What should my weight be?!
Question:
What should my weight be?
I am a 41 year old woman and I've been gaining weight lately.
I am 5'6" and I weigh 146lbs.
To me this is too much weight.
I used to always be thin. Everybody in my family is thin. To the point that we would try to do anything we can to gain weight.
When I was too thin, I always wanted to gain weight but now that I am, I don't like it :(
I was always right around 103lbs.
So this weight now seems like too much.
I can't exercise...I've been trying to but because of my health problems I am very limited. And since I've been trying to just walk, I had to spend 2 days in bed.
I'm really not eating too much, the same as always.
I just don't like this weight.
I know I was too thin...and didn't like that either.
But am I too fat now?
My hubby doesn't say anything either way.
He says he likes me with a little more weight on rather than me being so thin before.
But not sure if this is too much weight.
Becareful what you wish for, you just might get it!!!
Answers:
i am 5'4 and weigh 145 lbs if i could grow 2 more inches i would be perfect..... but that is for my body build
if you have a very slim skelatal structure then you may want to trim off a few pounds
if you have broad shoulders and hips the 146 sounds about right
but remember your health if walking is stress on your body because of medical conditions dont over work yourself or not eat properly
eat things that are nutricious and try some yoga some thing very low impact that has a relaxing effect on the body
also if youare taking medications for anyhting those could be making you put on weight as a side effect
and im sure its not what you want to hear but you could be going through "the change" my mother is in denial but she is gaining weight as a result of menopause
consult your doctor he/she will be able to tell you if your weight is right for your height and build and whether or not you should consider losing or gaining because of your health
and tell hubby to speak up when you ask an important question like "am i fat?" his opinion matters! :-)
