I am 28 years old and have ALWAYS had issued with my weight. A couple of years ago i went from 233+(im 5'5', i was probably more but didnt want to weigh myself). to 130 lbs, i used calorie counting, but i have OCD, and the counting became an obsession that led me to overeating and quickly gaining back the weight.
I ended up in the hospital this week, i had been living with GB attacks for a year. It turns out my pancreas was inflamed and my gb hardened filled with stones. I spent two days on antibiotics to calm my pancreas and then my gb was removed, when it was removed it was found to be infected despite the antibiotics. so, i am still on antibiotics. i dont want to go back to the hospital, i am a young woman, i dont want to lead myself down a path of hospitals, pills, medications. i want to be HEALTHY, not just worrying about appearances (i have self esteem issues).
I want to believe its not too late. But i have tried so many times before. i need some serious advice from someone that has lost the weight and kept it off.
I actually enjoy fruits and veggies and every morning i drink a smoothie of fruits veggies, almond milk blended with my Bullet blender. the problem is i LOVE unhealthy food too. i used to buy a bag of chocolate and eat it in 1-2 days, i got rid of that habit. and then switched to cookies, then rice krispy treats. lol i also like fast food places because its so easy and it tastes good. i tried making myself home cooked frozen meals, and taking to college some healthy snacks, but its so hard to say no when i drive by a fast food place.
I need a healthy way to lose weight that wont lead me to obsessing. i cannot go back to eating until im nauseous and in pain (i havent done this for a year). im lost and need help, please advice me.
Havent weighed myself in awhile, but i would guess myself to be around 170-190, i used to weight myself daily and my moods would depend on my weight, so i dont want to do that anymore.
