I’m so frustrated. I’ve never been able to even maintain weight. I’m constantly gaining weight. I just weighed myself and I weigh 215 lbs, meaning my BMI is 46. I’m so disgusted and ashamed. I have a health condition that requires lots of monitoring so I’m in and out of the doctors office every month and am constantly reminded of my weight.
I feel like there’s a lot holding me back. I like healthy food (my favorite food is salmon) but I really don’t want to have to restrict what I eat a lot. I see posts in this sub saying they cut out tons of stuff and only eat 5 jelly beans a month or something. I mean maybe that works for some people but that seems miserable to me. On top of that, every single one of my friends is able to eat whatever they want and never exercise, and never gain weight. One of our favorite social activities is going out to new restaurants.
Additionally, I hate cooking. I have a bone disorder that makes it hard to stand for a long time (I’m talking 10-15 minutes max before I’m in pain) and the last thing I want to do after walking around work and school all day is stand at the stove. I much prefer picking something up on the way home or microwaving something (which is obviously the problem). My doctor says that as I lose weight, there will be less pressure on my joints and it will be easier (but still not easy) to stand for longer periods of time.
I take 2 medications that are known for making it difficult to lose weight (I can’t switch them) and because of the bone disorder I can’t do much exercise (I do low impact stuff 1-2 x/week).
I know these sound like excuses but I’m just trying to find a way around them so I can start losing weight. Does anyone have any tips on how to get started?
