I'm on antibiotics right now and cant decide if its those or my anxiety or just hormones that has me feeling a fat puffer fish. Maybe its all 3 working together to piss me off. Putting on pants with buttons is a pain in the ass right now so I think I will be living my "stretchy pants era" for a bit 😅 Anyone else deal with this while on antibiotics??

Has anyone tried OMAD (one meal a day)? I made it 3 days before the schedule made it almost impossible to stick to. But for those 3 days I actually FELT really good. I wonder if there are "tricks" to make it easier when I have a husband and child and friends who always wanna go out to eat or eat at random times. It's basically a form of intermittent fasting but the shortest one possible (one hour window). Maybe I need to have a larger window....

I swear I can be in a great mood but the second I have to decide what to wear, it changes my mood. I wish I could dress all "cute" but I am not comfortable in anything since putting on so much weight. I find myself always in leggings and tshirts. I don't wear dresses anymore. I donated all my "girly" shirts because I felt so uncomfortable in them (or they just didn't fit anymore). The identity crisis is real the second I walk into my closet.

I was hefty after having my daughter. Gained 55lbs while pregnant. In 2010 I was still 200lbs. By 2017 I had gotten to 160lbs with muscle. And now in 2025 I have ballooned back up to 200lbs and am so disappointed in myself. I look every day for motivation and willpower and 80% of the time I find it...but 20% of the time I hit a black hole of despair and sabotage myself. I don't know if the weight gain is just what happens when you get older or if its hormones or lack of metabolism and if I can even "fix it".
