Hi everyone.
I am 4 weeks in. In total I have lost 4kg (SW:82.7kg)
The first 2 weeks I lost it. Gained it back and lost it again.
It is a difficult battle and requires thought with every single thing which enters my mouth.
There is a negative connotation attached to taking a drug to help lose weight an unfortunately many of us feel shame and keep it a secret. I understand because I hide it from a lot of people.
However for me weight gain is part of a vicious cycle of stress leading to emotional eating.
Food makes me feel safe. It might sound silly but eating crap makes me feel good followed by guilt and feeling terrible.
Seeing the scales go down makes me feel great. I obsess over it and feel like absolute shit when I don't lose weight and all I want to do and unfortunately have done is binge.
But now when I am hungry because I feel disappointed in myself I come here. Where there are lots of lovely supportive people who are in the same boat as me.
I just wanted to thank everyone for being kind and for their stories, success and failures because I believe we all learn from each other.
Good luck everyone. I hope to be able to report triumphs soon.
