Is losing too much weight rlly that bad? (1 Viewer)

Yes please stay hydrated (ngl I probably should do the same)

Whenever i get severally dehydrated i just drink salt water and i feel really replenished(water mixed with salt)

Hormones going crazy can definitely cause bigger weight fluctuations and also large volumes of water loss. I'd still talk to a doctor and have some blood tests run.

Not like hormonal periods just like every 3 or 4 weeks that happens i mean

If your dehydrated from sports then salt and LOTs of water make sense. If your just dehydrated the salt may not help. You may just need a healthy amount of water. If your in the US getting way to much salt is sooooooooo easy so I doubt that's the issue unless your an athlete or live in a very hot place. Like a single fast food meal will do it.

that's really horrible
I feel for you my friend - I hope that your parents are doing the best they can since if not that's abuse/neglect
I'm not sure where you are if they are food banks or other similar places your family can access to try to get some more food
are their charities that donate food close by or other assistance your family can access?

We tried getting food stamps but we got denied and its not like she doesnt feed me its just money is tight sometimes so we go shopping for groceries twice a month

The salt water? Or getting dehydrated?

I’m wondering does your school have any breakfast programs or snack bins or something like that? My school had both and I used them.

No there is but they always say that my mom gets paid too much to be approved for it

but previously you said " not really having food to eat " or rather not having ENOUGH food to eat which is terrible
look I understand the struggles of just trying to survive this day and age
even if you can't get food stamps maybe try googling for local charities or food banks in your area to be able to get more food
(I'm down under and I read you were in the US so it might be different over there)
you go to school right? I heard that certain schools in the US offer meals like breakfast and lunch???

Actually salt has a lot of nutrients for hydration!

Online school is still a thing?? I thought everyone transitioned back into person by now

There should be soup kitchens where you can get food. I saw in television that people in the USA collect discount tickets to get free groceries.

Food is one of the basic necessities of humans. I can't be that you don't have enough food in one of the richest countries!

my friend you came here stating you lost 11 pounds and one of the reasons you stated was because you don't get enough food to eat
that's NOT OK
IT IS 100% unacceptable that in this day and age that someone in the US of F***** A has to struggle to put food on the table
I really feel for your situation since in addition to the weight loss (which is already a really big deal) you mentioned a disability? (again no need to tell us what it is that's private to you) but lack of NUTRITIONAL food might also cause other health issues such as not enough vitamins and minerals which can exacerbate your disability
also I can't imagine the stress this is having on you and the rest of your family- constantly worrying about everything...

Like I said earlier - try googling to see if there are charities or other food banks or organizations that help people like your family struggling to get by
