Weight

I am 34 & on medication which is turning off my ovaries so mimicking menopause.

I have always been thin and I am a runner so it is important to me to be thin. Generally on those healthy height/weight charts I have been verging on underweight. By any reasonable analysis I am not overweight now but I am 4 kilograms heavier than I was.

I might be eating more at work due to feeling tired and having a hard time getting through the day. But I have been through phases of trying to not eat so many snacks at work and I like feeling happy to eat if I want to.

Years ago, I read an article about eating disorders and I had 7 of the 8 signs. I have since gotten better about not stressing about what I eat but I still try to eat healthily.

I think the problem now is that I have trained myself to think that watching what I eat any more than what I already do is a bad & unhealthly eating-disorder type behaviour.

In terms of exercise I do training 6 days a week. The only area where there is great room for improvement is that I used to always walk to and from work and lately I have been catching the bus or driving. This is because I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning so I am always running late and don't have time to walk.

I have trouble getting to sleep lately. I feel like if I could just catch up on my sleep it would help with all my other problems.
