I am sooo frustrated!!! Over the past year I've lost nearly 50 pounds and now suddenly over the past month my weight loss has come to a stop. Not only has it stopped I've started to gain weight slightly. Yes its only a few pounds but I'm really starting to get frustrated.
I eat a small amount of food during the day- if I were to eat less I'm convinced that I would be hungry all the time. I run or at least walk every day. Today I ran 3 miles and according to my tredmill burned 550 calories, yet I gained weight. I just don't understand. I've cut out pop for the week thinking that less sodium might be the ticket to losing more weight but that doesn't seem to make a difference at all.
I'm starting to think that it might be my birth control that is stunting my weight loss but that confuses me because it hasn't interfered prior to this. I'm really starting to worry that something is wrong with me. I'm not sure what would be causing the weight gain but it's so frustrating. So for the next week I'm going to eat even less then what I've been eating and do my best to work out for over an hour everyday. Hopefully I can figure this out because if I don't figure it out soon I could go insane.
Not only could I go insane but I might start crying. I have worked so hard and I've changed my diet so much that it's not fair that all the sudden things are being reversed on me. Its like it wasn't even worth the last year of hard work because now my body is decided that it just wants to gain all the weight back.
i hate my life.
this sounds crazy, but a lot of the time your body is reacting to season change. I think that biologically our bodies want to hibernate and store food for the winter (so as not to starve), but being as we're a little past cave-people stage, we don't need it. I always gain weight during the winter. You're doing a great job Ellie! I doubt it has to do with you not working hard enough. I'm also positive that a lot of people are really proud of you, and proud of your willpower. I sure as hell don't have it!
