I’m probably 15-20 lbs heavier than I’d like to be right now. So the past 5-6 weeks I’ve tried to lose weight.
I’ve cut out almost all sugar. I’ve started eating 90% Uber healthy foods—grilled chicken, oat bran, avocados, protein chickpea pasta with barely any carbs, stir fried vegetables... I am eating any sort of sweets about once a week if that. I’ve halved my portions. I count calories and am eating less than 1200 cal a day, 95% of the time.
I have not really exercised—maybe that’s the issue? I have chronic illness and work excessively and just am not able to at the moment. Trust me, I’d like to. I know though that food is the biggest portion of weight loss.
I am on seroquel. I halved it. I’m still on a good dose but I’m going down over time so I don’t have issues. I know seroquel is a weight gainer drug.
I have lost about 2 lbs. which is sketchy as fuck because I probably didn’t pee before weighing myself the first time and it’s probably no weight at all.
I feel devastated. I have not the slightest clue why I haven’t lost weight… it doesn’t make sense at all. I am eating as I should be—actually FEWER calories than I should be (but definitely not starving myself). I’ve weighed myself about once a week. I do not understand how I haven’t lost weight. It’s easy as well because my family eats more healthily than 999 out of 1000 families, no joke. I eat what my dad lost tons of weight on, and I eat small portions, and I haven’t lost anything. I really don’t even understand why this is possible.
I’ve dealt with ED in the past and seeing the same damn number on the scale when I’m truly eating well and small portions is bizarre.
I don’t know if the seroquel ruined my metabolism somehow? I feel like, at this point, I may as well eat a whole ass cake or jug of ice cream because I am totally unable to lose ANYTHING.
Has anyone dealt with this? What the heck can I do?
