“If they are sick, losing weight; if they miss out, starving.”
Meaning
This proverb illustrates a compounding of misfortunes or a downward spiral. It suggests that if one is already in a weakened or difficult state (sick and losing weight), further deprivation or lack (missing out on food/opportunity) will lead to even more severe consequences (starving). It speaks to the accumulation of problems.
