Can I credit myself for my weight loss?

I have lost almost 60 lbs now. My sister... I dont know. She said that I can’t really credit myself for my weight loss because I’m on metformin.

So I was obese and not losing anything, it tried for a year. Turned my whole life style around but stayed overweight and actually just kept gaining. I saw a doctor and found out that I have an insulin resistance brought on by PCOS. If you don’t know what that means, my body was taking all of the sugar from all of my food and turning it into fat instead of energy. So I just gained and gained. It wouldn’t have mattered if I lived on carrots, I’d still be gaining because my body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to be doing with food.

Metformin is a diabetic medication that fixes that problem.

So, when I started metformin the weight fell off and it fell off fast. 58 lbs in 7/8 months. Because i had to have medication to help, my sister says I cannot credit myself for my weight loss.

Metformin is not a weight loss drug but it does help my body work properly. 🙃

I have a diet, I stick to that diet. It’s the same diet I started almost 2 years ago when I started my weight loss journey. I also work out. But in her head, since the weight fell off so fast that means it’s only metformin doing the work.

I don’t even know what to say in response to this. Because this weight loss journey has been a miracle to me, I genuinely never thought I would lose the weight. I didn’t believe my doctor when he told me I would as long as I kept my diet. I still can’t believe it when I look in the mirror and recognize myself again. I can’t tell if I’m being psyched out?
