Confused after 16 years- weight expectations? Changes?
I recently stopped taking the shot after I have been on consistently for roughly 16 years. I was curious about people’s experiences with weight loss or gain, both after being on it a long time and coming off it after using it for a long time.
Over the last few years I started noticing things. More hair growth, and weight gain. I have a lot of anxiety around that, so once I hit 160 (I am 5’6”) I sought help from a nutritionist for eating disorders. Now I am almost 190 and miserable (switched nutritionists too).
I guess my question is whether anyone else had been on it this long and what your experience was getting off it? Did you gain weight? Lose it? I’m really worried I will keep growing and according to the doctor certain side effects can actually happen later on even after being on the shot for a while…… But I know the only way to see what’s going on with me in terms of that is to eliminate that variable.
I also found out recently that my mom’s side does have history with endometriosis and this may have helped prevent that from happening to me. Not sure if it helps to note that at all too.
