The doctor from Thailand told me that my weight was due to lipedema/lymphedema. I understand that because I am not an over eater, much of the time I have one sandwich for the entire day of food. When I really put my mind to it, I was walking the trail up to several times during the week at a round trip of 6 miles and eating small amounts of food to where I was nearly at the stage of passing out all of the time. I lost a total of 40 lbs in 2 months, but all of the absurd attacks put me into a state of being a recluse and I probably allowed myself to deteriorate from the shock and sadness.
