HI Folks,
I'm having a little 'flip out' over how many people are saying "are you still losing weight?". Most people would think this is a good thing but i'm terrified as i'm not trying.... at all.
I'm still within a healthy range but my weight is dropping (not drastically) but dropping and i'm terrified it's due to some illness... like AIDS, cancer or something just as sinister.
A quick overview of weight loss:
I had my implant removed last May (after 5 years and an increase in 2 stone). I started on the pill and lost weight gradually, very slowly, until i became pretty ill with food poisoning for around 6 weeks last July and 1.5 stone dropped off. Between July and Jan, i've kept a decent weight of around 10 st 4 (i'm just under 5" 8) but in the last few days i've dropped to a under 10 (around 9st 12). I can see it myself i've lost a bit more weight and i'm eating my usual (maybe not as much as i should).
I'm so concerned there is something underlying which is causing unintentional weight loss - i have anxiety over HIV & Cancer, tumours anyway and this is not helping!
My wedding is in 2 months and trust me, i would rather have some beef on me than none at all! I just don't want to waste away.
I know this is not dramatic weight loss but it's concerning me and i'm very upset that i can't look at it as being a positive thing!
And with people going on about it all the time, it makes me feel worse. I'm worried they notice because i look ill.
Please help, has anyone had this before?
I'm praying there's nothing wrong.
