Back story: I have always been someone who is super athletic and have always valued physical health. Because of that, In the last 4 years, I became a gym enthusiast and actually started going regularly at 5 am everyday.
I was gaining a lot of muscle at first and toning of course but still always felt bad about myself (I grew up in a very judgey household where skinny = pretty) even when I shouldn’t have.
Fast forward almost a year ago, I started losing weight, rapidly, while doing the same exercises. I mean losing 30 pounds in almost a month, feeling AWESOME about myself.
Shortly after this rapid weight loss, I was hospitalized with DKA (diabetic keto acidosis) with no family history of diabetes or any autoimmune conditions.
Turns out, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 29 years old and have since had a major life change. I think the initial visual of what my intense working out did to my blood sugar scared me away from working out. Eventually, I stopped all together.
This being said, I have gained back the 30 pounds I lost and I have never felt worse about myself. I don’t know if it’s the gaining the weight that i hate so much or letting myself down by stopping the work outs but im really struggling.
Any advice is welcome.
TLDR: lost 30 pounds very fast, felt great, diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and gained it back, feel terrible. Advice welcomed.
