no i eat the same, well sometimes a little bit more, but i tend to drop weight like crazy. a couple of months ago i lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks. it freaked me right out, i went and have a whole bunch of blood work and stuff done. it showed nothing and my doc, who is excellent, is at a loss for why i dropped so quickly, so i have a few things i have to do when i get really stressed. i get really bad heartburn too, only when i'm supper stressed and the event is over.?? who knows. but i feel like a freak anyway.
