First picture is from before I got my birth control implant. I wasn’t 100% happy with my body but I was ok with where I was at. Especially weight wise. I weighed about 145 on those pictures.

The second one is right after. I was told a symptom would be weight gain but instead I was losing weight and my appetite.

The third one is when I started to gain weight and my appetite was coming back and bad. After that I haven’t been able to keep any weight off.

Ever since I stopped having the time of day to make it to the gym and actually eat something healthy quickly started to go away. Eating has become my coping mechanism for EVERYTHING!! When I’m mad- I eat. When I’m sad- I eat. When I’m depressed- I eat. When I’m bored- I EAT!

I hate it.

I hate my body.

I am 17 (almost 18!!) and I am currently 5’6(1/2) and I weigh at 190.

Any tips on how to lose weight? (Besides exercise... I take an aerobics class at school amd I’m trying to start at the gym again) any dietary supplements people have tried that aren’t harmful to the body? Dietary habits maybe?

I see a lot of beautiful and amazing women on here and I wanna know how y’all became that way :) I also really hope I’m not offending anyone by being self conscious about my body and asking for tips. I didn’t know if I was “eligible” (idk the right word to use) to be in a plus sized group or not🤷🏼‍♀️
