I’m prefacing this with I don’t weigh myself, but I pay attention to how my clothes fit. I (29f, 5’7”, CW: 250lbs) was working out consistently for 6 months. Mostly because I wanted to be healthier but jump started by my wedding in July. Started with walking three time a week, then added weight lifting, culminating with working out six days a week for 2 months. My diet has mostly been middle of the road (we don’t keep candy in the house, i don’t drink a lot of soda, I don’t eat a lot of fried food, I try to choose vegetables and whole foods for most of my meals, but I’m not super strict about diet). I tried on a pair of jeans that barely didn’t fit a year ago and they still didn’t fit the exact same way. So it was time for some help. I met with a trainer and a nutritionist. The advice the trainer gave me was to lift a little heavier and add cardio. The nutritionist had me track my food for two weeks, which found I average on my current diet (which hasn’t changed substantially in years) 1500 calories a day. Basically I should be losing weight without even exercising and I’m obviously not. After learning all of this I made a doctors appointment for blood work, but that’s not until September.
Basically, after learning everything I did about my exercise and nutrition, I can’t seem to find the motivation to workout. I’m at the point I truly believe that I can’t lose weight and I just can’t seem to see the point in trying anymore. This is causing all sorts of fights between me and my husband because he wants to “fix it” (basically make me happy again) but I’m not sure there’s a way forward with me feeling like this. I’m just kinda at a loss of what to do.
