Hi Kathie, You poor thing! Lots of Chicken Soup for you! lol I know exactly what you're talking about with the weight thing. I recently was on alot of medication that suppressed my appetite I got down to 114 lbs. My whole family was giving me a hard time about it and said I looked like a stick with boobs! My friend even said "that's the first time I've ever seen Amy with small boobs!" (I usually wear a 34 DD bra) I got down to a 32 D (it made me happy!) My normal weight should be about the same as yours. I'm 5'4" tall with a large chest so when I loose weight it is really noticable. It is hard to eat when you don't feel good and when the meds make it difficult as well. I do eat but not really healthy. I have a tremendous sweet tooth. I eat things like ice cream, cereal, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - stuff like that. That probably explains why I can't get my 2 year old to eat healthy either! :) I hope you get to feeling better soon, take care of yourself love, you're really all you've got! You have all of us too! You can mail me privately to if you want to!! I am a great listener! (as well as talker in case you haven't noticed!) Looking forward to hearing from you (when you feel better) Your friend and fellow sympathizer! A.
