I was put on an antidepressant, which I now regret and eventually quit taking. After researching, I found that the antidepressant suppresses testosterone. I was doing CrossFit before my second child, where I was in the best shape of my life but exhausted and overtrained. After my daughter, I went into a “hybrid” program, lifting and training for a half marathon. (I gained weight and looked puffy.) Then I thought, okay, I’ll do a marathon and hybrid train. (I do want to lose weight and look fit.) But I’ve stopped that.
My next question is about macros. I’ve counted macros for a while, and I feel like I’m eating enough. How would I know the difference between eating too much, which would explain the weight plateau/gain, versus still overtraining/under eating?
It gets so discouraging and frustrating when I just want to be comfortable in my own skin but also be the best version of myself for my husband and kids. I’m drained mentally at the complexity of it when I try to do it all and I’m stuck looking like an average Joe that doesn’t work out, even though I can lift and move fairly well.
