[lynnc]

keep a daily food journal... at the end of every week, go back and add up the amount of calories you have eaten each day. Look up your caloric requirements for your age, height and weight and see what needs improving... this will help you realize whast going on. Also, are you on any medication that causes weight loss or loss of apatite like adderall?
