Anyone else having this problem....what should I do? is it just nerves?

I keep losing weight! What the F is wrong with me. You might think i am crazy for complaining about this, but all 5'1' of me can't afford to be losing any weight.

It must be stress, i am going through a lot right now....on top of the wedding being less than 2 months away, i was recently in a car accident and out of work for a month (i have now been back to work for a few weeks, but still in pain), and FH and I are supposed to be moving the first week in March.

It ***** b/c i already had 2 fittings and now even though i need to technically gain weight....i feel like i can't bc then my dress wont fit Everytime i weigh myself (which isnt often, we dont even own a scale...i weigh less and less), i have not weighed this low since high school (if even then!) which was like 10 years ago! DO you think i should go to the doctor? or could this really be stress related? I have not gone to the gym in over 3 months (b/c of my accident), i have been eating fairly normal. I have even eaten McDonalds a few times which is out of the norm for me b/c i normally stay away from that type of thing ***!!!!

It's probably stress related... I hope I get your 'problem' when my wedding gets closer.
Just focus on eating healthy balanced meals for the next few weeks... don't try to bulk up on junk food it will just make u sick

I might...you seem concerned so I wouldnt even question it, I would def go....

It could be stress....however, its best not to assume, esp if you are eating normally and do not lose that way normally.

are you on any meds that result in weight loss?

I would really call you doc, you seem really worried and concerned and I dont blame u!

I wish I could lose weight but when I'm stressed, I eat!!! Instead of shedding pounds, my hair is falling out...I have alot of hair but if this continues, I'm going to go crazy.....
I would think it's stress related....

thanks, yeah it just makes me upset b/c i half of my clothes (pants) dont fit me anymore. I feel like i am losing my ***, lol and that is not cool. I went shopping, and was having a hard time finding sizes that fit me....i just dont want ppl to think that i am doing this to myself b/c that is so far from the truth

well if u haven't been to the gym you could be losing your muscles. muscles weight more than regular body fat so take that into consideration...don't go by the scale...go by what u look like...are your bones showing? do you look sickly? what about your weight vs healthy weight for your age and size?

yeah, i definately thought about the whole muscle thing. I am sure a lot of it is muscle. although, i also get someone telling me everyday that i look like i lost weight so that is what is making me worry. other times when i dont go to the gym, i still weigh more and my clothes still fit. i keep telling ppl not to worry though, b/c even if i dont gain the weight back now....i will DEFINATAELY gain it back when i go on my HM to Italy!

heather I am sure that some of it is from not working. You are constantly using your muscles and running around at work. I am sure things will get back to normal now that you are back at work

stress its happening to me. confirmed not a pregnancy or anything like an ulcer as well. Just not eating correctly because of time and nerves.

Just take it easy try to calm yourself like i am now and you will bounce back.

I can stand to drop some weight but you don't need to drop anything your perfect.

probably stress related but if you are worried, you should go to the doc to be sure. if it was stress, you worrying about it being stress isn't going to help

feel better!!

I totally have the same problem - I'm just scared my dress isn't going to fit so I eat throughout the day but just don't know where all of its going. I'm trying to gain weight and can't even tell people b/c they'll think I'm crazy It's probably stress and nerves - can't sleep at night either!

I've heard SO many brides say this. I think it is very normal. Unless you are feeling 'sick' in some other way - fatigue, nauseau, hair loss, etc. I wouldn't worry too much right now!

Definitely stress.... maybe if you track how much you are eating- to make sure you are eating enough you can help to keep the weight on. Also, high protein- like peanut butter & protein shakes can help you gain a few pounds & is good for you (not like eating a whole tub of ice cream)...

sorry to hear that, know the stress of it all since we are so close.
You should call your doctor and see what he/she said you don't want it to be something else beside being super stressed. I hope everything works out.

Everyone I speak to says before their wedding the dropped serious weight with out trying...I hope i have the same problem as time goes on. Like everyone said just try to relax...i remember going with my friend when she got her dress and they said the average bride loses 10 lbs without even trying....

i would go to a doctor. stress can cause illnesses which have side affects of losing weight.

i know because i had something like this in college caused by stress.

get blood tests. even if you feel like its stupid. then if they all come out ok at least you'll know for sure that it wasnt something serious.

dont worry about it...it is most likely just the stress but go to your dr anyway to make sure

I think its stress with all the pressures on you its taking a toll on you.

I wish stress would cause me to lose weight i couldn't drop a pound if I wanted to its all stuck in my hips and thighs
