30lbs

Officially down 30lbs! 5’3” SW: 196, CW:166, GW: not sure yet.

I have been lucky enough to continue to lose on the lowest dose, 2.5mg. I feel SOO much better. I sleep better, feel more confident in clothes, more comfortable in my own skin.

I take a two weeks break between each 4 doses, in part to spread out the cost (not covered by insurance), and to try to practice discipline while off the medication. I still have some poor eating habits, snacked on a bit too much candy this last week, but I believe in balance.

I am still considered “overweight” in the BMI scale, but I don’t believe in that measurement.

Numb

I relapsed today, again, I spent my entire paycheck (had some left for groceries but that’s it). And won’t have any money for another two weeks.

The worst part is, I don’t even know what I’m chasing anymore. I don’t feel anything gambling. I don’t get a rush from a win, I don’t feel like my chest is caving in after a loss like I used to. It’s just a sick compulsion that I can’t stop myself from doing. I know I need to stop, but I keep pushing those buttons.

My mind feels more at ease after I have nothing left, like I’m finally free from it because there’s nothing left to spend. I feel like I can’t function with extra money in my account, I’m not wired to live a normal life, happy, and successful life.

Just lost I suppose.

Has anyone revoked from Sezzle? I intend to pay them back when I can, but they will not work with me. They want a payment of $460 next week, and I simply cannot do it.

Thank you.

How do we stop the cycle? Up and down, money in the bank to nothing. Do we ever recover ? Is this ever going to get better?

I want to be ahead in life. I make a decent salary, there’s no reason for me to be broke, other than my own self inflicted torture with this disease.

I’m just tired. And I don’t want to be this way anymore.
