I have been more irritable and aggressive since losing weight. Yesterday I yelled a lot at my mother and today at my brothers and father. I am eating like 1000-1200 calories per day. I lost more than 23lb. Does losing weight makes you aggressive and irritable? Everytime I try to fix the damage that sz and meds do I break something new. There is no way out of this and no way to improve my health.
I know that low blood sugar causes aggressivity in me because I am more irritable when hungry.

Maybe I went down too fast from eating 3500-4000 calories per day to 1000–1200? Will the aggressivity disappear with time?
I feel like you should def eat more than 1000 to 1200 calories a day…

I don’t know a ton about calorie intake but I do know that 1000-1200 is very low. You’re probably angry because you’re not getting enough food. When I don’t eat enough I get in a bad mood really fast. I too have been losing weight. I try to keep my calories down to 1500-1600. It’s not always easy but it is working and my moods are usually fine. I do give myself a break now and then and eat a more.

I will try to eat a bit more, like 1500 calories. Also I think its bcz I am not eating enough carbs. My diet is mostly protein.

I haven’t really found that to be the case for me.
I’ve lost about 20. Good job on 23!
I’m at a plateau as far as weight loss. I think I need to eat more calories too.

Weight loss, dieting can make me sad at times. That’s how it affects me. Like on the verge of despair but not actual despair, usually.
