Has anybody experienced weight loss or weight gain during a painful loss of a relative?

[Anonymous]

Since my mother passed away last year, I’ve lost so much weight because I had no appetite or ate little. I went from 206lbs to 140lbs. I’m 5’10” and I’m not even lying. My family is showing concern that I’m not eaten and I’m too skinny, need to get help. I only eat salads and water. I do fast. My family has been ragging on me for being too thin and I need to gain some weight back, plus I’m pear shaped and I was told that pear shaped women look better thicker than slim. I was working on weight loss before my mom died but I admit I took it too far but I don’t wanna be thick anymore. What do I do?

Oh sis, I'm so sorry about your mom - that's just heartbreaking. Of course you're still grieving and struggling, it's only been a year. Don't be so hard on yourself, give yourself time to heal.

It makes total sense that you lost your appetite... grief does crazy things to our bodies. But I understand why your family is worried too - 66 lbs is a lot. Maybe try baby steps to start caring for yourself again. Like smoothies or soups you can sip on, or small snacks throughout the day. Nothing major, just little by little.

And don't worry about "being thick" or any of that - just focus on getting healthy and strong. Do what feels right for YOU, not what anyone else says is "better." Talk to your doctor too if you're still struggling to eat. There might be other support like counseling that could help.

You're allowed to feel whatever you feel. Take all the time you need. We just care about you, sis. Let us help however we can, yeah? You've got this - one day at a time. We're here for you always.
