So today is the day that Taylor Swift walks down the aisle, but probably not to one of her own songs.
Which Taylor Swift song would you/did you walk down the aisle to? And instrumental version or are we including lyrics?
(Totally not trying to get ideas for my own wedding next year 😁)
I'm new to this sub and I know that this probably gets asked all the time but I just don't know where to start with weight loss.
I'm getting married in a year's time and I really want to lose weight before then. I was so skinny in my teens/early 20s and while I know I probably won't ever look like that again, I literally just hate even looking in the mirror now that I'm obese.
I've tried to lose weight so many times and while I sometimes have some initial success, it plateaus very quickly and as soon as I stop dieting, the weight piles back on within about a week (I once gained all 8lbs I'd lost over several weeks in one weekend trip away). I'm on metformin which has helped a bit with the intense sugar cravings, but I'm on a fairly low dose because the higher doses cause me severe bowel problems.
I am on the waiting list for Wegovy but I've just been told that they messed up when they added me to the waiting list so it will likely be at least October before I can go on it. If I try and lose some weight on my own, I won't qualify for it anymore come October. If I wait until October, I don't think I will have enough time to lose weight and get my dress in time for the wedding.
I'm also quite a picky eater (I hate the textures of a lot of foods) and I never exercise (even light exercise leaves me out of breath and more intense exercise leaves me with muscle pain for days). I'm also struggling with motivation because I feel like I've tried so many times in the past and it just never works.
I know this whole post probably just sounds like a lot of whining but I really just don't know where to start and I'm struggling with so many things in my life right now that I just don't even know how to deal with trying to lose weight.
If you read this far, thank you, and I'd really love any advice/suggestions people have. Especially regarding how to motivate yourself when nothing seems to work.
