Hi everyone. Happy Advent!

Yesterday was an extremely busy day for me. Between everything I had to do, I just kept going from task to task, barely taking the time to eat breakfast.

By the time evening arrived, I found that I had only eaten about 600 calories worth... But the weird thing was that I was not hungry. In five minute snatches of time, I had been munching on pieces of fruit and veggies and drinking water all day long. I knew that I would have to put some food into my system (at least another 600 calories) later.

At this point, I felt very hyperactive (fidgety, moving fast, high energy). So I got dressed, grabbed a bottled water and walked the twenty minutes to Church. After Mass, I walked back home and went back to working on Christmas preparations (getting ornament boxes out, starting to set up for stringing the lights, etc.) before I remembered that I had to eat some more today.

Still, no appetite. Okay. I forced myself to eat a couple of pieces of bread and some tuna and cheese and went back to what I was doing. Total calories for the day was 1200 and I had to force myself to eat it.

This morning, I woke up in the same state. High energy. Fast moving. Almost "buzzing" in my own skin. I weighed myself and I was down to 157.6 (almost two pounds in one day???!!!).

I ate breakfast, but I was not all that hungry... I went through my morning routine in double time (usually I am a bit slow) and got out the door to go to work about ten minutes earlier than usual.

I'm a little worried about the almost two pounds in one day, combined with the fact that I have no appetite and am experiencing this surge of energy (without caffeine... I quit caffeine about the time I started with calorie-count.com).

Should I be worried?
