Hi all, as the title explains I’m 24yo and struggling with my weight. I have hypothyroidism and am also in a few medications that cause weight gain. I’ve gained an extra 15kg this past year and a half alone.
I can’t come off the medications I’m on as they are for mental health and if I change them I will need to do so while hospitalised. I am taking thyroxine for my thyroid issues.
I’m not a very motivated person, my days are mostly spent sat on my ass crocheting and watching Netflix. I don’t eat very healthily. I know I need to change these things, if you suffer from mental illness you can understand how difficult this is. I do have some mild agoraphobia as well.
I adopted a dog a few months ago to help me with my mental health and also to motivate me to exercise. It worked fantastically for the first 2 months, but we had her desexed and the two weeks of no exercise got me back into old habits. It’s been a month since and I’m still a lazy butthole.
My eating habits are horrendous, I do think I may have a binge eating disorder. I eat when I’m bored, I gauge a lo, even when I’m full, my portions are huge. I am so embarrassed and disgusted in myself, the way I eat and the way I look.
What are some steps I can take? If you’ve been in a similar position what helped you to change?
My partner is very supportive, but he’ll buy me food to comfort me and he puts huge portions of mashed potatoes (my favourite food) with every meal. He doesn’t understand my slow metabolism as his is so fast.
