It has taken me a lot of bravery to upoad a picture like this (not looking for sympathy). I am uploading it partially in case anyone looks like me and never sees anyone who looks like them.
A bit of background, up until around age 21 I was 154lbs on average and looked fit to me, after I graduated university (college) I became an alcoholic and put on a lot of weight (because of alcohol and takeaway calories) and by age 24 I was 240lbs. I put on so much weight so quickly that my skin strethed beyond repair. I lost weight when I was 25, put it on again when I started to drink again (not as high as 240lbs but 210lbs or so). When I was 30 I stopped drinking totally I went on a fitness plan (much cycling and low calorie) and went down to 168lbs by July 2020. In August 2020 I went on holiday with my friend and because I was on holiday I went off my diet and ate what I wanted this was ice cream and cakes. When I came home the ice cream and cake eating continued and now I am back at 14 stones (196lbs). I am thinking of approaching my general practitioner about this but they don't tend to take you seriously in the UK. My problem is not that I am fat, if I looked fat but had a nice tight but fat body shape that would be okay, my body looks awful and I need surgery to reduce this. I never thought I would be this way, I never had a weight problem when I was a kid. I have been on the weight loss medications privately orlistat (Xenical), bupropion/nalrexone (Contrave), and was considering to buy semaglutide (Ozempic).
