Struggling with Chronic Illness and Mental Health

I have those diagnoses too! I finally had a doc who gave me more options than the usual eat healthy &exercise. I actually started Saxenda. The main ingredient is the same as the diabetes med Victoza just at a higher dose that helps more specifically with weight loss at that higher dose. I was hesitant for sure bc it is a shot/pen. I was expecting a huge needle. And I went to the doc to get a tutorial like the packaging said and I opened the needle and felt immediately embarrassed bc it is super tiny. Doesn't hurt anymore. I take it at night bc it curbs my night desire to binge. And it really helps. More than I expected. I've been on it I think about 3 months and I lost 33.8 lbs so far. I never thought I would resort to meds for weight loss. but it was the only other option for me, with those disorders and how it interacts with the body. And I was just super unhealthy. I haven't gotten blood work or anything done yet- that's in a month. But I feel so great! I have more energy, and less pain and I'm not starving all night leading to bingeing. I'm excited to see how my blood tests come back. I still have a ton of weight to lose but it is a major start!

Oh...my...god!! finally, someone said it. I recently got diagnosed with fatty liver and PCOS as well and I have had an eating disorder since I was a child. I exercise but I lose the motivation so it's more of an off-and-on thing. My family is in a poor financial state so it's hard for us to afford healthier options and a dietitian so I am miserable and struggling with my weight.

I have a dietitian but I have not been completely honest with her... I shame myself when I don't stick to the meal plan and embarrassed to admit it. Then beat myself up why I'm not making any progress. Even if it is just a slight goof up.
