I'm late joining in on this conversation but I would like to thank Dr. Sue and Sage for their expert advice and opinions.
I usually eat two meals per day (breakfast and lunch) and each meal is about half of what a normal adult would eat. During bouts of emetophobia, I don't lose my apetite. Sometimes I'm very hungry in the evening but I'm either too scared to eat anything or I'll eat something very light and small such as a handful of popcorn or cereal.
My question is, does the anorexia definition only apply to a loss of apetite?
