My journey starts Tuesday
I’m 5”5 and 245 lbs. I’m 33 years old and I’ve been struggling being the same weight for 5 1/2 years now and I can’t lose weight and I don’t gain any more than up to 248/250 lbs. I got tests done and my thyroid levels were very high so I started a medication called Levothyroxine which is to help with my thyroid. I’m prediabetic. And I’m also a recovering addict. And I’ve done so much research and read reviews and articles and everything. And I learned that the medication I’m on might be effected by the shot since it slowers your stomach emptying and I’m on medication for my anxiety and depression. Is there anyone on here that takes medication that the Tirzepatide made the other medication you’re on be effected by it?’
Also I’m really scared, I hate needles. Also my insurance doesn’t cover any weight loss medication so I’m putting out almost $1,000 for 6 month supply.
I’m worried I’m wasting my time. And all these people I see with amazing results and the reviews I read, are all fake and I’m stuck this size forever.
I need this to work. My fiancé doesn’t understand how important things is for me, I am so depressed and I have no motivation, no drive to do anything and it’s not only effecting me but also my kids. And he tells me just don’t think and just go do something. For example I want to take her to the park and for walks and I can’t seem to just leave my house. I can’t explain it. It’s hard for me to even take showers because I have to wash my body and I hate touching my fat. I feel disgusting and I can’t control how i feel about myself. I’ve been trying everything and doing everything for 5 years and nothings helped. I’m ready to give up.
So if this shot doesn’t work then there’s no hope for me. I did so much research and I’ve made notes and I’m preparing myself for the side effects and the calories, protein and fiber intake I need. I have printed out some workouts I can do at home plus I have a plant fitness membership (I’ve had for 2 years now and gone 3/4 times). I’m ready to commit to this and try my hardest. I just know if this is fake and doesn’t actually work then I’m gonna break into a thousand pieces and I need this to work so I can be a better mother and fiance.
Please any advice or anything is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the very long post. I’m alone and support is something everything I read that said is really important ♥️
