    PinkSpaceSheep got a reaction from charelan in Am I being irrational?   
    Hi there, let me jump in befcause I lost a lot of weight (I am German so we work with kilogram but I once was 150 pounds, about 75 kilograms and I am only 162cm or 5.3 - sorry if my conversion is a little off) and dove into this subjects to an extend that I am now giving advice on eating, and health as part of my job ...
    If you are healthy in terms of thyroid, no history of diabetic issues or any other stuff (maybe go for a large blood scan, if possible) then I believe you are doing fine in terms of maintaining your weight.
    I do believe that if you wanted to lose weight, it is a long-term process and def starts in the head. Key factor is WHY YOU EAT and WHAT YOU EAT. Are you happy?
    Like not 100% happiness and joy everyday but mostly happy and ok with who you are and how you live your life ... is there anything that makes you want to eat, eat more than usual?
    Being sad or using food as a source of comfort is ok, but within limitations.  And I was overeating because I went through an awful breakup and began binge-eating and went from 100pounds to 150 super-quickly (hello peanut butter and cookies straight from the jar with a spoon daily) ... in the end I was so unhappy that I went to the gym and got a personal trainer three times a week and that was the turning point.
    We talked about my nutrition and he killed me with work-outs.
    Going to the gym and working out is about 30% of being healthy, the rest food and sleep. Make sure you sleep enough, we might think 6 hours is fine but it rarely is. And sleeping to little makes you sick, hungry and moody ...
    Don't worry about your weight, rather look at other factors of your health and if you want to lose weight you can start any time. Also, I LOOOOOOOOVE FOOD and ever since having my first kid, I burn the calories by running after him
    All the best ?
