Weightissues

I've really struggled with the side effects of Prednisone and how it's affected my moods and my physical appearance. How are some ways you've been managing with meds side effects ?
I stepped on the scale earlier this week and I'm 22kg above my target weight. Before I got my diagnosis and started my treatment I was already above my target weight and struggling to shed a few kilos. I've heard about counting calories and always thought it was overrated. I honestly did give up with my weight at one point but I'm ready to work towards my goal and be comfortable in my skin again, and in my jeans haha. I've started counting calories and I'm trying to stay fixed on doing a 30 minute walk every day. Counting calories allows me to still enjoy my sweet tooth cravings but now I'm more aware of what I put into my body and how I'm using my energy. I'm already feeling better for it. I'm very excited to see my progress over the next few months.

Since the pandemic and the loackdown I gained weight. Well, for myself I really feel good about my body I don’t mind the extra weight as I like my body in every way. But, I can’t help feeling down and uncomfortable in my own skin from all the body shaming and comments from my mother about the couple kilos that I’ve gained. At first I would say that I look lovely in every way possible and that I like how in look. Then the comments started to increase and that made me defensive although I know I don’t have to. However I started a diet and loss the extra couple of kilos. Unfortunately the body shaming haven’t stopped at all. I already have bad eating disorder to start with and started to skip meals from all the pressure on me from my mother. What really hurts is that she didn’t even notice the loss in weight or me skipping meals on the contrary she started judging me whenever I eat even if it was an apple. She just look and me and the ask “ are you really going to eat that too!! “ please tell me how to deal with that. I don’t feel comfortable in my own room. I lock the door on me and she just enter the room to say the same words all over again. I want to know how to convince her to leave me alone I have the power to return to eating healthy meals in time. But, she is too much I can’t Handel her. And she started to talk about that in front of others. #BodyShaming #EatingDisorders #Depression #Familytroubles #Weightissues #weightgain #

I had my first trip to the doctor in forever for my wellness exam. I have gained so much weight and I have never been this heavy in my life. I realized that I need to make a change for the better. I’m not afraid of hard work and I realize it will be hard. Any tips on getting started? Thanks friends! #Weightissues

So I didn’t get a job that I really wanted in Alaska. I still want to be in Alaska but the only way I can afford to move if I cash out on retirement. I can’t keep doing that when I want to move somewhere. It’s heart breaking and frustrating. Some districts will help with relocation costs but only when you turn in receipts. Meanwhile, I got hired on the spot to work for a state park/lake area for 1-2 months. I am quitting the Dollar General. Only had the job for two weeks but physically at my weight and standing all day, my feet and back hurt like nothing else at night. I can’t do it. Tonight I had to kneel down to get something and it took me like several tries to get up. It was humiliating and thank god there was no around. I need to lose at least 140 pounds but I always sabotage any effort with emotional eating or stress eating. I can’t keep going on like this. My feet hurt all the time. I’m just over everything. I did get a job and free for teaching in a nearby district, but pay is lower than I expected. I would be able to pay bills but nothing extra on my debt. That’s the whole point of moving to Alaska so I can get out of debt faster. But I don’t have the money to move so I will be taking the job offer. Just sucks. #Daydream #Weightissues #self -sabotage

I am angry.
Simply mad.

Two weeks in a row, I have gained 3 lbs. I am not pregnant. I eat two meals a day and am satisfied. I’ve cut soda to one or two a day, and that has been a challenge. I drink at least 2 bottles of water a day.

And yet, here I am, gaining weight.

I have had insecurities with my weight for some time now. In July of 2017, my symptoms for a still not diagnosed autoimmune disorder started sprouting. Symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, joint pain, and of course weight gain. Now, I’ve never been a skinny minny. Genetics has blessed me with butt and boob fat as well as some in the middle. That never bothered me. Now, here I am at my highest weight, 212 lbs, and I am angry.

I am angry at myself because I don’t know what my body is trying to do. I am angry at my body for hurting me like it does and making it harder for me to be active and have a normal life. I am angry because I feel like I need to work harder to lose weight, but my body is doing what it can to stop me. So much anger resides in me, yet on the outside you just see a confident 25 year old who is working on her Master’s degree, has a great life, has a loving boyfriend, and has a precious pupper.

Part of me says I should just give up on this attempt to find answers. Maybe I’m just a fatty because I made myself that way. Maybe I am meant to be sick forever for some wrongdoing I don’t know about. I try so hard, but nothing helps.

All I can do now is keep pushing and keep going in this endless emotional cycle of anger and disappointment in myself.

Ever since I was a little I have had weight problems. I got picked on by a lot of kids in my school. I even had people gang up on me just because I was the biggest kid in my class. Since then I have been battling this inner demons telling me “You’re always gonna be fat & ugly!!” Now that I’m an adult it stuck with me. Earlier in my adult life I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes because of my poor eating habits. To make a long story short, I started taking care of myself. I ate right, exercise regularly and lost a total of 94 lbs. But deep down inside I still feel fat. I suffer from #BPD & #ADHD so my inner demons kept taunting me. I look in the mirror and felt disgusted. They don’t seem to go away and the demons stayed permanently in my head. I just wanted to feel content and happy with myself. Why is it so hard?! I feel like it’s never gonna be enough for me. #Weightissues #bullied #Noconfidence #DiabetesType2 #Mentallillness
