I'm having weight problems at the moment. Not because I'm getting married and feel the need to lose weight for that tho.
When I was about 16, I stopped eating due to my emetophobia. I reasoned that if I ate, I was more likely to be sick than if I didn't. As a result, my body went into famine mode and started to eat itself or however it works (can't remember what the doc said ten years ago!!) Anyway after I started eating again, I would eat child size portions and not a lot really. My weight stuck between 7st 5 and 7st 7 (I'm 5ft 2) My BMI said I was borderline underweight. (18.5ish)
In april last year, I was forced out of my job and was unemployed for 7 months. Over those 7 months, I slowly started putting on weight and now I weigh between 9st 3 and 9st 6. My BMI is now 23.4 and I'm on the heavier side of Healthy.
I know this doesn't seem like something to worry about, but when you've always been slim and then suddenly all your clothes are too small (esp your fav skinny jeans) it gets a bit upsetting. I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror. The only thing that did please be was my once 32B boobs are now a 32DD but even those are starting to look monstorous!! I have fat rolls where I never used to and I can't cross my legs properly either anymore. I guess cos I'm short, the chubby bits don't sit in proportion.
I would be happy to lose just half a stone, no more really. Me and my boyfriend are trying to eat heathily, and have smaller portions but I'm not really seeing much difference. I've started doing aerobics classes which I enjoy, but they are knackering tbh.
I just wanted to moan really. Everyone I moan to tells me they prefer me the way I am now as opposed to skinny, but I hate that it's noticable (I've had the 'you look well' comments, well fed you mean!!)
I know I'm not overweight etc, but I feel like I look overweight and it gets me down most days
