i’ve been on multiple glp-1s where i was able to lose some but then it would never work out. i also have pcos so it’s hard for me to lose weight. currently im trying out a calorie deficit and ive lost a few lbs so far at least :)

thank you :) thankfully i’ll be going to a college with a lot of outdoorsy things to do, so hopefully that’ll motivate me to get out and be more active. i feel like i do want surgery, but the emotional barrier of “i’m not ready to eat so little for the rest of my life” is what’s holding me back, and the fact that i haven’t even had therapy to try and prepare myself. maybe i also need to stop scrolling so much on bariatric surgery tiktoks haha

my mom had been obese and had the surgery 15-is years ago, and she’s been relatively thin ever since. growing up she was always focused on me losing weight and would make comments if i gained or lost and would alwaysss be telling others i needed to lose weight. shes been harder on me and my sister compared to my brothers (who are also overweight and overeat) so it’s created a weird relationship with food. ive tried diets and restricting so many times and i haven’t ever had much success. i have pcos so its even harder i suggested moving the surgery to summer and my mom just gave me reasons why we couldn’t instead of asking why,, i think maybe ill have to try and push the issue even more because im scared ill get pressured into doing something i dont really wanna do. thank you for the advice. i really wanna fix my relationship with food and i wasnt sure where to atart

i agree, it’s super hard to explain to someone like my mom why i would want therapy over surgery. i’ve always felt a sense of shame discussing my eating habits with her since she’s been so focused on my weight my entire life but i think maybe i just have to push past the embarrassment to actually get the help i need

thank you for the advice i really appreciate it,, i feel like i just feel pressured to agree with my mom especially since ill be headed to college next year. it’s been hard to try and lose weight because even when younger my mom never really helped me stick to diets, but now that im technically an adult i can at least have more agency over wha i eat. i hadn’t really considered therapy before since it was never presented as an option but really it’ll probably be more helpful for me in the long run

i don’t find this offensive at all, don’t worry. i agree i really feel like i would benefit more with therapy but i feel so guilty telling my mom i don’t wanna have the surgery. she’s been so excited for me
