I hope you want to lose weight otherwise this is not a good thing. It could be a sign of depression. Please take care of yourself that should be priority number 1 from now on.
OP - At first it was depression fueling the weight loss. Now it is my choice to keep it up as I needed to lose weight. I feel so much better and look better too. One thing I have realized was that I used food for comfort in dealing with H's depression and anger while he was here. One thing I am sure of is that it is not for H. He married me when I was heavier than I am now, and weight never seemed to be much of a issue for him. At least not that he ever said.
Thats fine. I lost 25 lbs. on MLC diet, my wife has lost 35 lbs. We were on atkins for 15 years and only lost a few pounds now this and look how much weight we lost. I did gain some back in the last few days not sure I am happy about that either, but I had gotten to a weight that I didn't want to lose any more either.
Oh yeah, the old MLC diet. I lost about 30 lbs. in a matter of a few months last school year. My diet consisted of diet coke and crackers. Everyone at school would ask what I was doing. lol.
Gotta look out cuz now that I'm happier it's starting to creep back on. Jeans are a little snug.
Losing some excess weight is a benefit, just be sure you don't get run down and sick from not eating.

SoCo- I eat everything, just not much of it. They say that women that have gone through menopause have a difficult time losing weight. This has been the easiest it has ever been. LOL Thanks for the concern, I sure appreciate it.
OP- Just got through reading your threads. I admire how you've handled your sitch. All the best.
SoCo, that was me, too. I just couldn't keep down what I ate. I lost 20 pounds in the space of a few weeks, pushing me down to what I weighed in jr high! Not good. I have gained a couple back and eat fine now, fortunately.
I have always been 20-30 lbs. heavy but wore it well for 6' 3", except in a bathing suit. I dropped 70 lbs. in 4 months not by choice I would just forget to eat. Now I can't get it to come back, I am more insecure about how I look now than when I was heavier.
Do watch out and take care of yourself, I find that after I exercise, I eat for the right reasons, instead of for comfort or b/c I need to eat to gain weight.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
