Oh, and I eat. A LOT. I'm now consuming between 1800-2500 calories a day...and that's to lose weight.
your entire story resinated with me bc for years the scale wouldnt budge for me and it wasnt until I met with my doctor, had tests, and went through a food diary with the in house nutritionist did i realize I wasnt eating enough calories!
do you think that is why you stalled, bc you were restricting too much?0 -
WOW. your story gave me goosebumps. Amazing achievement to date. Keep up the fantastic work honey xx0

I know, without a doubt, that that's why I stalled. My body is so much happier with me when I actually FEED it.

You say: "Now, I'm not going to rant on Weight Watchers. It helped me to lose 40 lbs, and definitely set me on the right course. I learned to make much better choices, and started weighing and "tracking" my food intake. However, it also set me on the path of a very damaging relationship with food. During the week, I was consuming less than 1200 calories a day, and then I would proceed to binge on anything I deemed "forbidden" on the weekends. However, I didn't care as I was losing weight at a 2 lb a week clip. By July of 2010, I had hit 170 lbs. ""
_______
Sounds to me like it wasn't Weight Watchers that "set you on a path of a damaging relationship with food" but your own choices. WW doesn't advocate what you are describing.
Glad you found a way that works for you and have had success. Best wishes as you continue on this healthy lifestyle you've created!0
