| Posted: 03 May 2020 03:26 PM PDT I went from 300 pounds to 220 in the past 11 months. I've done it the old fashioned way by exercising and cutting down my calories. I'd still like to lose another 20 or so but I'm also happy with where I'm at. I'd probably be down the last 20 if the gyms were still open and my son wasn't the recipient of a Make-a-Wish wish where we gifted a week long vacation to Disney World. I think I packed on 10 pounds that week. The Make-a-Wish foundation is seriously amazing and I would encourage everyone reading this to either donate to their local chapter or volunteer with them. They make a huge difference in the lives of both sick kids and their families. I can't express enough how amazing that foundation is.

| I did it! 20lbs down since March 29, 2020! Posted: 03 May 2020 04:51 AM PDT Little background about me: I've been considered in the obese BMI since high school, senior year 2009 I was in the high 170s. 2009-2020 I just ballooned up to 200lbs through bad eating habits, no exercise and depression. Of course I've tried to lose the weight over the years through doing programs like Optavia but my heart was never really committed. Idk something just clicked during this quarantine/stay at home order. I had two options.
March 29, 2020 I stepped on my scale, I weighed 200lbs with a 39% body fat according to my smart scale, and a a 12 on visceral fat. May 3, 2020. Scale currently reflects 179.8 with a 34.3% body fat and 11 for visceral fat! I'm super excited and more motivated than ever! I honestly can't believe I let my mind hold me back al these years. What I've learned so far:
Advice 1. Set small goals and non scale victories 2. Don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't change or if the weight fluctuates. Keep doing what you're doing, it's working. Trust me 3. Eat your greens! My go to is Romaine Lettuce and cucumbers topped with some Salsa. I eat that every day with various proteins. 4. Get outside and Walk! Walking is so beneficial to your health. Try to get at least 30/60 minutes in a day. 5. Track and weigh everything! I know it's a pain in the butt to log every day but I think one of the reasons I wasn't successful in the past is because I didn't log every day and I would constantly misjudge the food I was eating and overeat my calorie for the day. 6. Get yourself a smart watch or tracker, it's worth it. Lastly, tomorrow is a new day, don't beat yourself up for having one bad day. You can eat the foods you love, just be mindful and plan for it during the day. :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 May 2020 10:01 AM PDT I saw this image today - How You Lose Body Fat - and it really resonated with me. I admit that I have become increasingly more impatient and frustrated while I am tracking CICO, since there are no immediate changes that I can see even though I'm in a calorie deficit. Fat is stubborn just like me. Stubbornness is similar to perseverance, which is a trait needed for success. From the article:
We are all on our own journey. Even the cells that make up my body have their own journey. Perhaps, this is a time to practice compassion - to not only to myself, but also to these little fat cells. It's hard to be patient when my attitude is merely thinking of myself, that I certainly don't need the extra fat cells. Though, these fat cells don't realize there are too many of them; they are simply doing their best to survive to give me the energy I need to survive, which I appreciate. Weight loss has heavily consumed my thoughts recently. Dealing with stubborn fat is exhausting and frustrating, and I simply do not want to think about it so much anymore. This image reminded me that there is only so much I can control. So, I dedicated the extra time needed to revise my CICO spreadsheet, reviewing and updating everything, after researching a bit more to further my understanding on how to achieve my weight loss goals. This plan and how I execute it is what I can control. If I don't succeed, it will be because I did not follow the plan or there is something out of my control intervening (example: unknown underlying health issue). If I am disciplined and diligent, I am confident that I will succeed since I'm prepared with a sound strategy and a more accepting, patient mindset. Cheers to shrinking fat cells! [link] [comments] |
