Hi all
I'm (22F) looking for some advice as I've been struggling with my weight and I can't figure out why.
Please don't judge that I can't have problems with my weight because I am not overweight. I know that there are people that have health issues and way bigger problems than me, I just want a bit of advice on my tiny problem.
I am 5 feet 4 inches (163cm) and weight 126lbs (57kg) (I know, please don't judge on the fact that I do not weight a lot, see above). I used to weight 114lbs (52kg) (18-22 years old). I have really wide hips (just my bone structure) and bigger legs, but basically no boobs. 114lbs would make me look healthy, but with a flat stomach. The weight increase of 12lbs or 5kgs is all situated around my hips and stomach. It didn't distribute at all.
I used to just starve myself for a week and lose 4kgs (9lbs). I know it's a bad way of dieting. Then I would gain a kg or two (5lbs) maybe over the course of a few months, and then I would starve myself again (talking 600-800kcal a day or less). I tried it again 2 weeks ago and got a giant swollen belly, I looked 3 months pregnant according to my mom. I figured I was retaining water as it was a hard stomach. So I started eating 1200-1300 kcal a day, and in 1 week, it got a lot smaller (almost fully gone now). Over the last two months I have picked up running again and right now I run about 10-15km (6.2-9.3miles) a week. Those days I eat more so I get to a net intake of 1200-1300kcal again.
I have been dieting for 2 weeks, and although I can gain weight and lose that again, the moment I get down to 57kg/126lbs I cannot lose a single gram. I feel like I'm stuck at a plateau.
I've heard of the bad effects of yoyo-dieting and I'm guessing that might be it? Although I would want to know how long I'd be stuck at this weight then.
Again, I am making myself vulnerable talking very openly about my body and my miniscule problems and I really don't want to regret it... Please don't be toxic telling me that I have no problem and I am
privileged. I would just want some advice.
Thank you in advance
