Appetite seems to be fucked?

I think I've got a pretty big appetite problem.
Basically, I never feel hungry, and when I do eat, I can never finish off a whole meal. I always feel bloated when I eat, even if it's just toast in the morning, or if I haven't eaten all day, it hardly ever takes much to make me feel bloated then too.
I never used to be like this, I always used to eat a lot, but I've been getting by on less and less, and it begins to worry me a bit, even though my weight stays constant.
I get plenty exercise, I'm rarely ever ill and I don't drink that much.
Any ideas?

Other than the usual - NHS Direct 0845 46 47 and your GP - it could be that as you eat less you need less to feel full so you'd just need to build it up gradually again. However, since you seem to feel unable to do so, your GP is the best option.
Sorry I have no real medical ideas.
Loss of appitite is one of the (many) possible signs of depression. Have you noticed your sex drive going down too?