| I am officially the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Ugh Posted: 03 May 2020 07:23 AM PDT I (40/F - 5'6") have been laid off since April 5th, due to COVID. I have put all my free time to good use by doing a ton of home projects such as remodeling my kitchen, painting my house, lawn care, etc. I figured (with my fatty brain) this would make me shed some pounds due the increase in activity (desk job). I did not take into account that I have been stuffing my face with garbage since day one, and this fact slapped me right in the kisser this morning when I stepped on the scale. 223 lbs. My god. I have never been this big. Not even when I was pregnant. I weigh more than my dad. Devastation has set in. I am going start today with the Dr. Now's low carb, 1200 cal/day plan (600 lb life fans know what I'm sayin). The thought of it depresses me, but I have been reading through people's success stories and it gives me hope and inspiration. Thank you for this sub and all the people that post - I am going to read them every time I feel tempted. My goal is to be one of you soon! [link] [comments] |
| Just celebrating some loses .. feel free to skip/ignore .. Posted: 03 May 2020 11:03 PM PDT I've been in coronavirus lockdown, and I was afraid I'd start eating all the food I put aside to prepare for being in lockdown, so I went on a strict 1500 cal/day diet, and OMG .. I've lost SO much weight. I'm reluctant to say how much because I've seen that there are people who just go on and on about "dangerous .." and "too much .." and all that, and I just don't want to hear it, I'd rather just be happy I've lost so much weight. Best of all it has been pretty easy. I mean I'm a little bit hungry and times during the day, but not that much, certainly not as much as I expected. I did calculations with the NIH body calculator and made graphs of what it projected my weight would be over time and amazingly it's almost spot on so far, my weight loss has been following that graph with bumps and dives along the way almost exactly. Anyway, I don't have anyone to be happy with so I decided to be happy with ya'll. :) [link] [comments] |
| 45 pounds down!!!! AND NSV I can finally fit into shorts!!! Posted: 03 May 2020 12:20 PM PDT I decided to post this here because I don't have anywhere/anyone else to get exited about this with because I'm nervous to talk about this stuff with the people in my life. Sorry this is probably going to be really long. I have been trying to loose weight all of my life it seems because I used food as a coping/punishment for myself growing up and in August I had a Shane Dawsony not really a wake up call but a moment where I was like I need to treat myself better moment. Where I went to an amusement park with my family and I couldn't fit on one of the rides and I lied and told my family that the ride attendant told me the seat was broken when when I was just too fat for the seat to close. All that day I was really down on my self and after a day of riding the 5 rides I knew I would fit on and walking all day my feet hurt so bad and I have never felt that upset and I realized that I didn't want to treat myself the way I was anymore because it was really starting to impact my life. So I made small changes and forget about all of the fad diets that I had tried in the past and focus more on my nutrition very very loosley checking macros (just making sure I eat all of the food groups and not just one) cooking at home, eating regular set meals, learning more about my hunger cues, drinking more water less soda(I still have a can of soda everyday or every other day just making sure it's not the only thing I drink) and slowly I mean really slowly getting into some exercise it's mainly been a lot of walking/ speed walking and I'm interested in learning more about easy beginner exercises (recommendations please) The NSV side of this post is that I am able to fit into the shorts I have had for 3 years that I used as goal shorts. The goal being that I would be able to fit into shorts at Walmart because for a while I was too large they are tight but they button up!! Hello cute fun summer gay clothes I have been waiting for you! [link] [comments] |

