Hello! After much lurking here and on Reddit finally decided to pull the trigger and make an account and place an order.
I’ve struggled with weight my whole life, and pretty much the only time I was what was considered a healthy weight was back in high school (11 years ago now, and I can remember having issues with food even in elementary school). At that point, I was very active and running all the time in cross country and track and even then, I was the biggest on the team and borderline overweight. As an adult and after reflecting on my eating habits, I would say I likely had/ have some binge adjacent tendencies and am an emotional eater. I managed to stop most of that and now I genuinely enjoy eating healthy and try to stay active. But, the damage has been done and every time I would try to really track calories, it would go well, then not, and I’d end up heavier than when I started and it’s a vicious cycle I can’t seem to break and after seeing the scale creep up it feels very overwhelming.
After a lot of reading I landed on reta + cagri to start and just placed my first order. I’m hoping they can help jumpstart some weight loss (along with diet and exercise), quiet food noise, and help me feel more confident and not so… hopeless? Help me hate myself less? I’m sure many can relate but my weight has definitely affected a lot of areas of my life between how I feel about myself, forming platonic and especially romantic relationships, how I interact with family, my general outlook, and how I feel about health and exercise.
Anyways, I’m excited to take this step and I’m looking forward to learning more and seeing how this goes!
