Whatever it is, it's unhealthy. If you're trying to lose weight, eating only once a day isn't a good way to do it. Your metabolism gets too low when you go too long without eating, and that might even be the cause of your blackouts. It's much better for you to eat three times a day, because that keeps your metabolism steady and helps your body burn calories. If your mother thinks you're too skinny and you still think you're just as fat as when you weighed ten pounds more, that's a very bad sign. An unrealistic body image is a symptom of anorexia. If it isn't anorexia, your loss of appetite could be a sign of some other health problem. Either way, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Tell him about both the loss of appetite and the blackouts. Be sure to mention your self-image problems.
[edit]
Loss of appetite is one of the most common side effects of Concerta (see link). You should talk to your doctor about it. Meanwhile, you should try to eat three times a day even if some of your meals are something light like an apple or a banana. Blackouts aren't on the list of side effects, so you may be suffering from low blood sugar or malnutrition. I still strongly recommend asking your doctor about the blackouts, because that could be a sign of some other condition.Im a guy.. am i anorexic?
