Open Question: Weight loss difficulty…?
During my teenage years and early twenties I had a healthy/muscular body. Not as skinny as some girls of today, but not average either. I was very toned and muscular.
After having 2 children and getting older, I put on a few pounds, but I was still very happy with myself.
When I hit 35, I began to be unhappy with myself(mostly because I no longer fir into the size 4 & 6 clothing I had).
At 37, I quit my job and with the exception of a few temporary part-time jobs, remained unemployed until now...43.
During the past 4 years, I have gained a lot of weight(50 lbs, but looks like more!) and lost most signs of muscle.
I slept VERY late into the day and ate much more and frequently right before going to bed or during the night.
That factor, in addition to getting no exercise, had a profound affect upon my weight and tone.
Last month I started working again...on my feet at least 7 1/2 hrs. a day. In addition, I have had a more regular diet (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and no longer eat after 8:00 p.m.
The problem is that there has been no change in my weight (visually).
Being that my major contributors to my weight gain has been a lack of exercise and late night eating, I expected to see some changes already. (I went on the Atkins diet for 28 days and lost 21 lbs)
What is happening and why haven't I seen any loss?
Although I realize that I haven't been "dieting", I clearly have gotten more exercise and less late night eating.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Any insight?