| I’m a fat and lazy who can’t keep a diet or workout routine for more then a month Posted: 04 May 2020 01:21 AM PDT Hi, I'm a 16 year old female and iv been fat my whole life. Since my birth iv been overweight (I was a 10 pound baby) and although when I was younger I could just blame my parents or over feeding me sweets and fats, but now I can't blame anyone. I'm a teenager on the verge of adulthood and I'm obese and can't even run. It's so embarrassing. Everytime I try to lose weight, go on a diet, work out. I quit. I can't stick to anything. Not only that but I'm addicted to sugars and greasy food. And the worse part is I constantly have the fatty foods available. My parents provide the food for me. And I know I cannot blame them and I am not blaming them at all. But they definitely arnt making it easier. I honestly don't know what to do. I have never felt comfortable in my own body. I look at myself in the mirror and cry I hate myself. I cannnot express how much I want to lose weight. I am so fat and ugly. I'm so lazy and unhealthy. Why can't I just stick to a diet and workout routine? What's wrong with me? Why am I like this? Currently I am 250lb and 5ft 6inch, I was 240lb but iv gained weight from being home so much due to quarantine. I want to be 140lb by the time I'm 18. I want to be able to wear a pretty prom dress and and look good in my graduation gown. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and be happy with what I see. I want to be able to live longer then what is expected of me now. I don't know where to start, what to do, how to do it. Someone please help me. I have never wanted to lose weight as bad as I do right now. My self esteem has never been so low. I constantly am disgusted in myself. Help me please. [link] [comments] |
| Slow progress is still progress Posted: 03 May 2020 04:09 PM PDT This subreddit has been super instrumental to my weight loss journey (even though I mostly just lurked), and I am so so proud of everybody who is able to share their success stories. However, for anybody else out there looking at this group and feeling a bit discouraged that they aren't losing weight as quickly as other people have been able to, please know that there are a lot of us going through something similar! It took me(24 F, SW:215lbs CW:195), almost 2 whole years to lose 20 lbs, but progress is still progress and a little patience with yourself goes a long way. Just because you're not losing weight quickly doesn't mean it's not a goal worth pursuing! [link] [comments] |
| No clue how much I have lost but I have kept up a work out routine for 3 weeks now. Posted: 03 May 2020 01:58 PM PDT I am fully aware that losing weight is a lot of things including a balanced diet and physical exercise and sleep and more but I am very proud of myself for keeping up a work out routine. I have been doing DDPYoga and with my son 3-4 times a week for past 3 weeks. This is huge for me. I have documented proof (in the DDPYogaNow App) that since I found that program in 2016, I never got passed finishing 2 weeks. I am starting my 4th week and I am excited for more. I have motivated my best friend and my brother to work out as well. It feels great. Also, I don't know how much I weigh because while my scale does technically hold up to 500lbs, I can't seem to get an accurate number. I am currently around the 465lb-480lb range and on one day I have seen it fluctuate between those number everytime I step off and step back on. I don't trust it but I trust that I am feel better about myself emotionally and I can get off the floor more easily. So wish me luck in my continued success at bettering myself and those around me and if anyone knows about a reliable scale please let me know. [link] [comments] |
| Maintenance Monday: Optimism and Realism Posted: 04 May 2020 01:39 AM PDT Reached your goal weight and in need of a space to discuss your maintenance journey with others who have gone or are going through similar experiences? Welcome to the weekly Maintenance Monday thread, for weight loss maintainers! Whether you're new to maintenance and don't believe your TDEE can be that high or wondering how to increase your calories, you've been around a while and want to get advice during times of struggle or the holidays, or if you're keeping on as normal, this place is for you! (If you're losing weight, community threads are posted daily and weekly, linked in the side bar, as well as the daily US and European 30 Day Challenge.) What did you hope for from maintenance and what's your reality been? What are your hopes for the future and what do you think might actually happen? Maybe you hoped your stomach would shrink, but your tastes simply changed for the better. Maybe you hope to move toward intuitive eating long-term, but know that for now you have emotional eating tendencies left to overcome when times get hard. Maybe you just hoped reaching maintenance would be a check box you'd tick and never think about again, but really what maintenance means changes, as things do. Let us know! Anything else on your mind pertaining to maintenance? Is your diet going effortlessly, or have the last few weeks been more of a struggle? All questions, remarks and worries are welcome topics of conversation! [link] [comments] |

