I’m struggling.

I’m struggling today. I’m not sure what I hope to get out of this post but my hubby didn’t understand my vent.

I’m not new to FB. It’s been 2 years or so. I’ve built up to working out 5-6 days a week. I follow the FB programs. I’ve done Fit, Strong, Flex, a bunch. I love those green check marks!

In my journey, I’ve worked hard at body positivity. I stopped self hate talk and accepted that my body is not built to be thin. I stopped weighing myself on the scale obsessively. Now only periodically. From what I can tell, I’m maintaining my weight # from the scale.

I’m frustrated because I keep gaining inches. My clothes keep getting too small. Frankly, I’m tired of buying new pants. I do see toning happening in my arms and legs, but no shrinking in size. My stomach is still poochy.

I’m a mom, I’m early thirties. I’m trying not to track calories because I get too focused. My food is relatively clean. I cook at home, 90% of the time. I struggle with portion control and wine. ;)

Am I still early in my FB journey? When will my body stop changing? (Or stop changing so much?) Should I count calories?!

This is long. Thanks for reading. 💕
