Steve, I just wanted to thank you for the advice you gave me. I know I have to eat more but I really hate that fact. The feeling of being full for me is disgusting, and my lowest weights were reached by restricting my eating. I know it's stupid, and I gained all the weight back after those crash dieting spurs, but it's just crappy that the less you eat, the more your body holds onto the fat. This is just something I will have to get used to. You say I don't have much weight to lose, but 33 lbs. is a lot to me! I work out all the time and eat like a saint and I just feel like the weight should be falling off, it's just such a long process. Grrr. Anyways, you are very inspiring and your pictures are very awesome, keep up the good work! <3
I wish it were as simple as eat less, lose weight. But thankfully for our ancestors who did not have the abundance of food that we have today.... our bodies are built upon an evolution that involved starvation periods. Our bodies are built to survive. And there is A LOT more that goes into weight loss than simply eating less.
People who have 100+ lbs to lose, sure, it is physiologically easier for them to lose weight. People who are closer to their set point weights..... it tends to get trickier.
People who cut cals too much, almost ALWAYS gain their weight back. By doing so, you wreak havoc on the amount of calories your body burns each day, and your hormonal dispositions flip so that weight loss becomes next to impossible. There is nothing you can do BUT gain the weight back.
You know where to find me when you need some help. Best to you, really.
And thanks for the compliment.
