My body is REALLY irritating me these past 2-3 weeks. I normally lose a pound every 2 days ,even a pound a day for a few days a week.
Lately though it is staying the same for a good 3,4,5 days at a time and I haven't changed anything obvious I can think of. I eat probably around 600 calories a day, walk 2 miles daily (after an 8 hour active job), I know I haven't been getting enough water or ALL the protein daily for the last 3 months.(I would check my food journal but my daughter lost my notebook with the last 4.5 MONTHS of stats in it!).
I've lost 88lbs in 5 months since my sleeve, while I am stoked about the weight loss, I am floundering with the daily aspects of it. I am
getting annoyed and angry, to the point where it affects my mood sometimes. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! Do I need MORE calories? (Obviously more water & protein but I've been losing without the min.daily amount for awhile now). Exercise more? less? Is it my PCOS? Is it because I only have a BM once a week due to laxatives cause I can't otherwise?(I've been trying EVERYTHING under the sun to have a BM a few times a week). HELP!!! What do I do???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
