You ever lose weight without even really realizing you are?

Lately that’s been happening to me and I don’t have the slightest reason as to why? I know my appetite has decreased but I am not very picky with what I eat like I haven’t been really choosing healthy foods , I still drink beer on the weekends I am on my feet a lot for work but nothing has really changed , I am not complaining , just wondering why all of a sudden this is happening? When before I had opposite results and would gain weight if I didn’t work out , I haven’t been working out and I don’t have cancer , I just went to my doctor and everything checked out fine , So what the fuck is it lol

Unexplained weigh loss is a symptom of many different life-threatening conditions.


Worth seeing a doctor if there are any other symptoms going on.

Yeah. But only after I had mysteriously put on as much weight. Turned out I had developed sleep apnea. And even though I exercised regularly I couldn't shed the extra weight. As soon as I started using a cpap machine they weight came right back off.

no... I always realize

since I either gain or lose mass muscle, rather than fat... it is quite noticeable, not only I will see it but also feel it right away, lol

Yeah more than few times in my life. Whenever I'm stressed like under extreme stress, I start losing weight rapidly even I'm eating well.

It's after few weeks when I wear some clothes that I haven't worn in a while, I notice they are lose... like I can put 3 fingers in my hand and there's still more space or my tops aren't well fitted then I realize I've lost weight or if I go shopping and go to the section of clothes of my size... well, I thought it was my size until I wear them in the trial room.

Yea it definitely crossed my mind if it is stress I am going through cuz things haven’t been the greatest

[Genie23]

I can easily fit fingers in my jeans*

You definitely sound like you've been stressed out. Perhaps talk it out or try working out, meditation and do something you always wanted to try. Any hobby or something to help you take your mind off stuff maybe? I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you , yea this past year definitely took a toll on me , losing my mom and brother shortly after each other , my job has been overwhelming and watching our country going to shit and so much negativity around us , cost of things rising , they are trying to screw me on my home with jacking up school taxes etc , just so much nonsense one thing after another I am being faced with , Girl I really liked is playing games and is miserable herself so it’s like I can’t find any real happiness cuz she is stressed out as well , like does love really exist? I feel so lost in This world to the point I am ready to throw in the towel meaning I am not afraid to die , I am not going to kill myself. But I think my stress is slowly doing that for me , I have gone to the doctors and he put me on an anti depressant which I don’t really feel anything different I took it for 3 months and it did nothing so I stopped taking them , I do t know I just need something amazing to happen
