[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2074508, member: 6467"] I'm sure I've posted about this before, but anyway: At the moment I am trying to lose weight and improve my overall BG levels. This does seem to be working slowly; I am losing weight. At the moment I am mainly doing OMAD with a coffee/cream/butter in the morning and a meal around 14:00 - 15:00. However due to circumstances I may miss my main meal and in that case as I am not feeling hungry I may eat very little during the day. This is making me consider several topics; I am eating far less than I used to and I am feeling the cold more and seem to have less energy. This suggests my body is doing its best to conserve energy but it does encourage me to be sedentary. My levels seem to go up during and after exercise but it is harder to motivate myself to start to exercise. I weigh 11 stone 12 lbs at the moment (height 6') and my long term aim is to get down to 11 stone 7 lbs. Best I have done so far over far too many years is 11 stone 10 lbs. So when I look in the mirror or at the scales I see someone who is overweight. Nearly everyone who looks at me thinks that I am underweight. Weight control is very much a mental thing; noting at the moment it is common that I don't feel hungry but think perhaps I should eat something as I haven't eaten much for a while. Given the above, it does sound disturbingly like some of the symptoms of anorexia although I am doing this for anticipated health improvement not for bodily appearance. This also raises the question about changing the eating plan once the target weight has been achieved. Total relaxation and the weight will pile back on. Maintenance of denial could lead to further weight loss. Should I aim to undershoot the target weight because I am likely to gain a bit when I increase my food intake? Still, having that problem to solve would be a very good thing. :cool: [/QUOTE]
