My Mum is 48 years old, 5ft 3lbs and she keeps losing weight and she is really skinny and size 8 trousers are to big. A couple of days ago she wore a strappy top and 3 quarter leg trousers and all u saw is bones. All the family are worried about her but she's not listening. She tells me she doesn't feel hungry, that's why she doesn't eat but she eats maybe 1 meal and it's not even got any meat or fish. Usually it's just some maccaroni and cheese or a pizza. On a Sunday though she does have chicken and potatoes but even my brother says that my 2 year old daughter has a bigger plate full.

Hello, Sharon! How is your mom doing?

She really needs to see a doctor to see what's causing her lack of appetite. It might be due to a medical problem that needs treatment.

Does she have any health conditions that you know of? Is she on any medications?
