What is going on with my weight? Please help!

[ICannotDenyIt]

I'm normally 8 stone 11 or 8 stone 12. Never ever over 9 stone. Lately I've gone up to 9 stone 3, despite eating the same if not healthier/less than normal?

My weight has consistently been 9 stone 3 for the past month and me improving my diet is having no effect.

Although I'm healthy now, for 7 years I suffered from eating disorders. I have a great relationship with food and have done for the last 8 years but I'm not prepared to go on a diet, so to speak. I feel as though dieting is not something I can risk given my background but I'm happy to make some healthy swaps, which is what I've been doing for the past month, but it's having no effect.

I know I'm consuming less calories than normal so I'm really confused.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Possibly it is just age? Also a month is no time at all to see changes if you are making healthy swaps. It should be a gradual shift over a longer time frame.

I'm 30 so not sure if that's the sort of age metabolism tends to slow down? I'm a bridesmaid at the end of the month and my dress is feeling tight so I need to make sure I don't gain any more and ideally lose a few pounds between now and then.

Metabolism can start to slow down around 30, but...

Any possibility you're pregnant?

Any possibility you're pregnant?

Extremely unlikely. I'm on the pill and haven't missed any or anything. Also, not a single other symptom and I've had 2 DC so I know the sort of things to look out for.

How tall are you? That doesn’t seem like a huge amount of weight gain. Maybe peri-menopause?

Peri menopause at 30? I hope not 😟

I'm 164cm.

Oh missed your age. Is that a huge weight gain for you? I can put that on and lose it in days, especially around my period.

Have you any other symptoms? I put on 3 stone very rapidly and was eventually diagnosed with an under active thyroid

R U drinking more booze than you used to?
No reduction in activity, did you start driving to school instead of walking the journey?

I'm not having more alcohol (I'm not really a drinker) and I'm doing the same amount of exercise. I'm honestly baffled.
