I'm 45 and have gained about 20 in the last year. I have a current BMI of 44. I can always eat better, less, and drink more water, but it just seems so hard to loose the weight. About 4 years ago I did a spin class. I went religeously for a whole year straight. I lost 4 pounds. I felt great. Buat I was hungry all the time. I finally concluded that I was working to hard for my body, and although I was getting stonger, and my lungs were in great shape, I needed to eat only a can of cat food (LOL) a day to loose weight.
My doctor has had me stop exercising in hopes that I will eat less. He is concerned that I wont be able to stick to a 1000 calorie a day diet. Any ideas? I really am not a slacker, although I am not perfect. Give it to me straight. Am I just fooling myself, or do some people have problems loosing weight? Even still, I need to get real. Hit me with it...what do you think? Will I fail?  |
A couple of questions: Are you type II diabetic? Have you been tested for metabolic disorders? If you're not type II and don't have any metabolic disorders of any kind...then I would venture to guess, yes, denial is a big possibility. I am not saying that to be cruel...because Lord knows, denial had been my best friend for many moons...(and probably vexed most ppl on this board in one way or another). If you do have a physical reason for not loosing, then it's just gonna be a tough road to hoe. It'll be harder for you, but it still can be done.
What does your doctor say about it?
