I'm hoping that after this appointment my stress will ease and I'll regain my appetite. I'm sure I've been taking in under 1,000 calories per day, for the past few months.. It will be interesting to see what the scale shows, this afternoon.

This is nothing new. I get stressed, I lose my appetite. One time I lost almost 30 lbs.

Hopefully it will really end after November 5. Otherwise I'll be stocking up on Ensure.
