I Think There Is Something Wrong With Me
Posted: 11-13-06 04:04am

I'm a bit worried cause in the last 3 weeks i've lost one pound short of a stone (27 lbs) but I haven't been dieting. I've just been eating as normal but my clothes started to hang off me. I have had no flu etc either.

I'm worried I may have an illness. I have an appointment with the doctor on firday but I was wondering if anyone had some advice.

27 lbs is one pound short of 2 stone not 1 and that is a significant weight loss. You should go and see your doctor because you may have an underlying medical problem that needs to be treated.

There are many illnesses that can cause unintended weight loss and I wouldn't want to name any of them in case it was wrong and frightened you unnecessarily.

Are you a lot more active than you used to be? Are you sure you're not eating less?

I'm not happy with it cause it doesn't look right on me. I'm about 8 st now (112lbs) I look awful but I can't eat even more food. I just can't manage huge amounts
