Remember too it will be nor al to bounce up a size.

So I won't be a size 0 forever? I don't mind being a bigger size. When I was size 4 I felt perfect but I kept getting smaller. I just want some hips & ass & boobs.

Mami, if I remember correctly, you maintain a food log (MFP?). Have you tried increasing your daily calorie goal by 100-200 calories for a week and seeing what impact that has on your weight? I've dropped lower than my goal a few times and a moderate increase in my calorie intake has always got me back on track. Logging has worked equally well for me for weight gain, weight loss or maintenance.

Try weight training. Get into a gym and start lifting weights. Muscle weighs more and will help in maintaining weight loss.

Yes I still have a open food log. I'm under 1200 per day but I do try to eat as much calories in a meal as I can.

I should try that.

Perhaps your body is telling you that isn't enough? Consider increasing that to 1300 or 1400 for a week. If you maintain or lose weight, increase it again. If you gain weight, keep it at that level until you're at the weight you want to be at and then adjust it down slightly until you're stable. The cool thing about calories is that you can increase or decrease them without changing the volume of what you eat - just the food choices that you make. There's no "try" grasshopper, just "do". Lol!

I will try no guarantee. I'm also afraid back of my mind of getting fat again. I love my self in tiny package. I Hate the person I was before.

I think we all can relate. But losing too much weight is something to be wary of as well. If I recall correctly (big if lol), you said in one of your posts that your doctor set a goal weight for you somewhere around 130 to 140. At 105 you're 25+ pounds below that. That's a lot - some might suggest too much. The only way you're going to gain confidence in your ability to control your weight is to test it. Experiment. Nice and easy - minor adjustments.

Your food log is the absolute perfect tool for doing just that. Use it! You will very quickly discover that you absolutely can precisely control your weight - up, down or maintaining. Your confidence will soar. It's all about confidence and control, not fear and denial. You can do this and you'll be oh so glad you did!!
