FMIL is having a nervous breakdown!

She went nuts loosing weight in the past 10 months, she has lost 110 pounds!!!!!!!!!

She is now on the search for a dress, and she says everything she tries on makes her look fat! I told her she is insane! She is half the size she used to be, everybody i s going to be amazed on how great she looks! She is worried about the loose skin.

She started taking dexatrim! ^
She started smoking cigaretteds!

I told her we are going to have to cancel the wedding and plan a funeral! It is not good for y our heart to loose so much weight so quickly, and then take dexatrim and start smoking! I think she is going nuts!

I hope once she finds a dress, she will calm down! FH and I searched the net today and e-mailed her many pictures of dresses! Hopefully she will be okay. I don't want to kill her because of the stress of her baby boy getting married, and she has to look her best!

She was going to get a tummy tuck and a face lift, but FH's cousin died while under anesthesia getting plastic surgery, 2 weeks ago. ( she was in the paper) So now she is against doing it. ( I don't blame her!)

I just hope she calms down and doesn't stress so bad! Thanks for letting me vent!^ —

She lives in pennsylvania, so we don't really get to see her much. I wish she was here on LI, so she could be more of a part of the planning, then I could go shopping with her and ease her mind.

We told her if she doesn't stop the smoking, we are going to start smoking crack!l i

WOW!! 110 pounds in 10 months! She must have worked so hard! I am sure she will look great in anything she wears--I hope she realizes that soon though! Good Luck

Wow. I would be so scared. Maybe you should talk to a doctor who deals with this type of stuff. I hope everything gets better.

Re: FMIL is having a nervous breakdown!

this should not be taken lightly. maybe she needs to see a therapist. although she has lost a ton of weight, in her mind she thinks it is not enough. i am sure people have bugged and even teased her in the past about her weight and she is probably still in that mind set.

is there any other family members that live w/ or near her?

Only her husband, and he is not taking this too well. I am sure he is stressed out because of her, and what she is doing to herself. I think we may have to drive out there one weekend and go visit her.
