39 F 5’4” HW 200 SW 190
TL;RD I gained 60 lbs on SSRIs and am working to lose the 50 lbs that haven’t budged after a health scare.
Hi. Thanks in advance for letting me vent.
Most of my life I was a healthy weight. Had my kids, stayed mostly healthy and got healthier physically.
I got on an SSRI that works for me and stayed on it longer than I ever have. This helped me manage a new career, grad school, and parenting. I also gained 60 pounds. It’s been challenging dealing with all the things people talk about with the discomfort of being heavier—not feeling like myself, things not fitting well, towels being too small etc. I’ve been working on being kind to myself, but I’m tired of the negative effects.
I ended up going to the ER yesterday because I’d been having some considering symptoms. Thankfully, I just have to watch my BP and all the major things came back normal. This felt like a massive wake up call that I won’t likely get this opportunity again to get healthier and avoid high BP, diabetes etc.
I am coming down with a virus, but I’ve been meal planning and restocking our kitchen. Work has been extremely stressful but is trending toward calming down.
I’ve got at least 50 lbs to go, but I’m excited to make strides toward my goals and be healthy for myself and my family.
