Truly, Lisa--I agree with you about anxiety/G.A.D. causing weightloss or accelerated 'burn.' I'm living proof. Lately, I just cannot keep up with my metabolism and I keep dropping.
Anymore and I'll look anorectic/skeletal. It already hurts to sleep (i.e. bones rubbing against each other and what poses as a bed.)
I've started eating animal protein again, too. I find that sugar really makes me ill/nauseated and gags me--so that's out. Starchy carbs really render me unconscious, i.e. put me in a coma and well...they kind of don't sit in my tummy very long or well, so they're gone. TMJ/bad teeth beyond belief just make me too frustrated or tired to chew. I guess I need a little meat on my bones to haul around my skeletal burden for my duration on Earth. Muscle power/tone.
I get depressed and well...just lose my appetite. I fill up so fast.
I just don't want to lose more & it's hard not to obsess about it.
Aie!!! Challenges. I've stopped really counting calories, or at least being very obsessive--having a more go with the flow attitude.
