I always struggled with my weight - since I was little from middle school until now in college.
I lost weight before I went to college and of course gained it all back. plus some extra over my freshmen year. I had dated a guy over the summer & all we ate was fast food and I was at 196 at my biggest.
I finally decided it was time for a change, I left him and started working out.
I went to a well-known gastroenterologist doctor in my area and he gave me a prescription for Phentermine and a strict 1000 calorie diet plan.
It's hard to stick to the diet plan due to work & school but starting from 196 in Sept/Oct. and now Im at 173. My goal weight is 120 - 125 lbs.
But honestly it's gotten me quite down. I dont feel like I've seen results at all. Friends & family say differently but I can't see it.
It makes me quite depressed and I still get upset about it frequently. I feel like I should be losing it faster.
I need some advice of people who are stuck like I am. Like if it is just me being obsessive about losing weight now or am I being too hard on myself?
Am I losing the weight at a normal or fast pace? Or is it too slow?
I am 19 years old, 5'4", I work and go to school so I'm pretty active. I smoke cigarettes occasionally but no more then 1 or 2 a day. I played a lot of sports in high school and played a few in college.
Thanks!