| 30lbs Down, My method, progress pics and a question. Posted: 03 May 2020 07:24 AM PDT Stats: Female, 5'8", Start Weight: 190lbs, Goal Weight: 145-150lbs for now, Current Weight: 159.8lbs Hi everyone! Glad to be here! My journey started in late January after weaning my youngest. Since I didn't need extra calories to make milk anymore, I just wasn't as hungry as often so it made sense to just start. I'm generally a pretty movement oriented person. I like to be outside with my kids, I enjoy being active, when I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding I play sports. I take my dog on lots of walks or bike rides. I dont love sitting still, so the "move more" half of CICO has always been there. However, when breastfeeding or pregnant (Which I was, non-stop, for 4 years) I was just always hungry, so I was always eating. I didn't gain more than 20lbs when pregnant, but I never lost the 20 between the two, so it added up. So, what I've been doing is making sure to only eat when I'm hungry, and then, I only eat to satiety. I dont count calories, I dont watch what I eat, I simply listen to my bodies cues. I've noticed after 4 months or this that my intake capacity is definitely going down- I get uncomfortable much earlier in a meal than I ever have, which i assume is my stomach shrinking. So, here is the question: My theory is that eventually the calories that I'm eating when I'm hungry will be my required calories for a maintenance weight, and at that point I will stop losing, whatever it is. Does that make sense? Is that a healthy way to view things? I'm open to getting anywhere down between 135lbs and 150lbs. [link] [comments] |
| I’m questioning my choices and at this point it’s the merry-go-round of “I’ll improve one day” Posted: 03 May 2020 11:19 PM PDT Hello, so I'm a F(20) who is 5'3" and 168 pounds. I know this is grossly unhealthy. But I have more to say. I've always been chubby except in 2017 when I got MAJOR anxiety and depression. I couldn't eat during those times and got down to 127 from around the 140s range simply because I could barely stomach food. In either the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018, I started taking 60 mg of Paroxetine for panic + anxiety and depression. (Previously I had also used CBD and it helped somewhat but not to the degree I needed). I'm still on 60mg of Paroxetine to this day, and my weight just keeps going up and up. As I wrote, I'm at 168/9 now, the heaviest I've ever been. The Paroxetine did help me get my life back together but I still have major anxiety over being alone (It doesn't matter where I am, I just can't be alone without other people in sight (even just strangers), and I refuse to take elevators alone and am trying petrified to death of any type of event where a person needs to be alone alone. The medication truly helps with a lot of anxiety I used to have but obviously I still have issues. I feel so lost. I've tried CICO, paleo, keto, Whole 30, taking daily walks, trying to fill my day with chores for bodily movement, but I keep getting bigger. I will say I don't have any confidantes in my life and food is probably my first comfort. I especially feel like the there's no hope especially being on antidepressants, is there? I've heard so many horror stories and horrendous reactions from people trying to come off their antidepressant medication. [link] [comments] |
| I need some strength to loseit despite my unsupportive family. (26f, 5'7" 244lb) Posted: 03 May 2020 08:40 PM PDT I think I am at my breaking point. I've been trying to take care of my body, eat better and exercise. I have binge eating disorder and have struggled with it since I was a kid. Mom always played up the "we're so poor, we may have to go without for a while :(" bs and as a result, I was afraid of not having food and often binged/hid food for later. I haven't been thin since I was maybe 12, even then I was more muscle than anything. At 13 I started to get chubby, at 18 I got a job at McDonald's and ballooned, and now every few years it seems like I hit another bump in the road and go up a size. Now I'm right around 244 pounds, severely unhappy, in a lot of physical pain, and my family is not helping. Tonight my brother came over and was talking with my parents. From my room I could hear that