Sudden weight loss

5 replies

starsnstripes · 20/03/2009 11:29

I am 42 and in the last 4 weeks have been losing quite a lot of weight.
I have had so many comments from people about my weight,mostly around the face,shoulders and legs.
I have not been on a diet at all although usually miss breakfats and lunch but eat cooked meal every night and snacks sometimes during the day.
Also feel very teary and emotional.

I have also been having trouble sleeping and feel spaced out most of the time.
Or as DH puts it "away with the fairies"

I have no sex drive or motivation and suffer panic attacks.

Anyone had any similar experience,would be grateful for some feedback.

Meant to say I don't usually weigh myself but I know about 10 months ago I was 10 stone 5 and weighed myself today and was 7 stone 7.

I just don't feel hungry during the day.
I think sometimes I get anxious and don't feel like eating but tend to eat more late evening when I am more relaxed,if that makes sense.

Will phone the doctor and see what they say.
Have been putting it off.

Have made an appointment with a doctor for next week.

Have not had my thyroids checked,maybe that could be an explanation.
