S-word. 66 days. I am sick of this.

I can't seem to eat enough, either! I always seem to have a deficit, even though I'm eating more than I used to. Well, I could get enough calories if I just ate things that were really high-fat and bad for me, but I can't seem to get enough halthy calories, in a good protein/carb/fat ratio. I'm also afraid the hematologist is going to tell me that it's vegetarianism that's causing this stuff and I'll have to start eating meat again. Eep.

I am hungry and tired and can't think of anything good to eat so, although I -still- have a deficit today because I ran for 25 mins. Oy vey. Dishes then bed.

I'm actually in sort of the same boat as you are. I reached my goal weight/size (still have some toning to do -- boo for flab), so I've been working on the maintenance thing. It seems the only way I can get enough calories is either not exercising (yeah, right) or eating bad food. *sigh* And, like you, I haven't had my period in awhile. Since April. I'm not too worried about it (heck, most of the time I'm enjoying its absence!), but I have made plans to see a nutritionist. Hopefully everything works out for you and there's nothing wrong.

Anyway, hope you don't mind me commenting on your journal, but I read the post you made mentioning this.
