How to weigh 118 pounds on a diet of H.a.ag.en D.azs Part 1

Sometime in early Spring, I was pulling on a pair of size 4 jeans, and they were huge. I thought to myself that my diet of ice cream in addition to nursing my 9 month old must really be paying off. My husband was convinced that my body just somehow "knew" to go back to my weight in my 20's. Oh, if only it were that easy. I gotta say, I was rationalizing this sudden weight loss with every excuse in the book...I'm nursing...not sleeping...don't have time to sit down and have a meal...But when the weight kept falling off with absolutely no effort on my part, it was starting to be a little concerning. To top it all off, I had family, friends and complete strangers saying things to me like...you are way to skinny. Why are you so anxious? You're shaking. Why does your hair look oily? Skin breaking out? What's with the sweating? I wrote it all of to anxiety and finally agreed to go see a doctor. Maybe a little Z.ol.oft would help. I mean, come on, I've been a stay at home Mom now for four and a half years. It's got to be stress. Right?
