Anyone know why weight loss would cause anxiety?

JT asked:


Whenever I lose just a couple of pounds it brings on considerable anxiety. Keep in mind that I do need to lose the weight and I experience the anxiety BEFORE I realize I’ve had any weight loss. Anyone know what might be the reason for this? I am sure it is not psychological. Thanks.
I am not taking any meds or diet drugs/supplements. I am just cutting down on carbs and cutting out fat.
The anxiety is pretty severe.
I use very little sugar to begin with.

kg asked:


My doctor thinks that I am suffering from some sort of malabsorption problem, as in food is moving through my system too quickly. I haven’t lost any weight though. Sorry for the TMI but the malabsorption makes sense when you consider my bowel movements, but the absense of weight loss is kind of perplexing to me. Does this ever happen?

MDMV asked:


I eat alot. I used to keep at a steady weight. But I eat the same amount of food or more and I keep on losing more weight by the week. It is scaring me because I’m getting to 100 and I used to keep a steady weight about 120-25? Can any help me answer if there is a medical condition that leads to this weight loss?
