoming anorexic? or are there some medical issues i could be having that would make me lose my desire to eat?

No, that is not how people become anexoric. People choose to not eat that are anexoric and it then just becomes an out of control illness. I would obviously tell you that you need to see your doctor. This is not normal and you should be evaluated.

Anxiety, emotional stress, and hormones are usually what cause me to temporarily loose my appetite. It is best to try and eat something, because the longer you go without eating the worse it gets. Maybe you could try to eat a favorite food, like bacon?
You should see a doctor if it persists as there are some serious conditions with a loss of appetite as a symptom(not to scare you). Feel better!

I started out like that last summer and became a vegan of sorts for several months. Make sure you are getting your protein Nico and fruits and vegetables, I would say if it persists, a physical...

Are you taking a new medication?

I am taking Paxil for anxiety and panic attacks and it has this effect on me. Unfortunately its not long lived. It usually subsides and my appetite returns, how fast depends on the dosage I am taking.

I have in the past had this happen when I am under an unusual amount of stress as well.

Maybe you have spent too much time reading the "weird food habits" thread and got grossed out??
The baggy pants without undies could definitely be a problem unless you are looking to start a new trend. HHMM... are belts necessary?
Seriously though, you should get a physical if it persists. We don't want anyone using you as an example over in the thin vs. curvy thread.
