weight loss after antipsychotics:18 pounds lost! i’m having to get my work pants altered so they stop sagging!

im so proud of myself guys. in 2016 i was diagnosed with ocd, and put on a micro dose of antipsychotics/srri’s. i gained about 60ish pounds. fast forward to 2021, i’ve been in therapy for 6 years and learned a lot. i scored a job i love in the mental health field, and everything has fallen into place. i’ve realized now instead of fixing everyone else it’s time to reflect inward. since june of this year i’ve lost 18 pounds. i’m so proud!! before i started eating healthier, i was getting really shaky and dizzy frequently (despite eating more than enough). the dietician i saw suggested low carb because she thought the shakiness could be from insulin resistance. i haven’t worked out at all during the past four months so this progress is totally diet based. i ordered some work out clothes and got a gym membership, so i am excited to see how much that helps!!

the ladies at work have been so sweet and supportive. i asked the overnight lady if she had a safety pin. she asked what for, and i told her because my pants are sagging and too loose. she told me that she’ll alter them for free :) i thought it was so sweet!! i feel so glad to be able to finally take care of my health. my mom is prediabetic, has heart arrhythmias and a heart stent. alot of it is tied to her weight. i am so proud to finally take care of myself. i have too much to lose to not treat my body kindly. hopefully this is just the beginning!!
