This is a copy pasta of what I posted over on r/contrave I just happen to read this subreddit as well. thanks for reading
SW: 242 (March)
CW: 182 (Today)
Goal: "160 by next summer", so 22 more pounds in many months.
I am a 35yo 5'6 male with no other major health problems. Some persistent minor back pain (2/10) I smoke medical cannabis for it and I take prilosec for acid reflux (weight related, hope to stop soon) and my LDL is finally getting correct so I will likely stop my statin as well.
So anyways yeah, started taking it as directed, joined a health club. Only swam for months. Did not touch anything else period, just ate less, ate a LITTLE smarter but no significant diets. Realized I'm a drug addict for food...
The Wellbutrin is great. My T production is up, I used to get a T shots, no need anymore. Very happy with life, have some worries as any 35yo dm has but anyways looking up. I probably need these two drugs, Wellbutrin and Naltrexone, the rest of my life. I'm okay with this.
I typically eat around 1200-1500 calories a day now with no less than 30 min of exercise to satisfy my Apple Watch. On Thanksgiving it was yoga in front of the TV. It's usually basketball and weight machines now.
I encourage everyone to take it really serious, like even if you're not out to make all the changes at once that's okay -- it's a journey. But now I am really pushing the gas pedal down and lost 13lbs in November, and gained 2lbs of muscle so I really lost 15lbs of fat. I just wanna be better, be the person I should have been ten years ago....
I have a lot of things to make up for, opportunities squandered. Time wasted. I don't dwell on that anymore, I just put in my 30+ minutes a day at the club, and eat less. Not really better, just less. I've managed to fit THC cheesecake in my mealplan the last two days. Like you can have that snickers bar if you're okay with it being literally 1/5th of your daily food.
I used to go down the road to the gas station about now (11pm) and buy a bunch of shit and fuck it up on my couch or computer. At least one chocolate, one sour, and one chip type snacks. Usually with a heavily sugar'd hipster bottle of Lemonade) I'm craving the shit right now but I'm about to go to bed. It just, it.. it doesn't matter. My desire to look better naked exceeds my desire to want to be depressed and stuff my face.
I really like basketball, seriously great cardio if your shins can tolerate it.
Anyways I digress, just keep it up. Realize this:
No one gets on reddit and says, "I drove my car today and everything went great. The brakes were firm, the engine was smooth, radio loud." No one EVER posts that shit. They post about how the engine lost oil pressure and now they're out $4,000. There's a lot of success stories out there, but they're prob living their life now that, at least for me, Contrave gave it back.
