What was your time time of losing your weight?The same happen to me. I drop so far like 17 lbs in 2 months and it's a struggle trying to gain it back because my appetite is still so messed up from this anxiety and stress.

I didn't realize I lost weight until I went in to the doctor and she told me I was 94 lbs then I watched it and within a week i think I went to 91. Yeah my appetite is way better but still not what it should be and Even when I eat a lot I just burn it off by being anxious or working.

Yeah all I know is I first got on the scale in june and I weighed 175 and like 2 weeks later I had went down to 169 then at 167 and I stayed at that weight for like a whole month or so then like first of august I drop 7 more pounds cuz my anxiety and stress came back even worse when someone I knew passed away. And it's like I've never struggle to gain weight back this is crazy
