My size 26 trousers are tight on me (TW eating disorder)

They’re bloody elasticated too .

I weigh about 23-23 and a half stone .

I hate myself . I hate my size, I hate my stomach, I hate the fact that I have to lift up the fat to wash underneath it in the shower . I hate the fact that I wheeze when I walk sometimes and I struggle to even do the dishes some days because my back hurts so much .

I’ve been to the GP who said to go to weight watchers but I can’t get my head in the right mind set . I’ve had three major bereavements, and dealing with historic abuse in childhood and assault, and I’m not coping well, I’m back and forth to crisis team fairly regularly . GP said potentially medication is having an effect . I don’t leave the house now unless someone’s with me and that hardly ever happens, so I hardly ever leave the house - and I’ve no energy to go for a walk anyway .

I fucking hate myself for doing this to myself . I don’t know how to stop . I can’t eat a normal size portion, I had four slices of toast for breakfast yesterday then a big tasty from McDonald’s, 6 chicken nuggets, 4 of those cheese things, a McFlurry, a brownie and a cookie .

I used to make myself vomit it back up but I ended up with horrendous acid reflux so try not to do that now.

I don’t know how to get control back and I’m scared my weight’s going to kill me . Whenever I think about dieting I feel like I’m being punished so I give up within days .

You poor thing.. sounds like you're trying so hard, but I agree with the other ladies, until your mental health is taken care of, it's a losing battle..
Could you try hypnotherapy? My DD is a hypnotherapist (not trying to drum up business, she's very busy!) and helps all kinds of people with all kinds of problems.
Do find one with good reviews / recommended. Hugs.

@CheapWine at full dose one pen last 6 days. I did not increase my does until I felt the dose I was on had stopped working for me. I've just looked at my order history and in total I used 24 pens from Jan to Sept during which time I lost 6 stone. After this I decide try without the pens and lost a further stone just calorie counting and am now maintaining.

Thank you, and massive congratulations on your weight loss! A huge achievement.
