This is partly a journal entry and partly looking for advice. I started taking birth control around three years ago. For my cystic acne. When I started birth-control I was at 135 pounds, I was 135 the majority of my life, I had a high metabolism. Since then I’ve steadily gained 35lbs. Because of this weight gain my mental health had been going downhill, struggling with disassociation, binging and purging, etc. 

So I finally decided to try something new and I stopped taking the pill. Since then I’ve watched my mood improve, my hunger is way less, and overall I just feel better. However I am trying to loose this extra weight. I’ve been calorie counting, exercising, staying in a weight deficit everyday.

I’m looking for weight loss advice/tips

Maybe encouragement
