[quote=Anonymous]I lost almost 10 pounds during the blizzard (and the week leading up to the blizzard).  It was a combination of extreme stress (not blizzard related--when I am stressed my appetite disappears), only drinking water during the blizzard (I forgot to get my usual juice--I'm a huge juice drinker--lemonade, grape, etc.), eating no treats during the blizzard (forgot to get treats), and generally not eating much during the blizzard.

I used to weigh 146 and now I weigh 137.  I'm 5'5''.  Anyhow, as a result of this weight loss, people keep telling me that I look exhausted, haggard, too thin, and old.  It's true, I lost a lot of weight in my face and I do think I look older and more haggard (wrinkle lines are more apparent now, underneath my eyes looks more hollow).  However, my lower body looks a lot better.  All of my clothes are hanging off me as a result of this weight loss.  I'm 40.

Should I gain some or all of it back?  I wasn't trying to lose the weight, it just happened.[/quote]
