Ready for a Life Overhaul
Hi, everyone! I'm Nix and I've returned to FS because I am more than ten pounds heavier than I was last year. It scares me and makes me very sad. I feel out of control. I'm a short girl at 4'10 so weight gain like this really shows on me. While I am not intensely overweight, my BMI is still above normal. I'm a nurse, so my level of activity is a lot more than it was before I become one, yet I still kept gaining weight over the past year. I know I can attribute this to food intake. I recognize that. But with being so short, my caloric need is so low that dieting feels so much like starving myself. I enjoy my food, but I'm not an overeater. I recognize that I need more exercise in addition to what I do in the hospital, but I'm so exhausted after 12 hours of work that it gets very difficult to do anything except sleep. And I still don't get enough sleep before I have to wake up again!

I have several days off a week and I could use those days if I only got the motivation to shed the work-week exhaustion and get to the gym.

I'm not sure if I should start a diet plan or just stick to good old calorie counting and exercise. Either way, I need to get a handle on this and I'm gonna need your help!

My goal is to feel good by the end of June. I'm relocating and really, really need the confidence boost. New job, new home, new life.. It's so stressful. Would be nice to not have my weight weighing me down to, you know?

Love,
Me.
