Really I just want to be skinny enough to fit in Figs Scrubs. I would be fine stopping there. I don’t need to be skinny. I don’t need to be a model. I don’t need to wear string bikinis. I just want to be one of the cool kids and fit in Figs.

"I'm mad at god cause I prayed last night and I woke up with the same size. I fell in love with a girl this time and my mum says that's is not right. No I don't wanna be bitter, or come across as a quitter. But I'm getting kinda tired. I'm mad at god cause if he exists why do I still feel like this?"

I have been fat my entire life. I was born fat. Both of my daughters put together does not equal how much I weighed at birth. It has been a lifelong struggle. Some thing that I have been embarrassed about my entire life. I was at my fittest my senior year of high school. I worked out in the gym every single day. And I was on a medication that I very much needed but one of the positive side effects for me was that it killed my appetite.And then I went off to college and gained the freshman 15 and then some. And I didn’t have time to work out and there weren’t healthy options available to me and things got worse. As an adult my weight is slowly climbed. When I was trying to get pregnant I was spending so much time working out and very closely monitoring everything that I eat and I was able to lose some weight and I had to get me get pregnant. But then I had children and I haven’t had the time or the ability to work out and then Covid hit and the rare opportunities that I had to go to the gym were no more. So I’m currently at my highest weight (353) and it is something that I hate and it’s something that I want to change.

I had an appointment with my doctor this week and she said your labs look great everything looks perfect. But then she asked “have you ever thought about the weight loss surgery?“ That completely surprised me. There’s never been any talk about seeing a dietitian or things that I can do to change. She instantly went to this very permanent very invasive option. I told her that I wasn’t very interested in that because working in an ICU I have seen weight loss surgeries go horribly wrong. And she told me that that’s the old way but I should consider getting a sleeve or banding. I want to make changes for myself. But I don’t know how. The things that I’ve done haven’t been successful. But I really don’t want to think about any sort of surgical intervention. I want to be skinny. I am healthy according to my labs I’m just fat. But I do worry about long-term about potentially developing things down the road.

So I guess I’m setting out on a weight-loss journey. I wish there were more options to help me. My health insurance will only pay for me to meet with a dietitian if I have diabetes which I do not which the doctor was surprised I do not. You can be fat and not have diabetes! But they don’t cover preventative visits which seems very silly to me. And I can’t really pay out-of-pocket for food counseling or nutrition counseling or anything like that. The hope is that the pediatric vaccine will be approved soon and I can get my kids vaccinated and then we can start going back to the YMCA and I can start going back to the gym and working out. So I’m gonna start small and snack less and focus on healthy meals and start going for a walks around the hospital on my lunch break. And see if that makes any kind of difference and then once the weather improves I can start doing more things outside. I just wish that there were more resources that I could tap into without going The surgical route that my doctor wants me to.

Apparently there’s only one Irish dance school in my state. It’s 90 minutes each way from where we live. I’m very disappointed. I want my girls to be able to do Irish dance.
