I have been struggling with my weight for years and it is very frustrating. I don't think I am fat but I think I have fat on my body. Everyone tells me that I don't look like I weigh 155lbs because I am tall. My biggest problem is abdominal fat. I am toned all over from working out with weights for so long. You can see the muscle when I flex but in some parts of my body fat is covering the muscle. I am constantly dieting and I always end up stopping the dieting for 2-3 days and then go back. I drink about 64-70 ounces of water a day. I do not drink coffee or soda. Occasionally I will drink 1 cup of skim milk. I drink one glass of red wine a month. I am very inconsistent about my diet and I need some help to get back on track. First of all, I hate eating salad everyday. I cannot do it. I don't eat beef so I stick to lean turkey or chicken. I need carbs because I do lift weights and I have a strenuous job. The water does not keep my stomach full. Should I be drinking more water? I feel like I am constantly hungry and that is how I fall off of my diet. Any suggestions?

What are you eating and when? If the problem is that you are always hungry, then this would be important information to have.
I typically eat a kashi cereal bar or cereal for breakfast. I drink one bottle of water from 8am to 12pm. At lunch I usually eat chicken and vegetables or a sandwich (turkey and a little mayo or a pb&j) with whole grain bread. I sometimes have nuts with this or a 100 calorie pack. I usually drink another 16 oz. bottle of water during lunch. I get hungry again about 3:30 or 4:00 and I try to eat an apple or nuts but I need some other options because I get bored easily. I work at an animal clinic and people are constantly bringing in food for us and this when I fail. I eat candy or chips instead of healthy snacks. I drink another bottle of water from 2-6pm. After work I try to head to the gym but sometimes I get so tired that I just want to go home. I am typically on my feet about 9 hours per day and I am lifting and restraining large dogs for a portion of my day. When I do go to the gym I usually weight train for about 30-40 minutes and then I do cardio for about 35min. I try to get to the gym 4 days a week.
The reason I say I have been struggling is because my weight goes up and down. I have about 10 pounds of extra weight on my body and it is not muscle. I wear a size 10 and I have about a 31"waist. All of the weight goes to my middle.Lady, your BMI is 21. You are not overweight or anywhere near it. You have no need to loose weight in the least.
How tall are you?
You're not eating enough. Have you ever counted up your calories?

Yeah weight going up and down is normal, having a tad more fat around your midsection is normal. This is simply genetics. If you were to loose 10 pounds you would be underweight.
I would agree with this and feel that this is probably one of the reasons for your lack of energy during the dayYou're not eating enough. Have you ever counted up your calories?
