How have I lost so much weight?

[kittehismeow]

I haven't started hormones yet or anything, and I've gone from around 280 lbs in November to now at about 205, I haven't even been dieting or anything either! But I'm wanting to get down to about 175 or so before I really start hormones. I'm 5 foot 10 inches. I hope to be able to get down to around 150 or so eventually, but it will be a while before I can get there.

If you figure out how, please share with the rest of us! ?

I wish i knew how i managed to lose so much so easily, other than being unable to pay for as much food, that might be how. Oh speaking of that! Is it allowed to have a gofundme link somewhere, to help with paying for like bills n stuff? If it is allowed i wouldnt even know where to put it anyway ?

Lmao. Yeah. It took me a year of very hard work and strict diet to lose weight like that. I’d be at the doctors if I were you. That’s an insane amount of weight to lose without trying. Maybe you have a tapeworm.

Such negativity, I just haven't eaten nearly as much because my family can't afford much at all, only brought in a total of about $8k this past year. Sooo yeah, barely making it through each day.

You might still want to go to the doctor.  Cause to lose that much still is very insane.  The last time I lost that much weight in that short of a time and was not eating cause I was not feeling hungry, is when I found out that I had cancer.

Yeah seriously. I looked it up when you posted this and to lose that much weight in that short a span is not healthy. It won’t hurt to have it checked out.

But you posted a thread that is asking how you lost this much weight without trying. I assume the simple answers have been looked into like not eating enough. That’s a simple answer if it’s the case. I don’t see why you’d ask if you thought that was the case. Idk. 

I grew up very poor. There were plenty of days we had no food, no electricity, no hot water etc... I know how hard that can be. I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. There’s nothing worse than starving and still have to go to school and beg the lunch lady for food with no money. Eating peanut butter and government cheese for weeks straight. It’s a hard way to live. 

I hope you’re okay. But if you really were asking, go get checked out. It could be anything. And it could be really bad. Or it’s nothing. Won’t know till you go though.

I have been feeling hungry when i normally do, but not having food to eat, and the school lunches here taste like cardboard with extra crunch. I'm also about to get kicked out because I can't find a job, at least that's what my mom is saying. Other than that I guess that I'm okay? Still am a bit curious if its okay to put a gofundme link somewhere?
