Paranoid about gaining weight..


Quote  |  Reply

ughh so im 125 pounds 5'3..light activity( i go to the gym about 4 days a week for an hour..on ellipitcal and tredmill usuaally )

i was consuming 1200 calories to lose weight (this is what the tools say) which worked i lost 30 pounds over like 6-7 months.. but like past 1-2 months ive been mainttaining( my goal is 120).

so ive upped my caloires to about 1300-1500 ish to try to break the plateau. but i dont know i feel fat and full. and sometimes when i weigh myself its 130. what the hell is going on?

any advice?

today ive had 1100 calories. and i want to have a 100 calorie bag of kettle corn and maybe an apple  but i honestly feel soooo stuffed. cuz i was sick today and my boyfriend brought me lunch from his college(chicken salad on a croissant)..no added mayo and it was dry. but still thats gotta be like 600 calories alone. sooo idk ive been eating every few hours since to burn it off by rasising the metabolism. i realy dont wana gain cuz the littlest bit makes me look chunky. and i feel it lately :(

Just stick with it, sometimes when you have a small amount to lose those are the hardest.  Is it possible you are at a healthy weight already?  Don't be too hard on yourself. 

I don't think you should eat if you are stuffed, I don't think that will raise your metabolism.
i dont eat til im stuffed but i just always feeeel fat. like its something i always do. i have some skinny feeling days but usually i look in the mirror and think im overweight. and i really wana lose some of the fat on my body. i dont even care if the scale goes down as much as i'd rather have a smaller waist and thighs.

Have you been trying different exercises at the gym or do you do pretty much the same thing all the time?  Maybe you need to change up your routine a little.
I'm so in the same place as you it's not even funny (we even have the same stats)... I'd offer advice, but truth be told, I don't even know if what I'm doing right now is gonna work or not. I'm trying to up my calories (only been at it for a week though and not really seeing progress) and work w/ weights a bit more so if I do gain, it'll just be muscle.. good luck!!
