I need a change....
Hey guys... I thought I’d share my story and hopefully meet some people with similar situations or even get some helpful advice. About a year and a half ago I decided to go on birth control because I was under weight and at 17 years old still hasn’t had a period. Before going on birth control I was super athletic and at a healthy weight. The first 6 months of being on the pill I started to notice my eating habits had changed. I was always hungry and the numbers on the scale were definitely adding up (and I finally started my period). In the duration of about a year I had gained almost 50lbs. My body started changing rapidly, my boobs went from an A cup to a DD, I went from being a size 4 to a size 13 and recently I’ve started to notice the stretch marks on my arms and chest and hips. I’ve been to the doctor over and over again to adjust my birth control and nothing has worked. I’m now 190lbs, very unhappy with my body and embarrassed to be in public around people who knew me before the weight. I need to get back in shape and happy with my weight. I need motivation. Does anybody have any helpful tips/ diets/ any suggestions that could help in my situation? I’m at the stage in my life now where I’m ttc and being overweight and stressed about my weight is the only thing holding me back and keeping me from being healthy enough to carry. TIA to anyone who has any suggestions for me ❤️
