Scared Again!

[june13sleever 223]

So basically every time I get nervous of losing too much I write a post! It is so crazy that one day I am scared of gaining and the next scared of losing. I weighed 163 on my scale this morning which means on my doctor's scale and other scales I would be between 159 and 163. I wish there was a true scale. At 5'11" I am fine with where I am but for the past 4 months I have lost 4 pounds each month and my eating has been pretty consistent. I have been trying for the past two months too add more calories, but I do honestly believe since adding calories hasn't been consistent the change up in my routine has caused me to keep losing. I am still ok and feel like I could get down to 155...but I am really thinking that should be it! My doctor said 180. I said 170. Now I am 160! To be under 160 really wasn't a possibility (in my mind) but I am basically there. I just wish I knew when I was going to stop. I have not bought anything for clothes because you lose 7 or 8 pounds and those clothes don't fit right! So I wear the same clothes over and over again. Thank goodness for forever 21 because I was able to get a pair of jeans and pencil skirt for less than 20 dollars. The jeans I bought for $80 are worthless now. Never again. Just venting! I am 15 months out and still losing!

Have you thought about adding something like Polyjoule? I don't know if it's called the same in America (I'm assuming that's where you are). I used it to help my baby gain weight (he had a heart condition). It's powder form and doesn't taste. Might be worth speaking with a GP or nutritionist about. You could calculate exactly how much you would need to maintain your weight. Good luck!

I would go to the doctor to make sure you're not hyperthyroid or something else isn't going on.

$80 for jeans? That's what I told my daughter when I picked up a pair of Lucky Brand Jeans at Goodwill for $7. I'd swear they were brand new. Actually those jeans run at $100.

You are in control of where you want to stop. When you want to stop, experiment with adding more HEALTHY carbs in. Get to where the weight holds steady. In maintenance I plan to continue to weigh, measure and track food. It's second nature now.

About the clothes: I plan to continue shopping at Goodwill and on Ebay even when i get to goal. I like American Eagle, Old Navy and a few other stores, but I like getting my clothes at steal prices. I just makes more sense. Just wash the stuff well.

I have a huge pile of size 14s and 12s to give back to Goodwill. Soon my 10s will be in a pile. YAY!

Oh my gosh! Wow you are like a baby giraffe but I can see why you may be worried I think you look lovely and healthy but I'm not sure about maintaining... Do you feel tired or weak? I'm not sure if it's a medical thing yet? I've heard ppl jk about eating ice cream to maintain, but I suppose I don't have any real good advice, just wanted to say hi & wow!!!
