Hi geeks so I'm having a bit of a down day, I go on holiday in less than 2 weeks so I went to sort all my clothes out and try them on and half of them don't fit. Brilliant...
My diet hasn't changed at all and only odd treat once in a while, I'm active at work as in a spa and it's lots of massage 5 days a week and most evenings doing mobile work, I do exercise but yes have slacked lately.
I know I'm not really overweight but it's just a bit disheartening as i don't feel as confident like I used to (even though it wasn't much then) and I don't understand what's causing this.
I'm only 20, I'm about 5ft6 and weigh 10 st 10lb now and a few months ago I was 10st 4lb I used to be a size 10 and now none of my clothes fit comfortably at all so I'm a 12. It just feels all of a sudden my body has changed as I'm much fuller on the stomach hip and thigh, I did find out I was anaemic and I was put on a high dosage of folic acid and I'm on marvelon( birth control) but I don't think that would cause a change.
Just feel fed up why is this happening and how do I try control it other than live at the gym.
I was my smallest when I was in secondary school age 13-16 I really struggled with self esteem due to bullying and I found that purging and restricting my diet was the one thing I could do- leading to bulima which I am glad to say I have overcome but still struggle with my body image and confidence a hell of a lot.
Now I know there is nothing wrong with being size 12 or my weight really, but to me and my frame it's just not how I want to be as I don't feel comfortable in myself and I know there are greater problems but this keeps going through my mind and I wish it wouldn't, I constantly look at myself and never feel happy about what I see and I want that to change.
But how does everyone else control their weight? / does anyone ever get so down about it too and how do I stop being so down about it and realise there are so many more important things to worry about!
sorry for such a long post just needed to air my frustration!
