Losing Weight

[sana1983]

I am 5 feet 4 inches and weigh about 52 kilos now. Since the beginning of 2007, i have lost an amount of weight from being a 58 kilo to 56 kilos. This i had done by investing a lot of time in the gym and working out and eating a low carbohydrate but a healthy diet. However, i am concerned because i stopped working out or dieting since March 2007 and my weight seemed to remain the same to 56 kilos. I have stopped exercising after that and didnot have the time to diet either but have dropped kilos since last year and this year i am down to 52 kgs. I eat a lot now, do yoga once or twice a week but that is all. I am concerned because i dont know the cause of my weight loss. I eat healthy, feel healthy although occasional feel tired and fatigued and sometimes feel depressed. i dont know if all this is normal or if i shud worry. My body metabolism seems to dissolve all the food without gaining an inch? is that normal?

I am not sure what your target weight is, but it sounds to me that when losing the initial amount you developed a healthier relationship to food and stopped using it to handle stress, so now you are  a normal eater, eating when hungry, and your own natural body controls are taking over....if you are at , or getting to, the weight you want, then everything seems okay..
