Excuss yourself and go back behind and eat, return and keep going with what you were doing. If you boss, tries to put a stop to it, request you be given time to eat when necessary. Most that could happen is they fire you and you then have a case against them. I myself would not let them stop me. Your health is going down hill as the weight loss is probably due to the high sugars and lack of food. I agree with one of the other posters, talk to your doctor and get something written that will make them give you the time needed. I am surprised that your doctor is not questioning your weight loss.

I would try getting a note from your doctor for your boss. I had a job once where I was in the same situation as you are. Legally, they can’t do that to you. Threaten to bring the Americans With Disabilities Act down on them. I had to do this periodically….it would work for a while then my boss and I would start over. I eventually quit.
