[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! I used to be 5'3" and 120, about a size 4. I was able to maintain it fairly well (always work) until perimenopause. Then I went up to about 133 or so, nothing fit, and I didn't feel great - seemed like insulin resistance was up, carb cravings like crazy, hangry (not to mention hair loss, insomnia, brain fog and night sweats). My middle also expanded. I needed to do something about all those symptoms and hormones were not for me (bad history for me and my family). I went keto, intermittent fasting, removed grains and dairy (I've always eaten tons of vegetables, so no change there). At my highest I was about a size 8-10, and I actually accepted that I was never going to be a 4 again, and got rid of all of those clothes. Lucky for me, with the diet for my symptoms, I lost a bit of weight, and am now at about 126-128, and around a 6-8 size. I'm totally happy with this. It doesn't mean I won't gain weight, but that's only if I eat mindlessly while watching tv at night, mostly this is sustainable for me - the least amount of time I've spent thinking about food or battling my entire life.[/quote]
So 6-8 pounds heavier? Doesn’t seem like that should be difficult to accept.[/quote]
