Dramatic as the title sounds- it's true!
I can't figure out the way to balance my calories. It should be as easy as creating a deficit and losing weight. But, sadly that is no where near the case.
Last year my doctor told me I needed to be on 1200 calories per day, no more no less. Well, right now I'm having difficulty sticking to that. I use a calorie counting fitness site (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/) and their reccomendation for someone my height and weight is to have an intake of 2150. The space between the two is what is causing me so much unease. I don't know which to follow. Everyone keeps telling me that 1200 is too low (I generally also burn around 500-800 calories) and my doctor does not want me to eat back my calories.
Part of me is like yes! a reason to eat less!
The other part is like "I can't possibly get back down to eating that small of an amount.
Currently I'm getting between 1000-2400 calories a day. On higher calorie days its most likely that I binged or made very bad choices (the fiance and I keep hitting up the fast food places). I'm so stuck and I can't keep doing this. I'm ready to just break down and I don't know what will happen when I do.
