I’m 30 years old (F), 5’3 and I fluctuate between 165-170 lbs. About 10 years ago, I was so determined to lose weight. I was 150 lbs and was able to get all the way down to 108 lbs through a lot of hard work, diet and exercise. I loved how I felt at that weight and I was so proud of my accomplishment. Though I do feel like I tend to glamorize that time in my life. I definitely was unhealthy and obsessive about my weight and would hold back from doing things I enjoy just because I didn’t want to eat and drink and be at risk for gaining any weight whatsoever. Then I became 22, and I entered the workforce for the first time. I had a very stressful career in NYC and before I knew it, I gained all the weight back. And here I am today at 165-170 lbs. While stress was a factor in my weight gain, I also met the man of my dreams (who I’m now married to), who introduced me to some of the best restaurants in NYC. We love to go out and explore diff restaurants and cuisines. Frankly, I love food, and I realized that I’m happier than I’ve ever been. The issue is I realize that I can’t maintain these type of habits and need to really try to get to a good weight...especially since my husband and I are at the stage where we want children and I want a healthy pregnancy. Does anyone else just love food and just can’t get motivated? How do you find balance? In some ways, even though I’m heavier, I’m a lot healthier mentally and emotionally. Please share your advice and experiences.
