I always had a pretty good relationship with food and was mostly always a healthy weight throughout my adult life (it did occasionally creep up, but was easy to manage).
And then I had kids. I have horrific nausea during pregnancy and it’s only calmed by eating, but with significant food aversions to both vegetables and meat I ended up putting on 30kg with both pregnancies.
After the first pregnancy I lost most of it gradually over 4 years, and then got pregnant again.
This time around, I’ve lost about 20kg over the last 18 months, and still have another 10kg to go.
I’ve switched between various different diets (because I get bored and fed up sometimes) but what has worked the most, and the one I’ve done the longest after both pregnancies has been LCHF as per the Bootcamp threads on here.
However I’m doing it at the moment and the other day, I had a gallstone attack - thankfully not too bad, but definitely gall stones (distinctive pain under right ribs spreading round to shoulder blades). So now I’m freaking out that I’ve damaged my body.
Furthermore, I have been at the same sodding weight for 3 months now and am absolutely sick of it. I’ve been dieting and dieting and it’s not been shifting. I had a weekend off the wagon last month for our anniversary, put 3kg(!) on in two days (fuck knows how, because I didn’t go crazy) and now that won’t shift either.
I’m just really fucking depressed about the whole thing, both the lack of weight loss, the constant dieting for years and years when I was previously naturally slim, and the damage that I’ve done to my body.
The thought of having to eat a low fat diet for my gallstones is really depressing me too, and so is the thought of it being a long term thing and missing out on so many vital fat-soluble nutrients.
I just want this last 10kg to go and to feel like my old self again.
