Worried about weight loss

In the last year, I've dropped 40 pounds. I weigh the same now that I did in junior high, after two babies. I seriously fit into my jeans from 8th grade.

I'm terrified. I've had issues with anorexia before, and I can't see any difference between my body now and last year. Everyone's commenting on my drastic weight loss, even my husband, and it's stressing me out which just kills my appetite even more. I feel unattractive, I still feel fat, I'm not even trying to lose weight and I can't stop. Between waitressing, two babies, nursing, and walking my pitty, I get plenty of exercise but I can't make myself have any appetite. I don't know what to do, it's really bothering me. I've gotten the flu twice this winter. None of my clothes fit any more and I can't afford to get new ones so I look awful (I have to wear size 13 jeans when I'm in an 8 now, at work it's just ridiculous. My belt doesn't even fit). I'm scared to say anything because the hubs will flip if he finds out that I think I'm having ED problems again.

Wrong thread lol Woops!

I have the same problem, but i dont think im fat at all i dont have body image issues with being fat i just have NO appetite and it's hard to force myself to eat, I've been like this my whole life just really skinny. But recently i have gotten down to a really unhealthy weight. I'm drinking Ensure Plus 3 times a day and hoping it will help maybe try that.

I was anorexic in high school. I always feel like I look so fat. My problem was I would binge. I would go weeks to months and only graze then bam! I would eat like crazy then end up crying about it. I lost 50 lbs the summer between 8th grade and 9th. I wore a size 10/12 in little girls the day I graduated high school. I now weigh 145 and I feel like I really need to loose 20-30 lbs.

I'm really worried that I can't stop losing weight. I feel so gross and ugly all the time because my clothes are too big and I can't see any difference now (130) vs 170 lbs. Do I tell someone? I lost weight so fast I ended up in the er because my abdominal wall toned up before my uterus did and I was having terrible pain like appendicitis.

Maybe talk to a nutritionist, and save some money so you can get some new clothes that fit or maybe with your income tax return you can get some new clothes that's what i'm doing.

Well if ur fitting in a size 8 or hell even a 13 ur far from fat hun. If youre not having an appetite for food then try drinks. v8, milk, smoothies, soup broths, maybe yogurts. Or try small food items like cereal or granola bars, nuts, fruits, speacial k has a lot of options out there for small snacks, popcorn, cubes of cheese, crackers, carrot or celery sticks. As long as you're eating small snacks through out the day that means you are trying & means you aren't starving urself. If you still don't have the urge to eat go see a doctor it could be an illness you have obtained. Or hell even see a nutritionist. You will do okay. And as far as not having $ for fitting clothes try going to the dollar store & getting a few cheap shirts & dress pants maybe. Or flea markets or thrift stores. You can buy just one thing at a cheap price at a time, Good luck. I'm here if you need to talk.

special K is so GOOD!
