While my doc was happy with the number he was very unhappy in that I lost that over the last 28 days. According to him it was too high a percentage of my body weight to drop in such a short amount of time.

We had a very long talk about my not eating, my history of eating disorders and everything that's been going on in my life. He actually called me anorexic and I nearly fell off my chair! I pointed out to him that I was neither cadaverous nor skeletal. He reminded me that it didn't matter, that my hair is starting to fall out and my nails have nearly stopped growing and, based on that and my history, I should know what he meant. Sadly I do and really hated to admit that to him...sometimes denial is a very comfy place.

After additional discussion we came up with a "plan" that we can both live with. I'm determined to win this battle. Wish me luck...

Good luck!!! Attacking it head on is the best way to ensure your success.

dee, I'm the same way in that nighttime eating is off the charts. I can usually monitor things and keep them to an acceptable level during the day with being busy at work and running errands, etc but at night is when it becomes a true battle of willpower to eat or not eat and what to eat and when to stop.
