Default Ok, fine, whatever, I give up

Well, I _thought_ I'd broken my stall, but I went for my last
weigh-in at Curves today, and I was down a half pound. Which is back
to what I was in January. I go from 156 to 156.5 and back to 156,
with likewise minute fluctuations in measurements that are probably
due to different people measuring me in slightly different ways.

I've been working out 5 - 6 days a week, weight lifting 3x a week,
cardio as a warm up on weight days, and more cardio on non-weight
days. I'm pushing myself as hard as I can on the working out. I've
been averaging around 1200 calories a day, about 30g of carbs a day.

I'm NOT giving up on low-carb. I like eating this way, and at least
I'm not gaining. I'm not giving up on exercise either, because I
like it too. But I guess I need to give up on losing any more weight,
because apparently this is where my body wants to be, and to tell you
the truth I'd rather be at this weight forever than eat any less,
because I'm already restricting myself enough so that it's a pain in
the butt and I'm hungry most of the time. I've butched up about as
much as I can. No, that's not true, I could eat less. I could force
myself to eat one small salad a day and nothing else. But what's the
point? Been there, done that, hated every minute of it way more than
I hate being fat. I'm not saying I love to pig out more than I hate
being fat, it's not about wanting to eat huge portions of stuff, it's
about how I don't think I could stick with being hungry when I go to
bed, hungry when I wake up, hungry all day long, stomach growling
loud enough that other people can hear it, ****ed off because I've
just eaten a hard boiled egg for lunch and I'm still hungry, for the
rest of my life. I have always been skeptical about people who say
they don't eat a lot and they do exercise but they can't lose weight,
and now look at me, I've become what I ridiculed. Whatever. ****
it.


I agree with JC. *strange shivery feeling* Changing tactics might push your
body onto a different track.
