I’m a 20 y/o trans guy (been on t for about a year and a half). In college, but my parents won’t let me work so I rely on them for everything. Currently 5’3 and fluctuate between 250lbs-257lbs. Recovering from an eating disorder.
I know I need to lose weight. I’m a size 42-44 waist, and that’s the upper limit of a lot of stores. No plastic surgeon will take me for top surgery. My endocrinologist and her staff have been pushing me to lose weight. My primary pushes me to lose weight. Heck, I go to urgent care because of a UTI and I get a little slip on my way out telling me to eat less.
But my parents are apprehensive about letting me start to lose weight. I have EDNOS, and my main thing is extreme restriction. Granted, the only time I’ve ever lost weight was when I was starving myself. Healthy methods of weight loss have never worked. I could eat right, and exercise all the time, and still gain weight.
I think the key moment for me was when I was denied ECT (I have bipolar). I was 0.2 BMI points over the weight cutoff. They told me to talk to my psychiatrist about naltrexone. I’m thinking about asking him about it at my next visit, but I doubt he’ll approve it since it’s so hard on the liver.
My parents won’t do anything. Like I said, I rely on them for everything. My mom buys gross unhealthy food that upsets my stomach, and we eat at fast food places frequently (I get no choice in the matter). My parents won’t sign me up for a gym or take me there (they won’t let me drive). They won’t sign me up for a coaching program or exercise subscription service.
I’m getting bigger and bigger and it feels like I can’t do anything about it. I need a way out.
My goal is to lose 100lbs right now. That will put me well within the limit to have top surgery, and I’ll be much thinner
