I had a flashback to the day I stepped on the scale and saw that I lost 30 pounds. I went up to over 160 in 4 months when I was on Paxil (anxiety medicine that will make you fat, I mean it. It’s also bad for your liver, please don’t ever take it along with any SSRI’s. Weight gain on these medicines isn’t linked to being lazy, it messes with your endocrine system, it screws with your metabolism bad. Please do extensive research for more information.)
I decided enough was enough. I got off of the medicine, began eating healthy foods and took a walk every day for an hour, sometimes I jogged. It was half uphill and half downhill. I also did a fitness regime with my friend, it wasn’t much but it was something.
When I stepped on the scale not to long ago and saw that 30 pound loss I remember fucking bawling. There has never been a happy moment that made me break down crying that much. Before that moment, I thought I was doomed. I didn’t think I could go back. I didn’t think I had it in me. I have been losing more weight recently and I’m not doing it the right way. I started smoking, I don’t eat much and I eat a lot of junk, but I am on my feet for 10 hours a day constantly lifting and moving. I want to do better with my eating and exercising. 10 more pounds and I will see a weight that I haven’t seen in middle school and I know I’ll start crying again.
You can do it. One day you may have a point where you say “I can’t live this way anymore” and you will rock that weight loss. You will be all you can be. You will work for it and you will step on that scale and cry from happiness instead of disappointment. Please don’t give up, for you and not anyone else.
