Weightloss & Life Update: May 4

First starting Ozempic vs April 28

Hey ladies and gents!

Today, I will discuss my weight loss and other life issues.

So, I no longer want a relationship with my sister. She’s no longer in contact with me. I blocked her number and social media accounts. I just can’t handle her anymore. It was over something stupid anyway.

Moving on, I’m struggling with my eating disorder. I keep binge eating for emotional reasons. I guess the situation with my sister has made me depressed and anxious.

I have a toothache, but it’s mild. It’s from when I broke my tooth at crackle barrel on hamburger steak. Then, I chipped a tooth, eating a bag of chips. I will eventually find a dentist to take care of it. Right now, we can’t find a dentist close enough. Plus, I want to trust the dentist with my teeth.

We had issues with the dentist in the past. That’s for another blog post. I might not even post about it, but I might. I just want to know I’m in good hands. The one past lied about being licensed. I hope that never happens again.

So I bought a kitchen scale for helping portions sizes. I got it in my over the counter from my insurance. I also got a dental guard to help me from not grinding my teeth a night. I have yet to try it out still.

I’m staying at 345.9 pounds so far. I haven’t gained or lost any pounds. I’m trying really hard to change my diet. I’m doing more since it’s spring. We are also going to stop eating out.

It’s causing me not to lose much weight. I also have been walking more. I do need a workout once or twice a week. I do no equipment exercises. It seems to help, but I can’t stick with it. Any suggestions welcome to get me to work out more.

I also need some suggestions on which calorie calculators use grams to measure out foods. I’m having a little bit of issues getting the right measurements when I prepare my plate.

Also, do plastic plates make a difference on the kitchen scale? I’m really curious it’s an 11-pound weight limit.

Also, if you have any weight loss tips, post them in comments. It’s much appreciated for me trying to get healthy.

Weight Loss and Life Update: March 4

Hello Ladies & Gents. Welcome to my blog post!

So it has been a rough couple of months. We had to pay property taxes in February. January was rough emotionally because I was stressed out and struggling with my eating disorder. This Month we had to get the car fixed. It cost way too much, but we had enough leftover for food, drinks and bills. A family member helped us out with the cost of the repairs. I’m still struggling with my binge-eating disorder.

I guess the root cause is my childhood trauma and watching my mom pass away in front of me. After she passed away, I gained a lot of weight, I was simply overeating at family gatherings and making myself look bad. I felt i needed to make a change for my health. I also was struggling to lose weight naturally.

Ozempic is helping a lot with my PCOS and weight loss. I’m 349.2 now, which you can really tell in my stomach. I also can do things I couldn’t before. Not only that, but I’m happy losing weight with help. If you’d want to know my previous weight, look at older weight loss posts. I am trying to eat healthier and watch how much I eat.

I wouldn’t have gotten this fair if it wasn’t for the encouragement from my friends and family. Also, to everyone who read my blog, thanks for reading these updates.

Weightloss Journey and Life Update

Hello Ladies & Gents!

♡ Weightloss Update♡

So I’ve been eating healthy lately with a mix of small portions of junk food. I’m not going to be restrictive when it comes to food. I’ve learned it’s always portions sizes. Plus, I still eat one or two meals a day.

I weighed myself yesterday day. I weighed 357.1 compared to my previous week, which was 362.8. I’ve lost 5 pounds, but from last doctors, visit I’ve gained 3 pounds.

So I’ve been weighing myself every two weeks. It seems to keep me on track, and I take my ozempic injection tomorrow. Which my dad helps me with. I really appreciate it his help because I’d have no idea how to take an injection by myself.

♡Life Update♡

I’ve been reading lately and doing my Bookastgram. Also, I’ve been more active on threads lately. I’m trying to meet people my age. All my friends are younger or older than me.

I make friends better online than in person. My bestie disappeared on me, which worries me so much. I hope I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m hoping she’s just busy with work and taking a break from social media.

Snow is doing well but still has bladder issues. It’s old age because she’s almost 15 years old. She’s getting enough love and care from me. Eventually, we have to get rid of her, but I’m going to enjoy the time I have left with her.

My mental health is going really well. The seasonal depression is gone. I guess it’s because I was missing my mom, and holidays were hard without her. I have been taking my medicine more. My doctor lowered my Gabapentin to 100 MG three times a day to help my weight loss. It’s supposed to be used for my anxiety, which I haven’t had in a few days.

We had issues with pharmacy at access hospital outpatient. They aren’t even getting my Invega Sustenna injection anymore. So we have to get from Walmart before my next appointment. My next appointment is on February 8th. I’m not looking forward to it because the injection hurts sometimes.

That’s all I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed my post!

Weight Loss and Life Update: December 11th

Hey Ladies & Gents!

Today will be discussing my weight loss and life update. So I’ve been struggling with my eating habits. I’ve been eating two to three meals a day instead of just one. So I’ve put on a bit of weight as a result. I haven’t been working out like I’m supposed to because I have no energy to.

I have blood work on Thursday and my mental health doctor. Hopefully my iron is up because I’ve been taking an iron vitamin. I’ll have my nurse weigh me as well. My bathroom scale isn’t accurate sometimes. Last time I checked, I was 360 pounds.

The Ozempic is still working, it’s just my other meds make me have appetite. They cause weight gain, which is not helping me at all stay healthy. My mental health medicine is keeping me stable. I’ve been stable for almost 4 years now. I haven’t been in the hospital since 2018.

So, some other things going on in my life. We finished Christmas shopping. It’s for everyone and including my dad and me. I’m so excited to see who comes for our yearly Christmas exchange. We are going to smash burger with everyone on Sunday.

