Good morning.

I for unknown reasons a struggling with my weight recently. 6/7 months ago I was just under 9 stone and today I'm 7st 5. I'm not doing anything different I eat the same I don't go to the gym my daily activities are the same. My appetite definitely has decreased a bit but I still make sure I'm eating. I'm confused because 2 weeks ago I was 7st 12 some how I've managed to lose 7 pounds in a few weeks. The only health problems known is anemia but I've had that pretty much since a child. BMI is 17.1 which obviously isn't great. What am I doing wrong🤔 I'm not vegetarian or vegan my diet is quite wide.

I think you need to make an appointment with your doctor.

Odds are that you're just eating less than you think, but with unexplained weight loss I'd be going to the GP for bloods just in case.

You need to make a gp appointment. Unexplained weight loss needs to be investigated.

Did you discuss the weight loss with your GP?

I didn't mention it to the gp, I didn't really begin weighing myself or was aware of the amount that I have been loosing until around about a month ago.

What does a typical days food like for you?

But yes, you should see your gp.

You need to go back then and discuss the weight loss.

I wake around 6:30 with my kids and have a tea. Around 10am I'll have something small like wetabix or crackers. I'll snack through the day I don't have lunch everyday but if I do it's usually omelette or sausage roll, and most nights I'll eat something with meat and potatoes. And snack a little in the evening.