they had started whispering, and my mom was scolding them for talking about me. I went out into the hall to listen to them talk about how fat I am, how I'm going to "end up like (my aunt)" or die, or both, or how I just don't try hard enough. Mom defended me at first and said I was working with doctors, then left and went outside. Dad, who had been defending me against him, started talking about how "greedy" I am with food. Brother was getting angry, talking about the MAXIMUM amount of calories he thinks I need to stay alive. *No, confronting him doesn't work, he doesn't get ashamed or embarrassed to be humiliating me, he just digs in his heels and says it to my face that I'm disgusting. (My whole family does this, they think it's "constructive" or helpful to tell me that I'm morbidly obese and killing myself.) My aunt and I have the same eating disorder and we've bonded through our struggle. We've talked before about when she was at her thinnest; she was literally starving herself, only allowed to eat one meal of the same thing every day, working out 4 hours per day, and it was completely unsustainable (and of course after some time, it couldn't be kept up and she gained the weight back.) But my family LOVED her when she was thin. My family is OBSESSED with skinniness. I've talked to my aunt before about my family's obsession, and she agrees with me that they will only be happy with me if I am starving myself and can see bones. I am once again trying to pick myself up and get going. I've been walking, even though it's painful (New Balance shoes aren't shit; whenever I wear my sneakers it feels like my ankle will break. I ordered some new Saucony sneakers that I hope will be more supportive and not make my ankle feel like it is going to snap.) Those shoes are arriving tomorrow and I WAS really excited to go out in them and try to jog. I haven't been able to run since I was a kid, the most I do is the polite jog across the crosswalk to get out of the way of cars. Now though, I've been learning about running and even looking at 5Ks here in town that I would like to work my way up to. But hearing my family talk about me tonight just feels like a crushing defeat. Like my options are either "stay fat, keep bingeing" or "1200 calories a day" I want to get better so that I can be healthier and feel better about myself. I don't want to do it just to spite them. I feel like I am at a turning point and I can either get healthy on my own terms, or I will end up falling to their whims and starving myself like I desperately want to tonight out of spite. Anyone with unsupportive or downright mean family... How do you keep going when it feels like they just hate you, like you will never be enough? I feel like getting into bed and never getting back up. [link] [comments] |
| [SV] Lost 20 lbs since December. Just the beginning Posted: 03 May 2020 10:43 PM PDT SW: 260, CW: 240 GW: 170. Height: 5'8-5'9, Male. I feel SO GOOD. My blood pressure dropped, no more aches across my shoulders, neck arteries, arms. No more warm flushed face. I was in so much pain and discomfort. My varicose veins don't hurt as much. Knee and hip pains have lessened. Exercise is easier! I feel less brain fog. I can think more clearly. Mood has improved. Things that I've learned: Restaurants, delis, fast food: prepared outside food, they're OUT TO KILL YOU You're an addict, they need you coming back for another hit. They're not your friends, they're your dealer. Prepare your own food!!!! Use less oil, less salt, less sugar! Control your hunger! Hunger is a powerful instinct trigger - maybe the most powerful. So I recommend do weight loss SLOWWWWW: First change WHAT you eat: Limit eating processed liquid fats, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils. Oils are very calorie dense but not filling. Whole carbs! Carbs are not your enemy. My diet is 70% carbs. I eat a lot of brown rice, low starch potatoes, and nutritious veggies, fruits. I eat the rainbowwww. Limit protein too .... oooo controversial! Ask any dietitian. We don't need that much protein after a certain age. You will get enough I promise. Most Westerners and Obese people overall eat too much protein. This might be you. After you condition yourself to eating healthier, junk food will make you feel SICK. I had french fries 5 hrs ago and I still feel like shit. Then gradually start to eat less. I use intermittent fasting, of course. But find what works for you! Remember your body is a reflection of your lifestyle. Just change your lifestyle and your body will change. I used to think those popular fad gimmicky diets were my ticket but I was wrong. I kept failing on them for years. Yo-yo'd my weight. I eventually found what worked for me, and it was a common sense, wholesome, varied diet. Thanks for reading. Wish me luck to reaching a healthy weight!!! [link] [comments] |
