    REALLY? i lost a heap of weight this year too, anxiety kicked in at peak time of weight loss then i slowly started to gain and now its coming back in all sorts of weird places...Big butt and cottage cheese thighs....

    Have you changed your diet? are you stressed?

      Hi Vix, anxiety is unbelievable, can't even drive into town and go to the shop.  Depression as well I think with constant blubbering.  But I have no appetite - I've always been a big girl but now I'm losing weight.

      Hi Catherine 

      This Ian how I was . I was so anxious that I was loosing probably pound every day . I could not eat anything just no appetite . Now it is much better and I am gaining my weight back . As long as there are no any underlying conditions to loose weight is not  a bad thing . I checked everything just to make sure that I am ok . I am exersicong  walking a lot and watching only comedies . You are not alone this is for sure .

      You said change your diet what can you eat because I can do cheese it's so hard. I need to find out what can I eat going through this perimenpause.

    What I'm getting here then is that the weight loss is due to the anxiety - do you lose your appetite with anxiety and depression?
