Last year when I went thru an awful anxious week I lost 7 pounds. I wasn't worried at all about the weight loss. I knew I hadn't been able to eat and eating and weight are hand in hand. Sadly once the anxious phase went by all my weight went back on..no worries......just force yourself to eat more if you can and you'll see the number on the scale changeStill having the weight loss issue and its sending me spiraling.
But, have been eating less too. One corrilates to the other but my mind wont allow it to make sense.
This morning is pretty bad.
I know, but ive lost a bit more then that. Almost 20lbs since Feb 7th.Last year when I went thru an awful anxious week I lost 7 pounds. I wasn't worried at all about the weight loss.

Eating less calories+ daily activities burning some of them calories= weight loss no need to worry.I know, but ive lost a bit more then that. Almost 20lbs since Feb 7th.
But, between March and today, ive had 30 days where ive had 1000 calories or more LESS then what I'm suppised to. Only 12 days were 100-300 less and 2 were over.
Counting the other 30 days, 60 days were 500 or more calories LESS than what I need.
So, alot of days not getting my recommended caloric intake.
I do the same thing after panic and anxiety attacks where I feel nauseous so I don’t eat. I think the other day when I had an attack I had half a sandwich all day and wasn’t hungry at all. We just have to make sure we’re keeping our bodies strong even through the anxiety.I know, but ive lost a bit more then that. Almost 20lbs since Feb 7th.

Yup. I weighed myself Thursday again. Ive lost 13 lbs since Feb 7th. Maybe not as bad as I thought. But still stressful.I do the same thing after panic and anxiety attacks where I feel nauseous so I don’t eat.

Mine does fluctuate. Always has. But for some reason, this time its got me anxious because of what my doc said.I know this is an old post but I wonder If all anxious people are like me. I can lose and gain weight easier than anyone I know. I gain a good twenty five pounds and in two or three weeks lose the majority of it. I believe our body are so tense we tend to burn a ton more calories than we think, I dunno. But weight fluctuations with me have been normal for the majority of my illness. Ages 16-36
So true. That's the cycle I'm currently in.I was having undesired weight loss over the past few months and I started drinking Ensure to help bolster my caloric intake. It took a while but the weight is getting back to where I want it. I've been there and it's scary, and as you know, having it be scary makes it happen even more. Ugh!
I'm not understanding, What is your fear here?Mine does fluctuate. Always has. But for some reason, this time its got me anxious because of what my doc said.
I'm tracking it pretty hard. Since March 28, Ive lost 6 lbs. That's 3 lbs a month and less then a lb a week. Really not that bad and a doctor would probably laugh at me.
Since Feb 8th, Ive lost about 15 lbs. Still not bad, especially since I had a significant caloric deficit for Feb and March.
Based on my caloric intake alone, I possibly could have lost more.
So true. That's the cycle I'm currently in.
Feb and March, I had a significant caloric deficit. April wasnt as significant, but still around 700 a day deficit for the month. May has been around 400 a day.
So, my weight loss can be explained, but my mind wont accept it.
And, I dont dare to eat more because I'm afraid I wont gain weight and go into a panic. Its a vicious cycle.
That my weight loss is due to something else. The diet could explain it, but I haven't been this "small" for about 10 years.I'm not understanding, What is your fear here?
did you also realize with your added worry , heart rate, etc, might be causing more weight loss ?That my weight loss is due to something else. The diet could explain it, but I haven't been this "small" for about 10 years.
Thats why I'm scared to exceed my calories because if I do and still lose weight, thats a clue something can be wrong.
I'm hoping its my diet and the fact that I'm a big fella and the weight came off easier.
Nope. Never even considered it. Is that true?did you also realize with your added worry , heart rate, etc, might be causing more weight loss ?
anytime you increase your heartrate, you will burn more calories. Why do you think caffeine is so popular for weight loss? There is nothing wrong with you other than your obsession with these thoughts. We’ve all been there.Nope. Never even considered it. Is that true?
