Hello everyone.
I'm wanting to lose weight (badly) and I'm not sure where to start. I've done a number of different things in the past [NutriSystem, South Beach, anorexia] and I always seem to regain what I lost. My best loss was 45 pounds and it stayed off for 2 years. I worked an extremely stressful job and ended up gaining 60. So that pretty much sucked.
Right now, I am unemployed [hoping I win my unemployment case!!] so I have a lot of free time. Which lately has included sleeping in and not eating anything til around 4ish. I've already ditched regular soda for diet, and then I'm hoping to give it up altogether.
So anyway, right now I'm about 285. I would like to drop the 85, maybe more. I'm five-nine, so people don't noticed I'm
that heavy when I tell them, but I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin.
I also take medication for anxiety and bipolar, but I was told that lamotrigine can decrease your appetite. I haven't noticed my eating habits have changed much in terms of what it is or how much it is. I think it's the stress of the last 2 years at that shitty job.
Any help and tips are much appreciated.
Phoebe
