I’m in a tricky situation. As of this morning, I’ve found I’ve finally gotten to the 25 pound mark. That’s a decent amount considering I’m 4’11, and it’s definitely been very visible progress. However, I don’t think I can take any of the credit.
Most of the weight loss is due to a decreased appetite because of a medication prescribed for that purpose by my doctor. About five months ago, we discovered that my weight gain (about 50 or so pounds over less than three years) was due to a side effect of another of my medications, which had gotten rid of my hunger cues. I had been unable to feel full or satisfied, so my body never knew when to stop eating, and I even became incredibly hungry at certain points of the day, but I had contributed that particular symptom to another part of my diagnoses at the time.
I’m happy I’ve lost half of what I had gained on that medication (that I’m still on until we get to a safe time to switch, as it is an intense medication with a bit of a process). I’ve had congratulations and such, but I don’t feel like I can be proud of myself since it really isn’t anything I’ve particularly done, it was all a medication, with the additive of me being more active since I’m on campus for college again. I’m not sure what perspective I should take on my weight loss, especially since I felt so much to blame for the gain itself before learning it was the medication.
I’m at such a loss!
