I am only 5'1" which is part of the problem as any weight at all shows. Just realised my BMI is 25.8 which puts me in the overweight category. I'M size 12 in shops like next. I don't feel like I am over eating though. I don't calorie count but I'd often feel like, no I won't have that. I don't pig out. But I don't like the feeling of hunger. I'm not an emotional eater. I make good choices. I try only to have one slice of bread a day (although I only manage that every second day). I have to have my breakfast very early (7.15) and then lunch isn't til 12.30 so I'd have a snack which feels small to me given how hungry I feel (half a banana, diet yoghurt). Dinner would be fish or chicken with limited carbs and veg.
I feel like I'm going mad here. I'm being careful. Oh yeah, I do exercise as well, do a 5k run about twice a week, so I'm not super fit but I'm not unfit. I also walk to work and it's about 25 mins away. I feel like I ought to be slim. I'm in my 40s.
Do I just accept this? I have been thinner before but I was hungry for hour long periods in the run up to every meal.
Any advice? either from people who've learned to live with not being slim? Or any tricks that will help.
I did mfp a while back and found it time consuming but it did work but I think 1200 is so few calories. I would probably eat about 1800 on a normal day but I'm active.
do I deserve to be overweight?
be honest.
