I had been underweight my entire life, eating whatever I wanted. When I was 26 I put on 12 lbs in 9 months after my IUD was in. I’ve had weight fluctuations since but overall, I’ve put on 18 lbs in the last 3.5 years and I’m always hungry. I’m still a normal weight but have remained the same weight despite my best efforts over the past 8 months.
I eat next to nothing. I have been trying so hard and I’m so dejected.
I went from ordering extra sour cream on chipotle and soda everyday and weighing 108lbs to eating 800-1200 calories a day and famished all the time, trying to feel full on sparkling water, and still almost 20 lbs fatter. I rarely exceed 1700 calories on weekly cheat days. I can’t lose weight. I started going to the gym and I’m definitely not the most athletic person but I lift weights and do cardio.
I can do more, I know it’s possible to work out harder or eat healthier but it’s hard to motivate myself to make those changes when I feel like I’m already so miserable with the changes I’ve made and not seeing any results.
Is there any common mistake that I might be making?
I’m doing the 16:8 mostly because it’s easier to limit my calories and I feel like most ebreakfast options are calorie or carb heavy. I’m trying to do weight lifting at the gym because I’m trying to build muscle to boost my metabolism so I can eat more.
Any advice?
TL;DR: drastically changed diet and exercise and seeing zero change in 8 months.
I am currently 5’5” and 126lbs, I would like to be closer to 110 lbs which is not too thin for my frame. Thank you for your help! :)
