weight loss ,kind of scaring me

So i posted before that i had started celexa, and was hopeful that it would help, i seen to myself to be coming a bit out of this fog of anxiety and depression, the only thing is this,since starting this med i have lost weight,ok no big deal its a side effect, except lately i have been obsessed with this side effect, i wake up check the scale, every time I'm hungry i don't eat , i literally see the number in the scale in my head and think,no one piece of food and it'll jump right back up.i feel like I've gained such a sense of control over my life,except my life is only positive because of numbers on a scale. I started at 190 I'm down to 179 so by no means am i skinny, but i feel like i may have just jumped from the drying san to the fire so to speak because I'm not dealing with my depression I'm dealing with my weight, I've never had theses thoughts about weight before and i know its prob not healthy, i just don't know what to do, i finally want to wake up in the morning. I don't want to lose that! Any suggestions would be helpful i just felt it would be healthy to at least share

I'm going through the same kind of thing so I know what you're talking about it by saying it's kind of scary. My weight loss (and depression) both started because of a medical condition I have in my mouth and in September I had a major surgery to remove a large portion of bone in my upper jaw as well as all of the teeth on that side. Naturally I couldn't eat as much and I stopped having much of an appetite. My appetite has never really returned but now when I do feel hungry I don't even want to eat. Like you said, my life has felt like it's been in turmoil since these medical problems started almost 3 years ago and this is the one thing I feel like I finally have control over. People have recently been telling me how much weight they've noticed me losing and I never noticed it until tonight. I walked into the washroom and looked at myself in the mirror and I felt like I was looking at a different person. I don't know what to do though, now I;m beginning to not want to eat anymore.

I too started losing my weight due to a lot of family stress and my body became weak. I had been also worrying a lot at that time but I tried to maintain a healthy diet and that helped me a lot in maintaining an optimum body weight.
