But Im not hungry!

Am I alone in this feeling?

How do you get past it?

Trust me, you're not alone. *Hugs* I wish I knew how to get past it :(

basically you need to eat, doesnt matter if youre not hungry, think youre full, think you had too much, ate a lot the previously day, no one else is eating, dont like it...

youre underweight, youre unhealthy, youre destroying your mind+body--

mechanical eating involves following a schedule of eating, regardless of how you are feeling, what you are thinking, or what you are doing.this means eating breakfast shortly after getting up in the morning, lunch around noontime, and dinner in the early evening. you may schedule snacks, if you prefer to have smaller meals and to eat more frequently. snacks should be eaten mid-morning, mid,-afternoon, and before bedtime. after your body adapts to this amount of food you might find that you become hungry for the next snack or meal.once your healthy-weight is restored you can go back to normalized eating and listening to your hunger signals as they should be more in tune.

Agru has nailed it. If you're aiming for 2500 (which is ideal when gaining weight to jolt your metabolism; 3000 if you're male) then here are some example plans:

Sample 1 (good if you prefer to eat more earlier in the day):

Breakfast 600
Snack 1 250
Lunch 600
Snack 2 250
Dinner 550
Snack 3 250

Sample 2 (good if you prefer to eat more of an evening):

Breakfast 550
Snack 1 250
Lunch 600
Snack 2 250
Dinner 600
Snack 3 250

Sample 3 (good if you like having dessert after dinner):

Breakfast 600
Snack 1 200
Lunch 600
Snack 2 200
Dinner 600
Snack 3 400

Total for all 2500

If you're not hungry (this is different than just an occasional day or meal), then you need to eat according to a schedule.  It took me a couple of weeks of eating breakfast before I was hungry in the mornings.
