I began eating healthier and exercising in January. It's now March. I am still my fat 220 lb self. I have an app on my Kindle, too. The one where you document your calorie intake and exercise. Ya, that's a motivator! I input my daily stuff and it says, "In 5 weeks, you'll weigh....." It's been more than 5 weeks and I am still 220 pounds, where I began this pitiful journey.
I am taking in roughly 1200 calories a day, which is what this little electronic device told me to do. I even consulted my physician. She said it's a WONDERFUL idea! So, if this is so 'peachy', why do I still feel fat and haven't lost a pound?
Well, going back to my original though, it's because food makes us fat. Sitting on a couch doesn't make you fat, food does. So, I guess if I don't want to be fat (size 16), I just need to stop eating so much food.
I am 35 years old. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 30. My body just doesn't need all those calories and fat. I'm not the young, vital, teenager I use to be. I lost my metabolism somewhere around age 31. It probably got tired of my whining and complaining, packed it's bags and vacated the premises! Well, if that's the case, it could have at least taken more baggage with it.
So, I'm at a stump trying to figure out what to do next. 1200 calories is not really a lot of good. That's an extra value meal at McDonald's you know. So that would be my only meal (if I ate fast food, which I don't). *sigh*
Perhaps if I cut back to 900 calories a day. I will try it and see of that helps at all.
