Weight gain and stretch marks because of medication

Ewww reading this post dude I totally understand. I was a mess as a teen, I seriously hated myself and everything in my life was terrible. I was trapped in the closet, my girlfriend at the time tried committing suicide and my family life was a disaster. So as life goes I developed an eating disorder. Well, I developed one after losing 80lbs. I was super overweight in high school and decided to starve my way down my senior year. Obviously that was the wrong decision. I looked good but I felt like shit and I started binging and starving myself to compensate. Basically my life became unmanageable and I had no support so I made the decision to get treatment. Which was a miracle for me. But they put me on quite the cocktail of medication. The good thing was I was floating on a pink cloud, but the bad thing was I gave no shits about anything, and I had no problem with that. Now the doctor will say "oh meds don't cause weight gain it's the change in energy levels and diet" bullshit. Do some googling and you'll discover an endless amount of people who have gained weight from antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. And it's hard to fight for yourself when youre half drugged out of your mind you know? So I wound up gaining weight again from this cocktail, and reached a breaking point about 8 months ago. I knew I was on way too many meds and I got off of them. I had a strong talk with my doctor who discouraged me from going off meds, but I decided I needed to do me. I'm only on the lowest dose of Wellbutrin right now, honestly it doesn't do much for me though. It is a stimulant however so thats nice. Jesus this is long winded my bad. Anyways as of right now I've lost 30lbs, I'm walking and going to the gym 6 days a week. Im also using my fitness pal every day. The weight is literally falling off of me and I'm not starving myself its a miracle honestly. Also I'm going to school and I feel goddamn amazing. Like I'm kicking life's ass right now and using all the coping skills I've learned. I go to Nami meetings as well. If you need someone to talk to I'm here and I love to talk as you can see. I wish you luck!!!! YOU CAN DOOOO ITTTT

Beginner seeking weightlifting workout routine advice Fallen off the bandwagon and I really need some help getting back on it Anyone ever feel discouraged because you lost weight, gained it back and more, and now have to lose it again? when is it unhealthy to be too hungry? how do you guys feel about the changing attitudes towards obesity? do you think it is helpful or hurtful? Did anyone else lose the weight just to end up... not looking that much better? Does it affect your motivation in maintaining? I was the fat friend last night. I literally don't know what to do with myself.
