Staying committed to a tight budget, having a bad cold, being in love or feeling extreme guilt all can keep your appetite from attacking you. Determined to not give in to hunger or just totally having lost interest in food, you find eating less can almost be good, empowering. As Mr. Money Mustache writes:

to it, having a slight craving in your tummy can make you feel
invigorated and warriorlike. When you are really hungry, eat a good
meal. But if you're just slightly hungry, imagine that your body has
moved its suction tube from the usual "stomach" setting, over to "stored
fat reserves". It is now a positive challenge to maintain this mild
hunger as long as possible, because you want to keep that suction going
