So, I went back to the Dr. and discovered that I am insulin resistant...I happen to create 3x the amount of insulin that I'm supposed to and my body's cells don't seem to really know how to use it! How crazy is that! This can cause weight gain, depression, hunger (in my case bingeing). How cool is that to know that I'm not insane! I was binge eating to satisfy the huge amount of insulin and then purging to make myself feel better! Holy crap - it all makes sense now...
When I went to the Dr. 1 week ago, I'm afraid to admit that I was up to 181.2. When I weighed this week.....are you ready.....170.8! In ONE week! I'm sure the pills and shots are helping with that but isn't this great! And I'm eating...NOT bingeing...even though I'd really like a cupcake...so therefore, no purging.
I haven't been exercising much, but he told me to take it easy with that for the first couple weeks.
I just can't believe that this is working! I would encourage anyone who may have the same problems I've had to check into the Insulin Resistance thing - It could save your life!!
omg good for you! how exciting! I'm glad the dr could help you! did you go see a diet specialist or your general md?
