I never thought it would happen / myLot

All my life I've loved to eat. Until now. There is a photo I can't upload right now of me as a very fat baby girl. and when I was 4 and 5 in between big country family meals I used to go in my aunts garden and pull carrots out of the ground and munch them and behind her stairs she would have dried apples in big burlap sacks I would sneak and eat

I liked nearly every kind of food. Later when I was doing dishes, I would eat fried chicken scraps and such from the pan it was fried in. etc. At 11 yrs., I weighed 127 lbs. 5'2 ", mom kept threatening to put me on a diet. I'm 74 now and been having indigestion and trouble gaining weight since I was 70 yrs. Dr. said I was anemic Monday when he saw me. I've been taking vitamins and everything but to no avail. I always used to hear about people with loss of appetite but could not believe it. Now I know and wish it hadn't happened.

I guess it's not too bad a thing when I hear people can hardly afford to eat these days. I eat good when they fix a nice hot full meal here but that's not often. Just saying.

then I suffer for it. I guess I don't have a question. Maybe just a few suggestions on indigestion.

thanks for reading friends.

Pretty and I both love to eat, too, and with staying home because of the pandemic, it's really starting to show... I've gained about 30 lbs this last year.

good for you. I guess the only thing you can do is run around your room and do sit ups

@DaddyEvil Funny thing. Same here. I have nearly everything on other half of my bed.

@bunnybon7 No running around in my room. I have a queen sized bed and this bedroom is small. I have a walkway around my bed about two feet wide. I have to walk slowly or fall onto the bed when I go around the end of it.

My laptop(s), tablet(s) and phone take up one half of the bed and I get the other half.

I'm sorry. My doctor put me on a new medication that made me gain weight. I wish I had less of an appetite but not the way you have to feel. That can't be good for you.

I used to feel the same. Always wish I could loose weight. But now as they say, "be careful what you wish for" is how I feel now
