Hitting 3 problems in 1 place

monocot

First Off I hate my Doctor. Doctors that are in Small towns are rejects from Bigger cities. So they aren't very Smart and they sure don't care. There are over 5000 people in my Small city and only 5 Doctors. But The other people of the health system are amazing.

I'm working on getting healthy. And I'm doing fairly well. 80 Lbs gone and 60 more to go.
But I've been plateauing for the past 2 months. No weight loss and no measurement changes
So I decided I would work harder on this.
So I'm Hitting some of my problems.
First I'm hitting a dietician. Who is looking through MFP to See what I eat. how I excersize. And She'll Figure out if I need
all the supplements that I'm taking and how much protein and fiber I actually do need.
My Dietician then recommend me to a personal Trainer. Who will Look at what kind of excersize I do, And see if its perfect for me and maybe add in some new stuff
My Dietician also is sending me to a counselor.
As a person loses weight, It's a lot to take it,. The changes, How you feel about it. how you feel about food. And How you use it comfort yourself. A lot of larger people who have lost weight Fully recommend a counselor because it Really screws with your head. I have Self image issues, I Go into a Binge after I get a compliment, I'm a emotional eater and so on..
And the best thing It's not costing a dime because its through Saskatchewan Health System!.
It was one of the reasons I hadn't gone to a personal Trainer and why I hadn't gone to a counselor because it would cost me alot of Money. I didn't realize that you can get that through the health system til now

Just wanted to add to this that I too am seeing a counselor. I have several issues going on with the breakup of a 7 year relationship and the the weight loss. I always thought that losing the weight would make all my problems go away, not true at all. Don't get me wrong I would never stop this journey but it has brought up issues I didn't know were there. I always hid in the background where no one paid attention to me. This weight loss has brought a lot of attention I am not used to so I need to learn to cope with it. It's getting better and I know that its a good thing with all these changes, even being single again. Just hard to have to start all over again but I'm strong and can do it! Good luck on your changes as well...

It's always hard with a break up.can I ask what kind of problems you had in your relationship. It wasn't to do with him not accepting you losing weight and stuff or anything was it?If you don't want to say. its just a question. I dont want to seem rude either.... I'm constantly paranoid that my bf will realize that he preferred the bigger Girl then teh smaller girl

We had problems before the weight loss, ours was more of an age difference. He was a lot younger than I am and wanted kids. At the beginning he said it wasn't an issue, at the end it was. But he has moved on and I understand that she is a younger version of the old me, so it's hard to say. I know he prefers plus size women though. Anyway, it was the best thing for both of us. I just don't move on as easy as he has, for me it takes time. My suggestion is to talk with him about it before it becomes a problem. Everyone need support on this journey. Thank goodness I have my MFP family to support me.