| Admitting to myself that I need to lose weight. Posted: 03 May 2020 09:42 PM PDT I finally weighed myself today for the first time in a long time. 236 pounds. The highest I've ever been. I used to be so obsessed with my weight, it made me so miserable. Being single for the past two years has taught me how to love myself, and part of that love has been changing the way I view my body. Even though this is a good thing, it's made me believe it's okay to eat what I want and be overweight, as long as I'm happy. And yeah, I'm happy, I like my curves, I'm the happiest I've ever been with myself and my body, but I need to realise that doesn't make it okay... I will love myself even more if I'm healthier, I know that. I want to lose weight so bad, but I also don't really want to. I love food, I love not thinking about calories and fat, I love just eating what I feel like and not worrying about it. And that means it's going to be so hard. I'm going to have to force myself to do it. I'm 22 this year and I really don't want to waste what's left of my youth being fat. I have 100 pounds to lose. Here goes nothing. [link] [comments] |
| 40 pounds (17kg) down, just wanted to share my thoughts and give some advice! Posted: 03 May 2020 04:27 PM PDT I started counting my calories at the beginning of the year and I've managed to lose 40lbs so far! I still have a long way to go but I'm incredibly proud of my progress. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and this is the first time I've ever been able to stick to a 'diet' for so long. The advice people give here and in similar subs helped me a lot so I wanted to give some as well! So, I have three important things to share: First, I've learned that one of the most important things for weight loss is patience. At the beginning I used to step on the scale every day and feel defeated when the number hadn't moved or had gone up. It took me a while to figure out that my weight flunctuates A LOT. Most of the time my scale doesn't move for more than a week at a time, then I lose 2lbs in a day. Some days out of curiosity I weigh myself in the morning and before going to bed and I'm a few pounds heavier, which is crazy! Especially considering the things I've eaten that day don't weigh that much combined!! However weight just does that, so a little patience is needed. Just do your thing and wait it out, trust me results will come! Second, if you're doing cico, track absolutely everything. This has been probably the thing that has kept me going the most. Track even when you go over your calories. Days like that happen, so don't beat yourself up over it. I promise that extra little something that's 300cals over your calorie budget won't ruin the progress you've made so far! And last, I want to advise people to get an accountability buddy! I can't explain how nice and encouraging it is to talk to someone about the little ups and downs of dieting that you're going through together. (Not to mention meal ideas and recipe sharing!!!) I hope this helps someone out there! Thanks for reading. :) (stats for the curious: 24F 5'2 SW220CW180) edit: sorry about the mistake in the lbs/kg in the title! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 May 2020 10:46 PM PDT I just want to preface this by saying: I know if it gets worse I need to see a professional to hold me accountable... I've always been in this endless cycle trying to lose weight (never works, because I think I'm addicted to eating like someone is addicted to alcohol) but I can usually keep over eating somewhat under control (not enough to lose weight - I'm obese, but seem to be able to keep my weight the same, I just don't seem to be able to lose weight for longer than 3 months (except for a year period about 10 years ago). Anyway, due to COVID, I've been in a very stressful living situation that is likely to continue for about 6 months... I'm binge eating terribly on my way home from work... I'm trying my best to stop... but the urges and quantities seem to be getting bigger over the last few weeks Seeing as there's always a wait list to see a specialist, does anyone have any tips or advice I can work through now while I consider seeing a psych?

