Looking for advice:
I’m 33 F 5’0 and current weight is 150 lbs. I’ve had very disordered eating for most of my life and had a lot of trauma that seemed to contribute to weight gain over the years (example: DV survivor, also when a loved one passed I gained 30 lbs in a month with no diet or exercise change).
Within the past few months I’ve worked really hard on viewing food as fuel for my body instead of “bad” - something I’ve struggled with for a long time so I’m very proud of this. I get in at least 120 g of protein per day with a healthy balance of carbs and fats.
My workouts include 2 days of heavy lifting, 3 days of Pilates, daily walks and 2 days of running or cycling.
When I began to eat “properly” I dropped 15 lbs pretty quickly, however, the scale is not moving anymore and it’s very frustrating. I don’t really care about the number on the scale, but I do know that 150 lbs on a 5’0 frame is extremely overweight.
Does anyone have any encouragement to help me start to see progress? Thanks!
