Anxiety fearing the worse because I'm loosing weight again

Mental health
1

NOW I have a new fear , I'm loosing weight , but I'm eating all the time and the only activity I do is yoga once a week and walking about 2miles a day but I'm eating pizza, burgers and fries, milkshakes , anything I desire I eat but nothing is making me bigger and I'm about 5ft 6" tall and I only weigh 159lbs I need to know am I dying or something I'm scared

No lol. Yoga and walking is great you are fixing your metabolism in a positive way. Im around that height i was 111 at one point.  Don't worry about that. My doctor told me goal is 135-140 and i bet your blood pressure is fixing itself too. Probably a good idea to eat healthier though.

Well your diet sucks, lol

But

BMI, body mass index is a good rule of thumb for the scale of healthy weight

I am 5ft3" and weight about 136ib but my bmi is within a healthy range

I lost huge amounts of weight when I first had AD and the more I worried the more weight I lost

I threw away the scales, stopped focusing upon it/worrying myself thinner, and gradually, slowly, my natural weight was restored

Dear, you are not underweight

have you been tested for celiac disease? you are eating waaay too many carbs for anyone to be healthy. Trade out the bready stuff and eat your veggies!  159 is not thin. I am over 5 6 and under 120 pounds.

i agree, get rid of the scale and focus on how you feel.

Thanks for supporting my response!

Much appreciated because I found I was getting obsessively fearful over the drastic weight loss I suffered

The more I worried

The more weight I lost

I don;t want anyone else to go down that path

I was always weighing myself because my clothes were dropping off me.

I was incredibly thin, dropping to 84 pounds

And who was to blame?

Me. No one else. Just myself

Once I thought, Oh, sod it! I started getting well again, putting back the weight. Took me almost a year and I brought all that upon myself by worrying when there was nothing to worry about

I would hate it to happen to anyone else

A lesson learned

Thanks Dee

I was not trying to correct you, I just want you to stop worrying about your weight.  Think about how you feel, that is what is important.  

When I lost 40 pounds in 4 months from CD, I was horrified. Weight loss is a funny thing, it effects all of the body, which includes the mind. 

I really have no idea what I actually weigh. I tossed out my scale. Last weigh in was 15 months ago at 119. My clothes still fit the same and I feel mostly OK. I have diseases so there is that to contend with.  

Seriously though, get rid of the bread and replace it with real protien and lots of veggies, but before you do that, get a CD test.

Is this meant for me?

Hey there Jenni, i too am having a real rough time with weight loss, let me mention im 41 yr old male who was 214lb muscalar gym rat, since going off Cymbalta and starting on a low dose of Setraline(zoloft) for anxiety i have lost 24 lbs in about 3.5 months. My wife tells me it not to worry about but its like im hungry but when foods in front of me i only eat small portions. I have always been a hearty eater. Im freaking out a bit and my energy for the gym has subsided from 6 days a week to maybe 3 or 4 at best. The sad part is , that im not trying to lose weight. Im really getting frustrated with this stress and anxiety thing, hope i can manage thru this...Good Luck

nope sorry, that was for Jenni. 

11

Thought so! LOL

Easy error. One I have done before

Jenni

I wish I could be like you, some people burn more energy than others, they can take in more or less calories and never put on weight. Two miles a day is a good gallop 14 miles a week so your weight will not be a problem.

If you are concerned talk to your GP., You are not dying, you seem fit

I wish I could loose weight

Ah, but then Bob, there would be less of you for us to like and admire!

Not a happy thought!

14

Aw Helen thank you 

BOBxx

15

I speak as I find, Bob

16

I know i definitely should be eating healthier . I just want to gain a few lbs I feel too skinny , just like 7-10 lbs is where I want to be

17

😂😂😂 I know Helen 😩 I just want to gain a few more lbs just a little because I lost so much weight from the anxiety I think I'm not healthy. But more than likely its mental

18

And that's me now I'm worried all the time if its not about one things its another , but I'm eating but not consistently and with all the worrying my clothes are not fitting the way the once were when I was in a happier less stressful state of mind

Jennie,

eating junk food is not a good way to gein weight

Please believe that

It's the "wrong" kind of weight

Regular balanced meals are the way forward. Did you read my responses? That was the way I did it. And I went super thin. Looked awful, I truly did

A healthy diet will make you not only look good but feel good too!

I'll ask my doctor about the test
