[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell.

I’m 39 for a few more days.  I have three kids: 11, 8, and 2.  Outside of pregnancy, and since my youngest was born, I was always within the same ten-pound range and wore a size 6. Sometimes a 4, sometimes an 8, but I was pretty much the same size.  I ate normally - did not exclude anything but didn’t eat to excess - and was active but was never a gym rat.  It was, in hindsight, easy for me to maintain this weight.

My last pregnancy wrecked me 100%.  Baby was born in March 2023.  I gained an ungodly amount of weight, developed gestational diabetes, and to this day I weigh 30 pounds more than I did when I got pregnant with him.

I counted calories: sub-1600, sub-1400, sub-1200.  Eliminated sugar.  Eliminated gluten/grains.  Quit alcohol.  Intermittent fasted.  Worked out 3-5 times a week for a YEAR (July 2024-July 2025, cardio and weights).  And my weight has barely budged. Oh and before anyone suggests it, I have been on both tirzepitide and semaglutide and neither worked.  WTF.

I am now trying the last-ditch effort of a carnivore diet.  It’s been 2.5 weeks, and after an initial drop of water weight I haven’t lost anything.  My panels are normal, my blood glucose is normal, and I am so plucking depressed at the notion of being perpetually chubby/overweight. I have tried EVERYTHING.  Will carnivore/keto be the answer to my problems? Or should I just get used to being FAT!?[/quote]

The fact that your won't post your height /weight / BMI / fat%, and talking  abou losing weight ins 2.5 WEEKS suggests that you are anorexic with a body image problem.
