I am going through some weight issues right now too. I have been way underweight (about 10 lbs) for the last 6 months. Initially I was in the hospital with IV nutrition when I couldn't eat at all. Lately, my nutrition has been ok but I have been ending up dehydrated & in the ER with IV saline & potassium. After the last ER visit, I have noticed that I am retaining fluids & have gained almost 8 lbs in the last week. I really haven't started eating that much more & am working out daily with my dressage horse training. I haven't been out in the heat of the day lately so haven't been getting as dehydrated as I had been.....but I hate the weight. I hate to admit that I really want to loose most of what I have gained even though I am now at a more healthy weight but there is part of my mind that is rejecting where I am at right now. For a while, I could almost eat anything & not gain an ounce.....now.....I can't get even a pound to come off. For some reason when I weighed this much before it seemed thin, but now in comparison to what I was, I feel like I am totally bloated.

It is frustrating to not be able to loose the weight we want to loose. And to top it off, I thought my periods were over for good....but noooooo such luck....just adds to my desire to get the weight off again. I don't feel any better physically than I did when I weighed less so that isn't even a good reason for me to not loose the weight.

I hope you can find a way to lose those pounds you want to loose without having to resort to desparate means.
