I need to pee ALL the time?!
This isn't about weight but I had no idea where to put it. But I'm needing to pee all the time.

I thought it was…

Anyone dislike the food you loved before dieting?
Last year I did night classes (equine qualifications) every 2 weeks and I work with horses, so I would have a 14 hours, in - degree weather, with 2 hours brake from 4 till 6.

I was never really fat, my bmi was 26.9 so I was slightly overweight, but never really big, I was size 12-14 (US 8 – 10).

I then went back to being healthy…

Finding it really hard at the moment! Should I eat more?
I've been worrying about my state of mind when it comes to dieting. I don't eat calories a day I eat calories a week so my metabolism doesn't get used to it.
