It's important to first find the cause of why you stopped eating in the first place. If you believe this was caused by a physical issue, visiting a medical doctor is a good step. If you feel that an emotional issues has caused this problem, then perhaps a therapist and doctor may be able to assist.

Start slowly. Gradually add things to your plate. Your appetite will come back sooner or later. If this doesn't work, try consulting a doctor.
