I'm not overweight, but I've always been at the higher end the 'normal weight' BMI category and I actually feel like this is holding me back. With everything I try, whether it's changing up my diet or working out, I rarely lose any weight. But I know saying the good old 'yeah everything I try doesn't work' is complete and utter BS. I did once lose a little weight when I was really enjoying salads for dinner (even though I ate horrible snacks), it was my favourite food. But that was a year ago.
This time around the idea of still being considered 'normal weight' is really stopping me from reaching my goals. I often think that it's okay to have an unhealthy snack or meal because I don't need to lose the weight even though I do want to. And it's such a stupid way of thinking. I want to lose this weight for myself; to feel more comfortable in my own body. It should be enough motivation but it's just not working.
I know that BMI isn't the best way to look at weight. A body builder will be classed as overweight because of their muscle mass. But it's still messing with my thoughts. I just want to figure out how I can get over this hurdle. I want to be happy, I want to feel good and healthy, but I can't let myself.
