ORIGINAL: Mellissande Ok, fast reply again. Restricting my calories any more will, and has, hurt me. I have been informed by my nutritionist that I am not eating enough which is just causing my body to go into "starvation mode" turns out 500 or so calories a day isn't enough lol. I don't have trouble with eating too much, I have trouble being able to eat enough. The rapid weight loss is because I am finally on the meds that I should be on for my medical conditions that have been stopping me from losing the weight. I do not have a vehicle nor the money for a membership at the YMCA. My husband and I don't make out. He has nasty gingivitis that he refuses to take care of, so he gets no kisses. I am lucky if our sex lasts 2 minutes. And that includes "foreplay". I have social anxiety and no friends to go with me to help it. My husband refuses to go with me to the gym or anywhere to work out. I am seeing a dietician and a doctor, both of whom are happy with the weight loss and expect to see it slow down a bit soon, as my body gets used to the meds sorting out my hormones. I have severe PCOS, hirsutism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, all of which make it much harder to have any kind of self esteem, especially in a bathing suit. And top it off with back pain that makes shaving a near impossible task. Suffice it to say that I am only looking for something I can do in the privacy of my own home, please stop trying to make me feel like an idiot for not going to the public pools. I have my reasons. Please also understand that I am in the middle of nowhere Kansas and the only person I know here is my husband, who is gone 5 days a week with our only vehicle from 0530 until sometimes as late as 2000. Well, you obviously can afford to see the doctors, so add therapist to the list so you can learn some tools for dealing with your social anxiety. Also, your doctors/nutritionist are not happy with the way you have been losing weight, or they wouldn't have told you what you were doing wrong. I get the back pain, I really, really do. I don't drive, but my area has a local bus for disabled people to get to various places. This morning I took the bus to town for a dentist appointment. I ended up having to sit in the back, which is not a good place for someone with back problems. I will now spend the next two days (at least) trying to recover from that nightmare ride.
