23F, 156lb. used to be 125lb 4 years ago, been gaining since. no activity outside light walks, 15-20 mins, and some strength training exercises here and there. i plan to add more intense exercise to my routine but right now i'm just too plain busy.
i'm trying to restrict my calorie intake to about 1200 to 1500, as well as my carb and sugar intake because i'm realizing how much it's affecting my appetite. however, it's been really hard. yesterday i managed to eat around 1200 without feeling ravenously hungry.
today i kept off breakfast until i felt actual hunger. i never felt hunger, though, which was weird. i ate anyways. and now i'm so light headed, weak, and dizzy. i haven't felt like this since i was a teenager and i used to undereat and barely got any nutrients without realizing. i'm not that hungry, though. but i'm hungry enough to wish i could eat more.
these symptoms are what makes weight loss so hard for me. yeah i get cravings, i struggle with portion control for my favorite foods, but i had improved upon that for the last few weeks. i've been trying for years now, with and without exercise, to lose weight. i just want to lose it already. i'm constantly gaining and i don't think i'm even eating that much. i've cut out just about everything i enjoy now. i'm just tired. and now i can't even work because of how weak i am.
can't i just restrict my calories, which is what's supposed to work, without feeling like i'm going to fall from faint if i'm not careful. but if i eat more, that means i'll gain weight.
