Is this normal?

Question:

Within 3 months I have lost 20 lbs. Usually I would love the fact as I have been trying to lose weight for the last 10 years. But I have no appetite and I am afraid I am just going to keep losing weight. I really am not trying to lose weight. Right now I am 116 lbs which is not underweight but getting there.

About 5 months ago I ended a relationship, but I do not miss the relationship or miss my ex. I am not depressed, if anything I am happy and have increased interest in life (including another man). Could this have something to do with it? Should I be worried?

Answers:
Unexplained weight loss, especially that signifigant is always cause for concern.

Many things can cause it, so you need to talk to a doctor to get to the bottom of it.

Since you mentioned you are not depressed about the breakup, and the weightloss did not start untill 2 months AFTER the breakup, I doubt the two are related, unless you are scared of not getting a guy if you are "heavier" that what you weigh now. In that case you may need a therapist.

Good luck.

dont worry about it. just contiue eating 3 meals a day w/ 2 snacks a day and you will be ok.
