    congrats on the weight loss! its so dam hard. its been one of the major challenges of my adult life. calorie counting is one of the things that finally helped me too, and also finally being medicated for my ADHD. the stimulants reduced my appetite a lot so i wasnt overeating as much and i actually had the motivation to count my calories and stay around my target for the day. ive been off my meds for the past few months and its been so nice to see that i was able to keep the weight off and even drop a couple more pounds.

    keep it up, it does get easier as you go as long as you arent in too big a deficit! if you run into a wall at some point, or start thinking about food all the time, try upping your calories for a week or two to give your body a chance to get out of starvation mode. its called a refeed if you want to read more about it.

      stimulants

      venting again n a bit sensitive info

      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA why why why why, every online making me hurt

      i cant even get fcking pregabalin/gabapentin for my fibromyalgia, they gatekeeping me, cuz every doctor is “U NARCOMANNNN!!!”, but drug addicts also dont deserve be treated like that!!!, i hate bigots…

      stimulants are just illegal absolutly, with up to life time prison and narcopsychiatrical prisons

      i had tried self-med pregabalin and IT WORKS, i just felt normal with it, no muscle pain/tensions, movement problems at all…, and fixed some my other problems
