Not losing any weight

May 19, 2015

I'm starting to come to realize that I'm just not meant to be skinny.  Every time I've ever lost weight my body would literally stop losing at around the 200 lb mark and I'd just maintain and then start gaining weight.  But I'd still be fat when my body would decide to stop losing weight.  So it's happening again.  I got down to 200 pounds and now I'm hovering around 201-202 ever since.  I'm beyond frustrated.  I just can't seem to lose any more weight.  I'm still in the first year post op I should still be losing weight.  My calories are always between 900-1200 and I'm more active now than ever.  Yesterday I walked/jogged 3 miles and burned over 500 calories and today I step on the scale and I've gained a pound.  And I've been exercising a lot every day.  And it's all cardio so it's not like I'm building up a ton of muscle and that's why the scale isn't dropping.  I'm working out, burning fat, and keeping my carbs low/protein high.  Science says I should be losing weight.  So why is my body resisting?  I literally began to cry this morning.  This is how my diets always failed in the past.  I would get to a point where I would stop losing weight and then I'd fall off the wagon out of sheer frustration and gain it all back.  I'm afraid it's going to happen again.  I'm tired of working my ass off for no results.  So that's it.  My body has gone into maintenance mode with about 25-30 lbs to go.  FML.