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 3 Posted: 03 May 2020 01:55 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Sunday! I hope you guys are rocking it. Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): I shall face the scale on Monday my friends. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): 1550 ish planned. I may have snuck a couple tastes of hummus & chickpeas too, very hard to log so guestimating was involved. I owe this progress to myself, no ifs, ands or buts. Exercise 5 days a week: Walked my pokemons along the river trail. 2/3 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/3 days): I'm about to log some reading & journaling time. Try a new recipe once a week: Sweet roasted chickpeas so far. 1/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not today. X/50 pages. No fast food, candy from the work dish or Starbucks: Check. Easy because of no work candy bowl today. 3 day(s). Listen to my effing body: Eyeball is way better today. My body was way more in tune with a long walk than it was last weekend & for that I'm grateful. And I wore sunscreen because otherwise I'd be pink & grouchy about it. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I saw a herd of deer running along & then splashing through a river. Sometimes nature really hands you a high five when you need it. I do not live in an area where I get to see them & I did grow up with them in my yard some days. It was genuinely lovely. Especially the derpy one bringing up the rear. You could practically hear the "hey guys, wait up!" Your turn lovely losers. [link] [comments] |
| I realized that I get frustrated about not losing weight but I haven’t been putting in any work. Posted: 03 May 2020 07:53 AM PDT This quarantine sucks. I was doing so well before this all started. Lost 30 lbs, gained muscle mass, felt energized. Then the quarantine started and that's where shit hit the fan. It started with eating out of boredom. Checking the fridge every 30 minutes to see if things have magically appeared. Snacking alongside my kids. Ordering DoorDash because it's so convenient! I gained back all the weight I lost, lost majority of the muscle mass I gained. I feel sick, I feel fat, I AM fat! But yesterday, I decided that enough was enough. Today I turned 31 and I will no longer live my life like this. I decided that I would stop using the quarantine as an excuse and get myself back to being healthy. My plan is to walk/jog twice a day for at least a mile each time. Do some home workouts with whatever I have available, and most importantly, change up my diet. I'm going to cut off all sugary drinks, limit my carb intake and up my vegetable intake. No more DoorDash. No more snacking out of boredom (which became a bore itself so I stopped a few weeks ago). No more sitting around doing NOTHING. I'm looking up some free workout videos online to assist and also going to make myself accountable by taking a picture of myself every day. Does anyone have any other tips to help me stay on track? [link] [comments] |
| Gained all weight back. (Tw ED) Posted: 03 May 2020 03:37 PM PDT Tiny vent post because fuck it. During 2019 I went from around 150 to 115 pounds. I got my binging under control by sticking to a good routine. I had food stamps so I wasn't worried about not having access to food. Then several things happened. I started an entirely new routine by getting a job at the local mall. I couldn't cook anymore, I was too tired after work. I started new anti depressants, and I finally got on testosterone bc lol trans. Then I lost my job after my boss found out I'm autistic. That was January. Since then I've changed medications multiple times, quarantine started... And my dissosiative disorder exploded which made eating shitty. Fuck, living with my grandfather makes it shitty already because he's a diabetic that insists on gorging himself on sweets and buying nothing but red meat and junk food. Knowing that something is right there and will be for in DAYS before I can even think of eating it triggers each hint of food insecurity from my childhood. Hen I was losing weight and then maintaining a healthy weight he kept going on about how I need to eat more. I'm 5'1 I do not need to eat so much that I'm fucking 150 pounds. Now he's calling me stuffing my face with 3500 calories healthy. Then I lost food stamps and I don't know if I'm getting them back yet. Now I've started binge eating where I don't know what I'm doing until after I've eaten. Today I looked it up and it's probably the fucking abilify. Compulsive binge eating is a side effect! I literally can't stop myself. I've gotten everything else mellowed out, I'm on what works, except I genuinely can't stop eating until I'm in pain from how full I am. My old psychatrist is gone and my first appointment with my new one is in nine days. Looking at my body makes me feel sick. I don't even want to be awake or leave my room because the moment I do I'll grab and eat something before I can think about it. Earlier I tried to make myself throw up for the first time in a year. I don't know how everything went to shit in less than five months, and I barely even remember that time happening in the first place because of dissosiative amnesia. I feel like I just woke up fat again. Thankfully my therapist appointment is tomorrow and I'm going to have to spill my metaphorical guts. Fuck abilify. [link] [comments] |
