In my last post I had though I actually made some progress, but today I feel like I'm back at square one. I guess I can say that I'm used to this feeling and I know I can't be impatient with my progress. As Rome was not built in one day, the 80+ pounds that I have lost so far was lost in a span of a whole year, or 12 months, while multitasking.
I strongly believe that most of the people dedicating themselves to weight loss probably weren't doing much else other than working and spending the time each day in the gym lifting weights (that's my guess). Though since I'm not a body builder, I spend some of my time maybe watching social media or reading articles online about this topic of weight loss.
I have seen some people lose 100 pounds in just six months but for all the things that are going on in my life right now, to me it made sense to just take things slow and any sort of progress that I make is probably much better than no progress made at all.
I don't know if I have mentioned this yet but I pretty much went a whole 9 years without making any progress at all in losing weight and I was trying all that time over and over again to find the right diet, but all those attempts failed miserably.
For most of my life, I have tried my best to "find the easy way out" I guess you can say in looking for different ways to lose weight without spending 2-4 hours a day in the gym lifting weights. I have tried the gym before, and honestly I can say now that it's not for me.
I have a friend that also lost weight himself by riding a bicycle and lifting weights at home. Those gym memberships can be pretty expensive, but if you shop around you can find some pretty cheap ones too. But for me it didn't make sense to sign up for maybe the 20th time and not even use the membership.
I have done that way too much and I knew I had to stop. But anyways, recently I noticed that I have been going a bit overboard with eating a bit too much and that's probably going to be a given when I haven't been eating more than one meal a day for the last 12 months.
I am also taking a medication that might be making it harder to lose weight so I might have to stop that medication in the future if I'm not really making progress like I should be. And I've also been avoiding going for walks too for the last few weeks but I just recently started doing that again.
Anyways, this post was just another post to keep my blog active and maybe to update my readers on my progress. I may sound like I'm getting frustrated and might sound like I want to give up but that's not true at all.
After doing some research it shows that the medication I'm taking (Abilify 2mg's) does actually increase my cravings for food and there is a lot more to it than just that so if you want to read more on this check out this link.
