[ Diet & Fitness ] Open Question : Why the Hell do I keep struggling with my weight despite eating healthy?
I feel so frustrated right now, need to vent. I feel like I’m extremely susceptible to weight gain no matter what I do, I’m 22 (nearly 23) 5’7.5 and since the age of 12 I’ve been battling my weight to no end, by the time I was thirteen I had reached my full height potential and weighed 151 pounds (a whopping 50 more than my peers) and all I my diet consisted of was low fat oatmeal for breakfast with fruit, a salad for lunch and a fist sized portion of salmon and a bit of yam and kale for supper roughly every night and stayed clear away from junk food – but despite all of that I was still slightly overweight. By the time I was fourteen my weight skyrocketed up to 180 pounds (0n barely a 1700 calories diet) I then had to resort to a liquid fast (nothing but ensure and other liquid meal replacements) which got my weight down to 130 over a six month period, I was able to maintain this weight for roughly a month until I incorporated solid foods again and my weight went up to 150 in less than three weeks, I was devastated. Through the years after that I went through the gamut of high protein diets, veganism, endless work outs at the gym and laxative abuse but still couldn’t see results – my weight would barely budge and my body seemed totally resistant to weight loss for some bizarre reason. I have been on nutrisystem for the last three years and do cardio daily but my weight still hovers around 155-160 pounds and I feel like I have little to no control of where my weight ends up from week to week, I feel like I would be over 200 if I ate like a normal person and didn’t pay fastidious attention to calories. It’s almost hopeless, What is wrong with me! my thyroid is normal and I’ve been tested for PCOS 100 times (each time negative) – why can’t I be thin.
