I used to be the weight I am now. I worked my *** off (literally) and got down to a weight I felt comfortable and happy with. I kept it off for two years and my academic and social lives thrived.
I put it all back on when I got into a serious relationship. I'd love to lose weight again but I don't even know if I have the strength to do so. I'm starting my second degree soon and I had wanted to get into better shape to meet my new classmates but alas, very little progress.
I'm going to be a doctor in four years, and when that day comes, I don't want to be told to tell patients to lose weight, when I'm clearly not exactly skinny myself. I want to be confident and happy again, it all seemed to just go when I piled on the pounds. I'm sure my partner too would be happier, if not for how I look, but for my general happiness. I guess I'm just posting here because I can't go through it alone this time. And I can't afford things like slimming world because of time/cash constraints (have you seen the price of medical textbooks?!)
In summary, thanks for letting me vent, and if anyone fancies a chat you're more than welcome to say hello or message me
