I feel like I have hit a wall and I don't know what to do anymore. I step on a the scale almost daily and i'm just watching all this hard work disappearing with every pound regained.
I started my weight loss a little over a year ago at 224 lbs and the start of becoming pre diabetic. A little medical background, I have PCOS so i'm insulin resistant and weight loss is hard to begin with. I have ADHD which means I crave sugar and carbs due to low dopamine levels. i'm late 30's, two full term pregnancies back to back, no gallbladder and a partial hysterectomy. I have some pretty nasty food allergies and sensitivities so my diet is limited.
I'm working with a weight loss specialist but after a year and only 30 lbs lost.. well soon to be 20 lbs as i have regained nearly 10 as of recently I really don't know what to do.
My diet has undergone a drastic change to what it once was. I still maintain the high protein but I can't cut carbs out. I tried that at the start of my weight loss journey a year ago and I have NEVER felt as awful as I did then. I drink pretty much only water with one coke zero for the caffeine during work. I eat about 1100 calories a day maybe less and burn off most of that at work.
my exercise is during my working hours. I'm an expeditor, I move hundreds to thousands of pounds of equipment between labs for 10 hours a day. I average 150K - 200K steps at work every month and that is just the times I have my phone in my pocket (I often don't even bring my phone with me due to the nature of my work)
I was on Ozempic for half a year until my insurance stopped covering it for anything but type 2 diabetes (we were using it as a preemptive strike, which worked.. I never went full diabetic) I have been through so many weight loss medications, topamax gave me horrific side effects, phenetamine i'm on the highest dosage right now and gaining weight. I'm supposed to be on wegovy but good luck fucking finding it!
I just.. I just don't know what to do any more. I just want to get down to 160 and I was so close! I got to 185 at one point but I hit this point where it just stopped completely and now the weight is coming back despite nothing has changed ( okay i cheated a bit cause of halloween but shouldn't be enough to even add a pound let alone this constantly 5-10 lbs bounce I'm doing)
If anyone has any suggestions or where I should turn to next.. I just.. I just don't know any more and I don't know how much more I can beat my doctor over the head with "I fucking told you diet and exercise don't do anything!"
