I have struggled over the last few years to lose weight. So many people have told me : CICO, you’re just lying about how much you’re eating, you’re just lying about how much you workout. Making me feel it’s all my fault and shaming me for not being able to lose weight. It’s so hurtful and discouraging.
So I recently found out I have type 2 diabetes. Apparently, while weight loss is a “classic” symptom, in some people it’s the opposite, they can’t lose weight. Now that I’m on medication and watching carb intake instead of “calories”, I’m down 12 pounds! Without working out at all or counting calories!
My doctor says the pounds should start falling off now that I’m on medication. So I finally went back to the gym today and shared with my personal trainer. So happy I could cry that now that I will start seeing results from my hard work. It feels so incredible.
I know it will still take work, I know I won’t be able to eat whatever I want. I’m going to have to work hard and be twice as strict on my diet. But it helps to know what is wrong and weight loss will help fix this. Best motivation ever.
Just wanted to share these reminders, that what works for one person, won’t necessarily work for another. Be kind, be supportive. Don’t pretend your a medical expert and don’t judge. Everyone is fighting a different battle even though they share a similar goal.
Sending you all love. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
