Hi! I'm writing this thread right now so I can feel sorry for myself and vent in peace. Tonight is one of those nights when I just can't stop feeling bad about myself. It doesn't happen often but when it does I just can't take it and feel like talking about it. So here goes:
I'm 17 years old, 5'4 and weigh 158 pounds (that would be 72 kilos). I don't even think that my situation would be considered desperate or health damaging, but sometimes when I look in the mirror I become horrified. Three years ago, in summer I lost 22 pounds, with weightloss massage (wich is THE best way to lose weight from my experience), a healthy and sometimes restrictive diet, and exercising at home. That was the time when I really felt good about my body. But I have an annoying predisposition of gaining weight very fast. Until now my weight kept fluctuating. For me it's very hard to lose it, but it's almost impossible to keep a nice silhouette without dedicating most of my time to weight loss.
Recently, after a medical check I discovered that I suffer from disfunctions of the thyroid and suprarenal glands, disfunctions wich seem to have triggered this weight gain. I followed the doctors prescription and took some pills, wich worked out very nice... they rid me of my acne (it was a wonderful result actually), but the weight was still there.
I eat healthy and in normal quantities: a rich breakfast (most important meal of the day), moderate lunch, and for dinner I usualy eat fruits and carrots (sometimes I have snacks in between meals, and I never exagerate with the desserts). This is my normal eating habit, I can eat neither more, nor less.
I can't exercise too often anymore, because the big exams are coming and I need to get ready, and I also have to finish some art projects, so I just try to walk as much as I can, avoiding to take a taxi or a bus, and here I am 158 pounds in weight. Most of the fat goes to my thighs and my arms, wich are now twice as large as the normal size.
I FEEL LIKE I'M LIVING INSIDE SOMEONE ELSES BODY! I don't feel comfortable with myself at all!
That was it. You may consider me as superficial, because I know that there are people in MUCH worse situations. All I wanted was to vent, actually, and now that I did it, I can't say I'm not feeling a little bit better. Goodnight everyone!
