I Battle With Weight Issues
I've battle weight issues my whole life. Growing up I started to put on lbs bc of been picked up. Had coke bottle glasses. By the time I was in 7 grade was about 170lbs.
Unfortunately, it for worse when I reached high school. End of my freshman year, my father passed away. Blew up do 240lbs. My senior year I was close to 260lbs. Being only 5'6, thick glasses & being overweight,I looked like Chunk from Goonies. Was called Sloth also.
After failing my freshman year of College & almost taken my life because of being bullied & picked on. Knew it was time to change my life around. Started taken diet pills but they only do much.
At the age of 20 almost 21, I knew it was time 5o change everything. Started to watch what I ate & working out. Within almost 2yeaes I've dropped almost 100lbs. Everyone thought I was doing crack but was drinking almost 2 gallons of water and eating little.
Everything was going great till I got my Rheumatoid arthritis. End up putting on almost 50lbs. Going from 140 to almost 190lbs. I knew there was nothing I could do but it was hurtful.
After having this crippling disease for almost 3yrs, was able to start working out again. From 2009 to 2015 was able to dropped the lbs and get into great shape. Finally I was happy the weight I was at. Being 155lbs rock soils was so freaking great.
Unfortunately late 2015 my disease came back with worse conditions. End up losing all the gains I worked so hard to achieve. Once again I was putting on lbs because of not being able to work out.
This year has been even worse for me. The pain has hurt so bad that days I can't out if bed and with meds I'm on I've put in lbs were my medium shirts and size 32 & 34 jeans wouldn't for me. What hurts the worse was in June, almost lost my right foot because of a major infection.
Well I was at my Rheumatoid arthritis doctor today. Last time I checked my weight in July was over 180lbs. With my jeans, shorts and shirts not fitting me. Had to purchased new clothes. Pant size went up to 36 & shirt large or XL. The last few weeks, I've started realizing they were not fitting me right. They were getting loose again. The problem is ice dropped almost 20lbs in over a month. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I'm losing the lbs but now I have to go shopping again for jeans I got rid of the size 34.
If anyone has the same issues I've dealt with,please reach out to talk. I'm sorry about the short novel but want to say I'm here to chat with anyone who needs a friend. Have a wonderful Wednesday y'all
