You guys, thank you, but I assure you I am taking in enough calories. I could do well with NO calories! In fact, when I had my metabolism test done, the doctor looked at me in disbelief and said, "How'd you do that?" It registered NO metabolism! He shared the results with his colleagues, then said to me, "You'd do very well in a concentration camp!" He was being funny, but seriously told me that my body does not need calories AT ALL, and that I will always have a weight problem the rest of my life, no matter how much I exercise.
Not encouraging news, and especially at my age. All I can do is keep exercising, keep having little tiny meals, and listening to my doctor lecturing me each visit: "Calories in, calories out!" Groan.
Once I lost weight on Phen-Phen. In fact, I did quite well on it. I never ate -- I was never hungry -- but I lost 20 pounds, and my doctor was delighted. Then I discovered what disastrous stuff that Phen-Phen was, stopped taking it, and gained all the weight back -- and more!
No, I'm taking in PLENTY of calories. Frankly, although I want to lose the weight, right now my concern is getting my IBS under some form of control -- and that's what I told my doctor when he said, "you can gain weight on celery," and I said, "not me! I can't eat the stuff!" He was not amused. He said he'd never seen anyone with IBS as bad as mine. (I just figure he mustn't have very many cases then!)
Thanks guys for your concern.
