Ugh!
For the longest time I was able to keep my weight down to 153 (over two years). Even though I'm just 5'2", 150 seemed a weight my body was happiest at, so that was my goal. Over the summer I have ballooned back up to 166 (this morning's weigh-in).
Granted, my eating has not been super clean, but it seems like my metabolism has down-shifted once again. As if I needed any more help for my turtle-metabolism in the first place! Yikes!
If I eat too much, I gain (obviously). If I try limiting myself, my body goes into hibernation, grabbing onto every last calorie. The thought of yet again counting points, etc. is just devastating. I could cry. When when when will my body (or me, actually) be at peace with food, when I can just eat and be finished, eat a cookie and stop at one, not feel deprived and frustrated?
I am so tired of walking down the same road over and over!
UGH!
Thanks in advance for any butt kicking sent my way.
P.S. My workouts have been fairly consistent for the most part - 5-6 times a week - Cathe, some KB stuff, long hikes/walks on the trails near my house (3-5 miles), weights, etc.
I'm going to be 41 this year. I am not menopausal anymore (no more chemo or drugs, etc.). I am not pre-menopausal - my oncologist checked my hormone levels during my last visit.
Thanks!
