Hi, so my family and I moved from the US to Germany back in September...The day after we arrived I had a major panic attack (which I thought was something medically wrong with me at the time) and since then I've been in the "cycle of panic" or whatever they call it.
Anyway, over the past few months I was barely sleeping (4-5 hours a night MAX, and I woke up multiple times) and I lost my appetite, I was eating, but not nearly as much as I was in the US, and I cut out having snacks after dinner. I also was walking a lot more than I had in the US, but I didn't think I was walking THAT much.
A couple weeks before we moved I weighed 144 lbs (65 kg) and then gained a little weight right before we left (I was about 147 lbs/66-67 kg). But then I ended up losing 12 lbs (about 5.4 kg) and getting down to 135 lbs (61 kg) after 2 months of this anxiety/panic cycle, not sleeping much, and losing my appetite (but not entirely). Now I am at about 138 lbs/62 kg since my appetite has come back.
But when I was losing weight and I DID eat, I was eating crap mostly, so I am confused how I could lose so much weight in 2 months when I was only walking more (I didn't walk for miles a day!) and I wasn't snacking at night, and I was eating less, but not necessarily lower calories than I had eaten in the US....I hope this makes sense.
Basically I was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about (you know, CANCER) or if this sounds normal. Thoughts? Thanks guys!!
