I posted a little about some issue's I'm having in the Newcomers forum, but I guess I can go more into detail here. Anyway, I'm really looking for some help because I've spoken to a few people about my issue already and it seems like I'm the only one with this problem. I'm 20 years old, almost 21, standing 5'2" at 145lbs. I've always been a little chubby, and for the last 6 years, up until a few months ago, I've been the same "size", although my weight has fluctuated quite a bit. When I started high school I weighed 145lbs and kept fairly active during my freshman year by skiing on the school ski team and playing varsity soccer. After my freshman year in high school, I dropped sports and picked up drama club, working back stage, building sets, acting a little, and my activity level dropped a bit. I got REALLY involved in school my junior and senior year taking a bunch of AP classes, becoming an officer in a ton of clubs, and never leaving the school for play rehearsals. I had NO time to exercise or eat and was only able to consume about 800 calories a day and was running off of 4 hours of sleep a night. By the time I was a senior I had dropped down to 125lbs. My size didn't change, however, and my clothes still fit me exactly as they had my freshman year. After I graduated I took it easy for a bit because I killed myself my senior year and didn't want to overwhelm myself like that again. After about a year from graduating, I found myself back up to 145lbs again, and my size was still the same as it always had been. I've been 145lbs for about a year and a half now, but a few months ago, the clothes that had always fit just stopped fitting me, despite me not gaining any weight. I couldn't button my pants and my "big" t-shirts were barely long enough to cover my midriff. The change was pretty quick. I'm still growing, but my weight for the most part is hovering at 145lbs. I don't know why I all of a sudden got bigger, it's just the strangest thing.
Basically, I just don't want to deal with this anymore and I want to get down to 115lbs and just be comfortable and happy with the way I look, since I never have been. I'm trying to figure out the best way for me to go about this, but it's tough because now I have no idea how my body will react to things I do to it. It's been sooo inconsistent. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this or know what's going on?
