I have had no personal experience with the eating disorder you describe but I have watched a friend who was also treated for breast cancer go through what you are describing. She wouldn't take dexamethasone to prevent the nausea of chemotherapy because she was frightened of weight gain. She lost weight (while most of us gain a few kilograms) but it was muscle mass because she felt so lousy she couldn't keep up her exercise regime.
My only advice is to keep up your protein intake and lessen the sugars. More fruit and vegetables and a lot of fluids. In other words, healthy eating. Take healthy snacks to work so you are not tempted!
Kathy has some great inobtrusive ways to increase your activity level to make up for the driving to work. Thanks Kathy, I'll try to use some of them!
Good luck with your weight control allicat
