Issues with small appetite and maintaining weight
Post Body

Wasn't sure where else I could post this... I know from other posts appetite issues happen with lupus/meds, and im on 200mg of hcq.

I'm not convinced it's lupus for my case but, lack of spoons for cooking etc doesnt help either.... I like food and I try to eat balanced, but I can't seem to eat much at once. And I can go a while without feeling hungry, or I'm hungry but distracted/busy/experiencing executive dysfunction. Or having swallowing issues.

I also workout and want to build some muscle which requires more food...but eatting sometimes to feels like a chore and I hate doing it just because I know I need to, I worry force feeding myself like that too much is just gunna make me dislike food/eatting even worse.

Being at a lower weight i think is making me feel weaker and a little dizzy at times too. My hyperchondriac side worries there could be some sort of infection or cancer or something crazy that's causing me to lose weight even when eating....

But I know sometimes I just need to eat more, and I should put in the effort to do so before I go to the dr's in a panic....and start adding a couple other things like oats to my post workout shake to add in calories.

...currently around 110-112# at 5'2. Ideally I'd stay between 115-120 or so. Not the first time I've had to do this, which makes it that much more frustrating
