I am overweight. My doctor says I need to lose weight for health benefits. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know how I can lose 80 pounds quickly and safely? Please tell me all the healthy foods I can eat to lose weight, easy tricks, and how I can keep my weight off forever. It would mean the world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off forever. I was on Adipex (a weight loss medication prescribed by doctors) years ago and it damaged my skin caused really bad acne scarring on my face and even worse I gained back more weight than I was before eventually. I don’t want to tell anyone my weight, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Please don’t comment telling me how it’s okay to be overweight or you struggle with your weight too because that doesn’t help and nobody wants to be fat unless if you’re stupid #MentalHealth #CheckInWithMe #Obesity #MightyTogether #Disability #Anxiety #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Depression #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #BipolarDepression #Bipolar2 #Psychosis #Trauma #Selfcare #Selfharm #Suicide #SuicidalThoughts #SuicidalIdeation #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #ADHD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #ChronicIllness #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder

Dating is hard, dating with chronic illnesses is even harder

I was told I suck, I’m lazy, and oh yea the gluten free food I can eat is terrible. You might be asking, “Why would someone say this?”. Because I had to cancel dinner plans due to a flareup. I guess I need to date a few frogs before I meet Prince Charming but man, can the next frog be a little nicer?

I tend to open up about my health early because I’m always nervous I will have a flareup, I’ll need to cancel, and they won’t understand. Welp even if you tell someone, they still might not listen/understand and resort to calling you names.

Anyone have similar experiences? I feel like I need to write a book at this point, “Dating stories: Chronic Illness Edition”.

Newbie here!

Hello! I am Novastarr 😊. I found this app after reading a post about loneliness in an MS Society email. I have been pretty down and out lately, wanting to do nothing but play games on my iPad. I go days at a time without checking my email or doing anything slightly resembling productivity. I’m glad I got motivated today and found this group to give me somewhere to express myself to people who understand it all!

Procrastinating what I love

Somebody tell me how I can go to the library and get myself a book that I know I will enjoy and I love to read, but I am sitting here with this book in my lap, and I can’t make myself read. I procrastinate even the things that I love doing. I’m procrastinating right now by being on my phone and leaving this post🤦‍♀️. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Love going to the library. I know I will love the books that I got. I love to read. Once I make myself start reading, I won’t be able to stop myself. So why is it so hard to make myself start? Makes no sense!

Hello 👋🏼

Hi everyone! I am new to this group. I live with Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia and chronic kidney disease. I also have anxiety as a result of living with these conditions. Consequently I am exhausted most of the time and struggle to accomplish things in my life. Nice to meet everyone and hear everyone’s stories here.

Morning Migraine

Good morning Mighty Fam! Woke at 4am with a migraine but thank God it has passed. I got up and got one rizatriptan and two excedrin and microwaved my axolot heating pad my bestie gave me. Laid back down for an hour and a half and miraculously the pain passed. Thank You Lord. I have work today that has to be done either way so I am glad I am migraine free. I wake often with migraine. When I can make it go away in the first couple hours I am usually good. But if it doesn’t go away in an hour or two with meds and heat it means the rest of the day gonna be varying migraine pain. Migraines suck! (Pic is the heating pad my bestie gave me and my two doggies that keep me company when I am feeling bad) #Migraine #Headache #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Sarcoidosis #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #MightyPets
