Weight Loss Win!

*TW: Eating Disorder*

I don’t have a place where I can freely talk about this, so I chose here. I’ve been struggling with my weight for the past 4 years. I gained almost 70lbs. 4 years ago I began noticing it was impossible for me to lose weight no matter how much I worked out and watched what I ate. Due to that I stopped eating. I never told anyone and due to my weight nobody noticed but even then it felt like even if I smelt food I would gain a pound. I began causing myself to throw up and using other very unhealthy methods to purge everything from my body. My doctor at the time blamed it on my antidepressant but that didn’t feel like the right answer to me but I never pushed the issue. I gave up on trying to lose weight. Last year I began seeing an endocrinologist for infertility who also didn’t help. Earlier this I saw a new endocrinologist who told me I had PCOS and high prolactin. Both cause a large struggle with weight loss. I was put on cabergoline (dopamine promoter) to help with my prolactin levels and I really think it’s starting to help and I’ve been on it for 4 months now! I have been teetering between 220 and 225 for a long time now and I haven’t been able to push past 220. I’ve been really watching my food intake for the past couple weeks and I FINALLY broke past 220! I’m at 218 right now. It’s not much, but it has been so amazing feeling like I broke a barrier! I’m now going to start throwing in working out because I feel like it can make a difference now that the pills are helping! I just wanted tell someone, so if anyone reads this, thanks for listening to me♥️
