Taking the following step...
I will start by stating my current body weight: 141.32 lbs and my height: 5'5''. According to every article I've read online I'm on the target body wight using the height-weight ratio suggested but I still feel fat. This is when this get confusing as one website stated that my waistline was too big and an indicator of being overweight however my weight is well within the normal range, I'm wearing skinny jeans and they're 28, some of the biggest jeans I'm wearing are size 30 and all my old 32 can't be worn without a belt.
As you can see I have been following my diet to the t to keep my current weight, people notices and keeps telling me that I'm extremely thin yet when I look in the mirror the only thing I can see is my flabby belly and love handles, which drive me crazy. I eat basically because I'm forced to eat by family and friends, I tried to stay away from tempting places such as the school's cafeteria or the food court at the mall, I don't even feel hungry at times and I can go with my swimming for three hours in a row without feeling exhaustion. I drink all the water I can and try to stay hydrated to avoid any problems in the future. My diet is basically proteins (no red meat, only skinless chicken or tuna), little or no potatoes, rice or any form of carbohydrates. I think I'm having around 1000 to 1200 calories a day but still nothing.
Today I've made up my mind and I'm ready to take to the next level. I know I said the same thing the last time but I was trying to stay within the safe limits of dieting, as I don't want to gain any weight because of my dieting and eating habits; you know that when you diet and your body goes into starvation mode your metabolism slows down and you start gaining weight, so I was avoiding that, but this means that my dieting will have to be more 'permanent' than expected.
I will use my calorie counter app to keep track of my calorie intake and I will check my body weight in the morning and at night before going to bed. The electronic scale has been incredibly helpful as it allows me to keep exact track of the weight loss. Swimming will continue 5 times a week for an average of 2 hours weekdays and 3 on weekends, this should help.
I'll let you know if this scheme works!
