Appetite

Most people I have talked to think hunger and appetite are the same.
My sister for example doesnt understand how I can feel hunger but still not want to eat.

Even though I feel hunger pains, at times the thought of eatting makes me feel a little nauseous. But that feeling goes away after I stop trying to force my self to eat.

I used to feel this a lot when I was anorexic as a teen. But I have been feeling this again a lot. As I was doing a little research I came across articles that said loss of appetite long term is actually considered anorexia. Now Im just confussed. I dont consider my self anorexic. I considered my self in recovery. Im not trying lose weight in an unhealthy way. If I am being honest this confussion has made me feel like I havent recovered at all. I feel disappointed. Recovery is hard and now its as if I havent at all.

If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would appreciate it very much.
