Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hey Nicole, Good for you being brave and posting your food. I know that was a sore spot for you, but you did it anyway! You have a " can do " attitude, now you just gotta quit dogging yourself out, because you don't deserve that. I saw that you are hardly eating anything, so I don't think calorie intake is your problem at all. The only thing that really stood out to me is that you are only eating three times a day, and you aren't putting the concentration of your calories at the beginning of the day. From what I've read, the best way to kick-start your metabolism is to start the day with your largest meal, and then to spread the rest of your calories into 5 smaller meals throughout the day. Other than that, because you are eating so little, I think it's entirely possible that something could be wrong medically. Have you had your hormones and thyroid checked? I had a very good friend that was a size 2 and gained up to a size 22 inonly a year due to having cysts on her ovaries. Also, I just heard a story on the news today about a lady who gained 75 lbs in 6 months because something was wrong with her pituitary gland. And I'm sure you've heard all the sad stories about hypothyroidism and weight gain. SO, if you haven't had a physical, you might want to get one just for peace of mind and to rule out a major problem (and I know you don't have health insurance, so maybe you could do some searching online for diseases associated with weight gain and see if you have any symptoms). I just think it's so bizzare that someone eating such a reasonable amount of healthy food (not just Snackwell's morning, noon, and night!) would have such a hard time with weight gain. Anyway, whatever is going on, I hope you get it figured out so that you can get on the losing path!
