I want too lose weight. I will admit when my fiance and I first got together I was 112lbs a size 2. The skinnest I have ever been. Four years later, I feel like a pig. I'm 160lbs... My face isn't fat nor are my arms. I don't have kankles, just what I think are ugly fat hips, a big ass, and not the thinnest mid section. I tell people I'm 160lbs and they don't believe me.. Well here is the thing. Ideally I would like to be back to my weight one year into the relationship (120lbs). I'm on a lot of medication to be exact I take well over 20 pills a day for various things. I didn't get fat until I started seeing doctors and the pills ( I hate them). I've been on a diet since January when I was 140lbs... All I did was gain. I cut carbs, sodium, changed my diet and caloric consumption to under 1200 calories.. I can't lose this.. Unfortunately my medications I can't come off of. If you don't know any of these look em up. (Tachycardia, high blood pressure, orthostatic hypertension, disc degenerative disease, and peripheral autonomic neuropathy that
affects my heart.. So with that being said. How do I keep motivation when my body physically can't handle no more? How do I get my fiance to support me and quit buying junk food even tho he knows I want well have to eat healthier? He calls me tubby or fat and it just upsets me more. I'm wanting to die by the time I come up stairs... Help please.
Want to lose weight, but I have no support. What do I do?
I'm naturally a skinny person, I put on loads of weight, it goes to my chin, thighs and stomach and nowhere else. I ate a banana for breakfast with iced water, a chicken or tuna sandwich and a normal dinner such as chicken or steak with loads of salad drinking iced water with it.. I then snacked on unsalted peanuts. Between that I went to dance classes Within few weeks I was 14lbs lighter.. You being thin before will find it easier to shift the weight, you'll be hungry for at least a week into the diet but after that it's easier. After first week I bought a burger I could only eat half of it.. it take perseverance and your fiancé calling you tubby is pretty shitty! It's not a diet you need it's a new man.. im sorry for your health problems but as I typed change frying to grilling and stick to lean meats like chicken and fish and have as much salad as you like with it.. make one day a week about a greasy fast food treat you'll find you won't eat it all..
Some of this may be attributed to water retention and drug induced condition. Talk to your doctor about changing medication and alternatives. Meanwhile maintain an exercise regimen - enlist help of a trainer in a gym
Ok. First.: you're lovely... That said I want to get out what's bothering me about our statement.
Your fiancée is calling you names and not being supportive while bringing junk food to you as a temptation.
Thats bullshit!
tell him to help you help yourself or you'll help him move himself out!
He's sabotaging you on purpose... Maybe subconsciously but maybe not... It happens, a lot!
Also, your body will have limitations... Sometimes you'll be able to run a little more, sometimes less... Weight loss shouldn't be more than 1-2 lbs a week...
I know, I've asked him to help be supportive, but his response was "only you can change yourself , I can't help." Kind of a dick thing too say since he was the one who started all this by begging me to see another cardiovascular doc. Thank you for the compliment.
well it seems like you gained weight for medical reasons that were deemed necessary, don't be so hard on yourself, its a tough situation. just continue with diet and exercise and strive to be as healthy as you can.
you are making the same mistake than most women (including my gf) eating less or better is not the solution, change your work out and you will see a huge difference
I kind of can't. Health reasons. I have weight restrictions only allowed to do 30 lbs and cannot run/jog/or do a large amount of walking with supervision.
No. One is high blood pressure medication 14 are for back pain/ muscle relaxers/ nerve pain pills. 4 are anxiety for PTSD, daily aspirin and three are for acid reflux caused by my muscle relaxer for my back.
My vertebrae are rubbing together because my disc is nearly gone. I've been on pain pills since December. It got bad then heart medication since July of last year and anxiety meds since January. I see a spinal reconstruction surgeon on the 21 to discuss back surgery
