Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hey Jean: I agree that it is fascinating how very small the world is. I am not exactly sure but I do think a stone is 14 lbs. I'm sure our friends across the pond will come to the rescue soon if I have totally muffed up this calculation. Have a lovely day...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hey Pam - Just went thru same thing the past few months. I could have cared less if I ate or not, just wasn't hungry. I'd eat something just to say I'd eaten. No apetite. I don't know if this corresponds with anything that's going on with you, but I found the " not hungry " feeling was associated with my thyroid levels being lower and the TSH going up. The loss of apetite went along with " hypo " symptoms for me. Oh - also, I wasn't losing weight either, I would stay the same or even gain a pound of two (very unusual when I don't eat), so I don't know if you've noticed that happening as well. Now that my TSH has taken a dive again, all of a sudden I'm hungry again (not a good sign, I think). You know, that hungrier than usual hunger. Does any of this jive with what your levels are doing, or am I just weird (OK, I know I'm weird, but is this particular thing weird)? As for what do do about it, I'd just eat something small since I wasn't hungry, but really caloric to make the most of what I was eating. Also had a lot of homemade milkshakes (yum, calcium too!) That or my hubby would go out and get food and I'd feel obligated to eat it because he spent money on it even if I didn't really want it. He really knows how to appeal to my sense of guilt. Don't worry, the apetite will come back. (who's taking advantage of feeling hyper and painting hubby's office before he comes home) P.S. Found a place that got some bugleweed tincture in, have to go check it out.

I was a meal skipper. > > Debbie R. Hi Debbie, Kudos to you for losing the weight! I've tried everything and just continue to gain, so I can appreciate the dedication it took for you to achieve your goals. I'm sure all the farm work you do helps too. Do you know the total number of calories you consume each day? I'd appreciate any tips you have for those of us still struggling with weight loss. Take care, Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An apple with nut butter is an excellent example of a healthy, balanced snack. I think of how much I'd eat at a typical meal and cut it in half. Not an exact measure, but close enough. I've been thinking about this and maybe not being hungry is your body's way of saying that you're feeding it what it needs and it's not starving for nutrients anymore. I'm not nearly as hungry as I was before I took the advice of you & others on the board and started eating healthier. Peace, Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
