I need help loosing weight (17f & very obese)
(Tw bulimia mentioned) I don’t really know how to start this but long story short I’ve been trying to loose weight since I was like 12
The only thing that actually helped me loose weight was starving myself and then when I did have to eat like if I was with friends I would make myself throw up and ofc that worked but it destroyed my mental health and has sent me in a massive downward spiral
I gained about 20kgs due to an antipsychotic I was required to go on for a while in 2024 (quetiapine) it was absolutely awful and thankfully I am off that now.
I find myself binging when I get home from work, and eating socially on the weekends (my friends are all quite slim but either they have fast metabolisms or a few of them have ED’s and starve themselves during the week to “make space” for the weekend It’s gotten to a point where I KNOW I need to loose weight. Getting in the car with others and my half of the car literally weighs down, being scared to go on swings, not having the airplane tray table fitting
And more recently, the literal seatbelt on the plane is just getting to the point where it’s almost too small for me and I’m way too mortified to ask for a seatbelt extender.
I have a weird family situation and to keep it short, I am pretty much fully independent. I only need help getting transportation as I can’t drive but in terms of what I cook for dinner or what I buy at the grocery store that’s all up to me.
Just to clarify, I’ve been overweight since I was probably like 6 years old? It got sooooo much worse when my parents divorced as when I would be at my dad’s house I would have to make my own dinner which would just be a bunch of junk food. My siblings and even my mother who was quite obese have all lost the weight and now it’s just fatty me fending for myself having no idea where to start
Not sure if this is useful information but I do have PCOS/PMOS, ADHD and Autism
Thank you to anyone and everyone who has taken the time to read this I really appreciate
it!
