No desire to eat

2017-11-02 01:20:10
Lately I have had no desire to eat. I have no idea if this is a mental or physical problem, but I have had no pain from it. I am 17 years old, 5’1, and I weigh 114 pounds. With that being said, how long can I go without eating? I would like to know just in case I completely lose my appetite.
