Please bear with me, because I’m sure this is going to sound so silly.
I am 20F, 5” 2.5’, and started at 138lbs. Weight has always been a very touchy subject for me, and right now I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and hating myself. I started nearly a week ago eating around 1300 calories a day (recommended by my fitness pal) and paying attention to what those calories are — no junk, trying to get as much protein as I can as a vegetarian, etc. I also am drinking upwards of 75oz of water a day. I’ve also been working out a couple times a week and planning on increasing that. I’ve also been fasting 16:8.
I started at 138, and stepped on the scale today and weighed 140. Now, I don’t know anything about weight fluctuation or water weight or how it works, so I’m sure this question is kind of stupid. But, given how strict I’ve been and plan to continue being with myself, seeing the number go up hurt. Is this totally normal? Am I possibly doing something wrong, or not even eating enough calories (to note, I’ve also been feeling very consistently dizzy, but I’m not hungry and don’t feel tired or anything else out of the ordinary — don’t know if this has anything to do with calorie cutting or not).
Again, sorry if this is totally dumb, it’s just making me very anxious and sad, and I want to make sure I’m not making any huge errors when I’m just starting out!
Thank you!
