I’m trying to hard to remain optimistic but I really don’t know what to do anymore.
About me: 27, Female, 5’6”, 163 lbs, no drinking, no smoking of any kind, no prescription or recreational drugs.
I lost weight in 2020 and got down to 135 through keto. I felt amazing for the first time in years, and I was finally happy with the way I looked for the first time in a long time.
I stopped keto because I never wanted to do it forever, just until I got my weight down from 150. Of course it all came back and then some. I’ve never weighed above 150 so packing on these extra pounds is jarring to me.
I gained the majority of my weight within the last 5 months, and was diagnosed with estrogen-dominance that I’m now treating with progesterone (NOT synthetic).
The past two months, I went to the gym every day for an hour. There was no change. I didn’t feel better, look better, have more stamina, nothing. I felt embarrassed about not making any progress.
Since December I’ve cut down on my calories and started eating much cleaner with the help of a nutritionist, but I’ve only gained weight.
I am neurodivergent which definitely makes it harder for me to go to places like gyms and regulate my eating, so I’m trying extremely hard to make changes. I know I need to be healthier.
I really don’t know what else to do at this point. I’m willing to try anything. Maybe there is something obvious that I haven’t thought of or tried yet. Suggestions welcome.
