HELP- I feel so fat and it's causing me to become SERIOUSLY depressed...any suggestions?
I'm 21 years old, 5'0" and 140 lbs. I know that I'm not obese or extremely overweight but I'm a very petite girl and all the excess weight that I've put on within the last 6 months is taking a serious toll on my body and my mind. I excerise on a regular basis (2-3x a week) and I live in Chicago without a car so I'm constantly walking everywhere. I eat healthy, mostly sandwiches, salads, wraps, chicken, fish, fruit and veggies. I don't eat junk food and I cut soda out of my diet over a year ago. Usually I only eat twice a day, drink mostly water, iced tea or gatorade. I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong but I'm seeing absolutely no improvement in my body and I can't take it anymore. In the summer of 2007 I was 105 lbs, i looked great and felt amazing. In 6 months time I gained a whopping 35 lbs and now I feel terribly unattractive and very self consious about my image. The ONLY factor that I could see affecting my weight would be my birth control which I started 2 months ago??
I think it might be the portion size of the meats you eat. You might be eating too much.
Your portion size for meat should be no bigger then the palm of your hand.
have extra vegies instead to fill up.
Also you could have a medical condition that is making you put on weight or it could be the birth control pill your on or it could be a thyroid problem.
You should go to the doctor and check with them.
