I''m depressed about my weight gain is this normal?

I''m a 28 year old woman.I once weighed 230 pounds and lost the weight and got down to 135 pounds.I''m 5''6'''' BTW.Anyway my mother claimed I looked "sick" so I gained weight.Now I''m about 140 or 145 pounds. Though I''m NOT overweight I look like I am.Maybe I should tone but even with toning I''d still be a bit "Thick" looking.



I feel so disappointed in myself and I feel fat! I will never listen to anyone again in regards of my looks (including my mother) I''m so depressed.I came so far just to look like this.


I''m on a 1200 calorie diet and active trying to lose 2 pounds a week.Will I have a hard time losing weight because I''m 28 years old? I feel so bad and so fat and nasty. :(

Recommended Answer:
Hey, calm down. You aren''t fat or nasty, 145 pounds isn''t even a lot of extra weight (for 5''6 120-140 pounds is the right weight, 160 pounds is slightly overweight). So you aren''t overweight, you''re in the right place. Just keep eating 1200 calories (of healthy food) and try to exercise (do some light cardio, walking, crunches and pushups are good too). It shouldn''t be too hard for you to lose weight, just stick with it and don''t give up.

• Of course you won''t have a hard time. 28 is still young and your body is still capable of burning fat like nothing if you exercise regularly.
• Yes it''s normal
