Ugh! I lost 20 pounds last year and then have discovered some major digestive and health concerns, Including SIBO and candida.

It has thrown off my nutrition and macros. I don't eat much. And I'm obsessing over what I do eat and keeping Cals low. And now I'm obsessing as my weight has ticked up and I feel like I'm gaining the fat I worked too hard to keep off.

I know I need to focus on health. I know it's just a number. My measurements haven't changed and I still fit into my skinny clothes. But I just feel gross.

Plus, I was so excited to be down and go visit family and not stress about my weight. But of course this is starting to happen a couple weeks before my trip.

Just venting in the only place I know too with others that hopefully understand.

    I don't think it hurts to focus both on health and any dramatic weight gains. Better to nip them in the bud if possible.
