OK I have been eating less and gaining weight anyway for months. I am not impressed. Why is this happening? I read "Women, Food and God" and according to that book, I want this weight on my body. I am keeping it to drown my issues out. I don't think so. I think there is a psychological element, the stress that runs through my brain on a daily basis may keep my brain too busy tot alk to the rest of my body. I am always in "flight or fight" mode and that keeps the body from losing weight. My body thinks I have to be ready for war so it keeps the weight on in anticipation of a hunger problem that may arise due to the stress. Of course this is not happening and evolution has ruined my chances of losing weight. Once I relax I think (in theory) some of the weight should come off as long as I exercise and do not overeat. In theory.
I will not give up trying to eat right and walking but it is frustrating. I know I ma not the only person going through this either. I will push through, thank god I am stubborn. To all those skinny women out there who have never had to worry about this - I envy you and hate you at the same time. Motherbitches.
