My spouse is concerned about my losing some weight in the last few months
(down to a morning weight of 96-97 recently, with a 5'6" small-boned
body), and while I fiddle with my diet, I would appreciate some help in
giving him perspective.  He looks at my arms and says he thinks I may be
getting down to a weight that might endanger some vital organs (he says
he thinks about kidney damage or electrolyte imbalance, while I'm more
worried about long-term bone loss).  It's to the point where, while I
have an appointment with my GI in three weeks, he suggested calling his
office to see if they can move my appointment up.  I think I have a
weight problem but not a medical emergency, and thus far, he says he
isn't worried about my driving our kids around.

Any ideas?
