But I have been trying really hard to eat clean for a year now, and until last month, I was really faithful to it. In a year of eating clean and working out faithfully, I never got below 143. And I think last month, I just sort of went, WHATEVER. If I can't lose, why not just eat what I want? I know, not a good attitude. I'm trying really hard to lose the 'tude now.
But I also think something else is going on. In addition to the inability to drop below 143 pounds no matter what I do, I have a whole host of other symptoms ranging from extreme fatigue to low blood pressure to heavy periods and a number of other things that doctors having been telling me are unrelated to one another and I just have to live with. I have an appointment with a holistic doctor tomorrow afternoon, and I'm praying that gives me some insight. Because I don't buy that the symptoms are unrelated, and I don't buy that I have to live with them! Here's hoping my intuition is right! Meanwhile, however, I have no intention of giving up on clean eating or fitness!

I really should be in bed right now but I had to respond to this. I don't have my links handy, but this totally sounds like me... and based on my internet research, I'm convinced I'm somewhat hypothyroid... the kind that shows normal TSH and requires the individual hormone tests to figure it out. You might try researching hypothyroid symptoms aswell, and see if it sounds like you. I'm still working on convincing the doc to order me the tests (so ins. will cover it).
