You're right, Carol. I did *not* intend for it to sound that way. I'm
simply a small person. Around September of 2014 I weighed about 130
lbs. By the end of November that year I'd lost nearly 20 lbs. It was
NOT intentional and the weight loss was pretty darn quick. That was
before I was correctly diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and prescribed
medication. My friends and neighbors were saying, "Are you still losing
weight?" (with a sort of OMG!) inflection in their voices. They were
*not* saying, "Oh, you look great!" They were alarmed. So was I.
