#trigger warning weight loss

[gettingthebestofyou]

Today I took my first dose of 5mg. I’ve been a little queasy, a mild headache, but so far so good.

Last week I tried the 2.5 in my stomach. No good. I had horrible cramps and nausea. I’ll be sticking to the leg for my injections from now on.

In four weeks on the 2.5, without changing my diet or exercise regimen, I’ve lost 7 lbs.

I’m the lightest I’ve been in almost two years.

It’s scary- because it seems too good to be true. Every time I weigh myself I’m afraid I’m imagining it, or that it’s somehow fake. I’m afraid it will stop or stall and I’ll be back where I started again, I’ll be back struggling for every pound, considering doing drastic, unsafe things just to lose weight. I don’t want to go back there.

But at the same time, this is a fucking relief.

I NEEDED something. My body was broken and I NEEDED medication. I couldn’t have done this on my own. I tried. I’ve been trying almost my whole life. I’ve been refocused and healthy and fucking BETTER for two years now and my weight still just went up.

Seeing that scale go down makes me want to cry. But it’s still fear and relief. It’s still mixed. I’m still so wary of the dosage and the side effects and making sure what I’m doing is sustainable so I can keep going when the shots end.

Four weeks in, when you think I’d feel happy, I’m just more afraid.

Trigger Warning:

With all the new year resolutions around the corner shoving dieting down our throats, I am warning against “physician-guided weight loss programs” so it’ll involve dieting and eating disorders.

I was in kaisers weight loss program. It was extremely expensive, and extremely “effective.” It was a doctor-approved eating disorder. My health was not their number one priority. They were not concerned that I was in so much gastrointestinal agony, that I just flat out stopped eating because it hurt less to do so. This caused long term gastrointestinal problems, and four medical emergencies.

At my skinniest, I was becoming an ER regular AND I was still technically “overweight.” Skinny DOES NOT equal healthy. Now I’ve gained a lot of weight back. I also am able to exercise 2.5 hours a week (including running two miles a week) and cut my resting heart rate in half.

I’m sure there are many people who genuinely do benefit from such programs, and I’m sure ethical and credible medical weight loss programs exist. I just don’t want you to assume that if it’s coming from a doctor then it automatically must be safe for you. Doctors don’t always have your best interest in mind. It took a lot of financial loss and ER visits to learn this lesson and I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did.

If you develop an eating disorder when you are already thin to begin with, you go to the hospital.

If you develop an eating disorder when you are not thin to begin with, you are a success story.

So when I evaporated, of course everyone congratulated me on getting healthy.

Girls at school who never spoke to me before stopped me in the hallway to ask how I did it.

I say, “I am sick.”

They say, “No, you’re an inspiration.”

How could I not fall in love with my illness?

With becoming the kind of silhouette people are supposed to fall in love with?

Why would I ever want to stop being hungry when anorexia was the most interesting thing about me?

Is it just me or sometimes when I see some thinspø or b0nespø but like in a extreme way, like they show someone who is actually dying well it doesn’t motivate me at all idkk.

I want to be skinny fit, I don’t want to be skinny dying (no hate to people who want to ofc).

I want to be skinny like a feather but not skinny in a way my friends or family are too worried yk.

I don’t want to be only bones I don’t know, maybe the pr0 4na will come tell me I’m not a real one and I’m just fat or wtv .

But when I say I want to be skinny this is what I mean ;

Please don’t send me hate for what I’m saying it’s only my opinion !! No hate to the people who think otherwise, everyone has their own opinions 😚🫶

So… thyroid is normal. Which…. I’m just tired of this.

In about 3 weeks I’ve lost 5 lbs. I won’t believe this is real, that this works and will keep me going to reach my goals, for a LONG time. Every time I step on a scale I make excuses.

Under 200. First big goal is to get under 200.

6 pounds to go.

It’s been 2 years since I’ve been that light.

Not counting cals is valid

If not counting cals helps u res then it's valid

If you binge and dont count cals ur valid

If u care more abt how clean ur food is rather than cals ur valid

Eds r more than counting cals
