Hey all, I’m a lurker and decided it’s finally time I bite the bullet and ask for some encouragement, advice, pretty much anything you can give me.
Back in May I started phentramine. This magical weight loss drug. And I lost weight on it. As of September I was 4lbs short of losing 50lbs. I didn’t binge, I didn’t eat half as much, and the meds made it so I didn’t even want to eat. Hell, half the time I wasn’t even hungry. After 4 months I thought that maybe I can handle it by myself.
Flash forward to now, 2 months off of it, 10lbs back and counting. I can’t manage to control my hunger, I don’t have the energy to work out like I did on the meds, I’ve lost all discipline and want. I feel like a failure. Like I can only lose the weight on medication. I’m about to go to my doctor and ask for another run.
My husband is a huge supporter and will do anything with me that I do to help me. But I feel defeated, overwhelmed, and I don’t know where to start. I felt so good losing the weight in every aspect. I still had about 80lbs to lose to get to my goal and a healthy weight but I felt great and I just let it all go.
I was really into calorie counting, but I’m a mom of 4 kids 5 and under. The time it took, even a few minutes, were killing me. The time to meal prep is a chore that I don’t feel like I have time for. I feel like I’ve hit a mental wall.
But, I need to start again. and so, I need to post here. I need accountability, I need someone who felt or feels the same way to say it’s okay. I don’t know what I need. But, maybe if I post I’ll feel like I have to work on it.
My starting weight before was 286, down to 234. My goal is 170
Now, SW 244, GW 170
