Hey guys, I wanted to preface this by saying: this is all information I have been told that has worried me but I do not know if it’s correct so I’m just coming here to ask the more knowledgeable folks here. I know there are a lot of weight loss myths that circulate so I just want to figure out what’s true.
I was doing very well on my weight loss i started at 165 and I’m around 138-140 right now. I lost this all the right way by limiting calories, eating clean and exercising and I’m happy where I am so I’m not in a huge rush to lose the rest of the weight now. But I’ve kinda started to stall for 3 weeks and I’m worried it’s bc I was eating too little for some weeks prior to now.
I didn’t do it intentionally to lose weight, I went through a break up with a long term partner and had to move, all right after a stressful finals season. I was just really stressed out and didn’t have an appetite. I felt sick when I would eat for awhile. I’d force myself to eat but I wasn’t even hitting 1200 calories a day for a couple of weeks. I know that isn’t healthy and i am in therapy and taking much better care of myself now. It was just a really hard time for me.
So now that I’ve recovered and had some time to process I’ve kind of hit a rut where I don’t seem to be like losing weight now on the 1400 calories I usually eat at.
One of my friends told me I probably screwed up my metabolism by not eating enough and now my body is used to not having very many calories. They even suggested I might start gaining weight until I fix my metabolism? Which idek how to fix? That seems crazy to me that I could screw up my body like that after a couple hard weeks and it’s stressing me out.
Is this even true? If so will my body level back out once I continue being healthy and taking care of myself?
