you say you are not overweight and do not state your weight so it seems that focusing on the scale isn't the right answer. instead focus on creating a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable and above all enjoyable. incorporate healthy habits that make you feel good like regular exercise and eating fruits vegetables whole grains lean protein sources low fat dairy healthy fats and sensibly include energy-dense foods you really love. aim to get the right amount o food for your body by providing yourself with regular balanced meals eating at the table and stopping when satisfied and comfortably full. avoid eating in front of the tv or as a way to handle stress. a recent study with women around your age showed that those who were at a normal weight but dissatisfied with their bodies gained more weight over time than those satisfied with their bodies. if you chase the perfect body and diet frequently it may increase your risk of future weight gain. take the time to create a healthy lifestyle that fits your preferences and the right weight for you will follow. good luck!
