really struggling after sudden weight gain
hi guys, i’m 19f. i have pcos and am on my second week of wegovy. i will say it has changed my life with the way its affected my relationship with food. it’s doing its job wonderfully- but im 5’1 and 180lbs. i gained 50lbs very suddenly, i dropped into a horrible depression and drank every single day for 3 months.
i think the alcohol caused the weight gain and my depression because i never cared if what i was eating would potentially make me gain weight. i didn’t care about anything.
i cry almost every day. nothing fits me how i think it will. i went from being a medium to an XL in less than a year. i’m going out on a date with my boyfriend tonight and i feel so uncomfortable and ugly in the dress i picked out. i bought a bra to help make my boobs less invasive and it didn’t fit.
i’m just really depressed.
i just hope this works.
edit: i’ll add i am working out 4 days a week on top of being a server, i average about 14k steps a day and i strength train. when i hit my depression episode food became the only thing i functioned for. cant get out of bed? let’s make breakfast. stressful day? let’s order food. amazing day? let’s order food. hate my body? let’s order comfort food.
my relationship with food is horrible, i think im genuinely addicted to eating. the wegovy has turned my whole life around when i thought my binge eating was an unstoppable force. so on top of drinking daily, the food didn’t help either.
