How can somebody be so obese with such a healthy diet lol. And what can else be done for her? Can't afford GLP, no insurance
I let this disease control me for 5 years almost 1/5th of my life.
I come from a high achiever background. Always top of class, got in every college first attempt. Will be earning upwards of 300k starting next year.
I turn 27 today and till now I have lost 80k USD in trading options + online poker. I made 30k USD in stocks so my net loss is 50k USD.
I have constantly for the past 5 years thought about this figure. Earlier it was 10k then 20k, i broke even once also, but then again it gave me to confidence to go for more and ended up here to 50k net loss. I have no debt but I consider this loss as my debt.
I believe it was my entitlement and narcissistic nature that fueled this addiction, making it "okay to do it" in my head. Out of the 50k, 20k is my parents money.
As I start 28th year of my life, I want to promise myself to never go down this quick rich path again. The quickest way for me to get rich will be to not try anything and just invest passively. I won't be able to catch a 1000% option move overnight, and I've made peace with it. I know even if I do I will lose more in next 2 weeks.
I have decided to stop thinking about this 50k and move on in my life.
