It’s so helpful to be able to relate to other people who are going through similar problems. I started losing weight a little when I developed health problems…gradually it continued after covid infection last November.. I was slim before but now I look like a skinny old lady lol.. I try not to stress about it and eat when I can, also eating good food but my anxiety and depression makes me go on binges eating everything that isn’t good for me, of course I gain a couple of pounds but the binging makes me sick later with lots of cramps and I lose my extra weight again.. I don’t want meds every time I have an issue, I swear the meds just add to the problem or cause other symptoms. It’s like I don’t know myself anymore since the pandemic and then cancer.. I pray every day for good news and hope that all the chaos in the world will settle down so we can all get back to just living our lives amen.

Hi Frouke,
I had the same problem when I started to lose weight with my incontinence! I got down to looking like a skinny little old lady also! (I'm 77.) I hated looking like that! My husband was so sweet and said I looked just as good as ever. But I didn't! I prayed a lot about this and I am starting to weigh a little more. Some of my clothes actually fit me again!
When you go on eating binges, what do you eat? My mom always said that if you crave a food, your body needed it. That's too bad about the cramps.
I agree with you about the medications. I am very sensitive to many medications; even Tylenol. So I stay away from them.
It would be nice if the world settled down again but from what I've read in the Bible I think we are in the last days. However, we do know the ending of that and we'll be up in Heaven with all of this terribleness behind us.
In the meantime, I'll say a prayer for you! Best of luck with your weight gain!