Weightloss And life Update: October 26th

Hey Ladies & Gents!
So I’m not doing so well lately. My pharmacy has my Ozempic still on back order. I haven’t had an Ozempic injection in three weeks. Which gaining back weight has me feeling like crap. I had a chef salad yesterday, but it didn’t keep me full. So I had french fries in the air fryer with Kroger sweet and sour sauce.

I haven’t been eating that healthy lately, which I’m disappointed in myself. I feel as if I need to continue to use my calorie app to make sure I’m eating right.
The last few times we’ve eaten, my dad made my plate. So my portion sizes were smaller, so that’s a win. I did eat one pork chop instead of two a few days ago.

I ate too many fried potatoes because I hadn’t had them in a while. I had some for lunch and some for dinner. I only ate fried potatoes for dinner instead of full meal.

As for my mental health, it’s going pretty well. The doctor did lower a medication because I was oversleeping. Maybe I’m just bored or lacking inspiration for my hobbies.
Although I do write when my focus is better.
I haven’t been reading lately because I feel like I can’t keep focus very long. I love to read, but I can’t seem to get into books I get from Dollar Tree.
Like I get the books are cheap, but once in a while, I’d like a book I’d actually can buy more than a dollar twenty-five. I want books from Walmart, but they are more expensive.

Also, we’ve started Christmas shopping. I want an animal crossing new horizons for my switch. I’m alright not getting the Sims 4 expansion packs this year. I can get them eventually, but I would rather get switch games.

Well, thanks for reading!

Weightloss & Weekly Update: September 27th

Hey Ladies & Gents.

So when I went to my psychiatrist nurse. I was weighed, and it was 346 or 348. She said she could tell I was losing weight.

I’ve been having constipation and diarrhea from time to time.It’s a side effect of ozempic. I also had an issue that’s nothing worry about, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

I’ve been working out for two days straight. I was doing the plus-size workouts from my previous blog post. I’m trying to be more active at home. The workouts I’m doing are on YouTube.

I’m hurting a lot because I did a long workout. There were some things I couldn’t do. I did alright to get moving, and I actually felt energized after the workout and did the dishes without hurting.

I did out of the house and went to see Expandables 4 with my dad and his best friend. I had nachos and popcorn, but the seats were very uncomfortable. It was a different theater than we normally go to with luxury loungers.

It was 15 bucks for the three of us. Which is 5 dollars a ticket on Tuesday instead of 6 bucks at our normal theater.

I will do a review of that later on. Probably tomorrow when I’m not busy. So be sure to look forward to that tomorrow. It’ll be great to share my thoughts spoiler free, of course.

Overall, my weight loss is going well. I’ve lost 25 pounds in total. I am doing my best to eat right. It’s super hard to do so when your income can only get so much each month.

We tend to buy fruits and vegetables and stuff for salad most of the time. I buy avocado and yogurt for myself, but my dad doesn’t like it. I need to find an easier way to cut avocado. I always mess up, to be honest. My diet is healthy overall, but we do get fast food sometimes.

I need to cut back on cheese because it caused me to have constipation and made my stool hard and made it hard from me to the bathroom. That’s the issue I’ve been having lately.

Weightloss Update: September 14

Hey Ladies & Gents!

So I’ve been trying to eat less, but somehow gained 2 pounds. I guess it’s because I started eating breakfast in the mornings with iced coffee. Which is oatmeal or cereal because it’s quick to make. For snacks, I’ve been eating avocado with salt and cheese and crackers. As well as a meals like beef stew, sweet and sour chicken, fried cabbage, onions, potatoes and smoked sausage. 

I try to eat healthy, but sometimes it is hard on a budget. If you have any healthy cheap recipes, please comment on this post. I would love some ideas of foods. I should be eating during my weight loss instead of all the foods I’ve been eating.

I started 2 mg of Ozempic today. My twitter friends said I’ll lose more weight on 2 mg than I did on 1 mg. I’m hoping to find some workouts to help me lose weight. I prefer walking in place workouts, but If you know any plus-sized workouts, please post links to YouTube videos in the comments or send them to PeculiarSimmer on X/Twitter or Instagram.

I weigh 362.8 pounds currently, but I might lose more if workout or walk around while shopping. So any encouragement would be nice.

Thanks for reading!

Weightloss Update: August 10

Hey ladies & gents.

I relapse on undiagnosed binge eating disorder. I binge ate for three-four days straight. It was mostly cheese and junk food.

I feel ashamed because I’m trying to lose weight. Eating healthy is very hard for me. Especially when we’re on a social security income.

We had Chinese food yesterday. It was smaller portion size than my dad’s food. I ate it all and felt full. The two days before, we had Taco Salad.

I’m supposed to be intermitting fasting 2-3 days a week to lose weight. I haven’t been doing it because I actually don’t know how I’ll react to not having any food in my stomach. Only drinking water for hours.

I keep weighing myself to see my progress. I’m 359.8 pounds now. Before, I was 363.5 pounds when I binge ate. Before that, I was 360.9 pounds. So I’m making progress so fair with ozempic injection.

I will continue to take my ozempic injection and try to eat healthy and exercise more. I looked myself in a mirror, and I’m not happy with the way I looked. My legs are huge, and my stomach is so chubby.

I would show you, but I’m body conscious lately. I had to buy new 3x shorts as well because my 3x shorts fell apart at the crotch part. So now I’m wearing my tan shorts they are 4x.

I’m trying my best to keep myself from eating so much. I just get stressed and emotionally drained. Which starts a binge for me.
