I have had a lot of anxiety during that time, and I've read bad anxiety can make you lose weight. The "atomic butterfly" feeling really does feel like you must be burning calories just to generate that terrible feeling. But since my anxiety is apparently "health anxiety", I guess it's a vicious cycle. I weigh myself 15 times a day. Going to the doctor tomorrow.
