Strange weight loss. How could this happen?

Question from BloodyMerry
Hi, I have may be a strange question. I have always had problems with excessive weight. When I was 14 I decided on some self-made diet, based on restriction, not something special actually. For three months I lost 12-13 kilos. Great. I was happy of course. But my menstruation stopped too. Well, I didn’t care about it at all as long as I looked great. So far so good, but after half an year without the “natural” cycle, my mother took me to a doctor. As far as I remember they said the “walls”(or something connected to the lipids) of my uterus had got very thin. (I’m sorry if I don’t get the right terms, English is not my native language). However, I had to take some hormonal pills. For some period nothing happened, but later, I started gaining weight- slowly but surely. It was driving me crazy. I was trying to eat as little as possible, started counting calories, I got crazy, almost literally. No one had told me that pills could be the reason ruining all I had achieved with so much effort. Exhausting exercises, hours every day, nothing helped. With these work outs I may have even actually put on more muscle mass-I have always liked activity, and I have always been stronger and more muscular than my peers- but the kiols didn’t worry me as long as I looked good. But I didn’t. Little food, much activity and yet-weight gaining. A year or two of resultless struggle and I gave up. I stopped caring, actually. I think I even had some eating disorders before. Not easy to admit, though. Time passed, I had bsolutely succeeded to overcome the teenage problems and stopped worrying about food. Somehow then, I decided to become vegetarian. It was not about weight loss. The reason is irrelevant here. Today, I have been a vegetarian for 4 years. And since about a year or so, I’m noticing that I am loosing weight somehow. Again-slowly but surely. I am happy this is happening, I look in a way I want to, but I really wonder what is the reason. It’s not my becoming a vegetrian since when I was such for about 2 years, I still was overweight, but it is happening now. I have never been a fan of sweets, so cutting down on sweets can’t be a reason either. I have always been active in the sense, I always do something, go somewhere (on foot) or have something more active, I like “sweating” feeling energetic. So I don’t do more sports or exercise or anything different. I study and work and I sometimes don’t have time for a proper meal, but when I do I eat as much as I want. True, I feel I don’t do as much as before. But I also don’t feel the need to. I don’t feel hungry so much. It looks strange to me, although I’m happy about that. I even reached to the absurd idea the effect of those hormonal pills had faded away, lol. Also, this weight loss (to be precise, about 10 kilos in an year) I felt more surely after two awful, PAINFUL nights with accute pain in the stomach, in period over a month. After the second such I went to the doctor’s and I was told this was caused by stress. I was asked if I studied much and so on. After this case, actually, I realised I had started to not feel such a great hunger like before. As if my stomach had become “smaller” and I felt stuffed much earlier than I used to before. Another weight loss (little but sure) I noticed after my first blood donation last year (pre-last, lol, 2007).
It looks strange to me. I like it of course;)

Any ideas for any rational explanations?
