Forgetting To Eat

Post Reply New Topic

I hate forgetting things cuz of my Aspergers, but how can you forget to eat all day. I’m eating now at 8:45PM

I did that today, actually. Usually, it's breakfast or lunch, today it was both.

I often forget to drink something too.

I don't forget to eat or drink.

My stomach always reminds me to eat although if I am not careful I often end up wolfing my food down so I can get back to whatever I was doing. If I am reading though I have to stop and make a mug of tea regularly. I cannot read properly unless I have my one pint mug full of tea beside me.

When I was super-absorbed in painting and drawing I used to forget to eat. Sometimes I'd make myself a cup of coffee and it would go completely cold right next to me. Maybe setting an alarm clock or timer on a computer would be a good idea... and plan meals that are easy to assemble before you get too absorbed.

I used to forget to go to bed too.

I often forget until I get shaky. The worst is when then you're too hungry to make something! I try to keep healthy snacks around for when that happens.

I did that sometimes when I 1st got the internet. I was addicted & would get so caught up in stuff on comp that I would forget to eat & then when I remembered, I had to force myself to eat & I would only eat half of what I would normally eat & feel full & run back to comp.

Rarely do I forget to eat

And even then it is just as couple of hours

What are you doing when you forget to eat?

I'd like to forget to eat sometimes LOL

Yes. Especially if I'm very focused at something else.

the only way I forget to eat is if I"m absorbed in something but generally I will atleast eat breakfast and dinner but just nothing else in between.

I tend to forget to eat when I am very focused in my research (reading).

Unless something really unusual happens, eating is my primary thought all day long

Its pretty easy actually. I forget all the time. Sometimes its cause Im too absorbed in something. Or if Im lazy and like "I'll eat later" and then just never get around to it. On like lazy days where I just sit around and draw, read, or watch Netflix, than Im not burning any calories so theres no real need for me to eat. I just dont really think about it. I'll eat if I feel hungry. But if I dont feel hungry for a day or two than I wont eat. Simple.
(Besides sometimes Im just not in an eating mood. Like, food just doesnt seem desirable and Id be forcing it down if I tried to eat anything)

When i sit around, read a book, surf internet, I feel like eating more, not less
