I made a commitment that early January, I would lose weight. At that point I weighed 191lbs, and my first goal weight was 140lbs. I smashed that a couple of months ago. Then it was 130. Then 126. Then 120.
Today I'm 118lbs - at 5'6" that's a BMI of 19.2 and I'm struggling to want to switch to maintenance, but I always said I am doing this for my health which is increasingly feeling like a lie. I increased my calorie intake but also increased the exercise I do alongside it to compensate.. so I'm still losing weight.
I'm eating 1700-1800 calories a day (up to 2100-2200 on long run days), so I'm not severely restricted, but I'm still nursing an 8 month old infant and running 30k a week.
Where is this guilt coming from? I'm so scared of calculating maintenance calories wrong and then gaining it all back. Why can't I talk to anyone about this? I know I don't need to keep losing weight so why can't I just stop?
