So, I'm early 30s, obese and unhappy, self consious and all the rest of it when it comes to how i look.
I used to weigh about 144 in my late teens....not I'm about 230.
I hate looking at myself in the mirror, actively avoid taking photos and I am the most self consious person when it comes to socialising...and my weight is making that even harder!
I had an over active parathyroid gland, resolved now but was there for about 10 years if not more. MEN negative but thats not to say some other unknown genetic factor was at play (they kept a sample to test in the future if this were to happen as its so rare at my age).
Anyways, My thoughts at the moment (although this could change any given moment i have too much time to think) is that obesity carries so many health risks anyway, whats the harm in trying the medicine?
How do i bring this up with my doctor?
Also, I'd like to get to a good weight by this time next year and spend this time getting my bkdy ready to start a family.
All tips and advice welcome!
Thanks!
