Honestly, I think I had a cyst on my left ovary that made me gain some weight while abroad. I had been working out, but my diet wasn’t the best, last year.
Since I have been back in the states, I have quit caffeine, sodas, and fast food. I have been trying to eat more vegetables, and have begun drinking soy milk again, like I used to in high school. I have been running one mile per day, and walking one mile per day, as well. I have also been swimming laps, but I was doing that while abroad, too. I really think the change in diet has helped.
If anyone is struggling with their weight, hang in there. I wasn’t heavily overweight, but it is a relief to have a healthy BMI now. Even if no one notices, keep going. I still have a relative that is trying to convince people to call me a nickname she created in the ‘90’s, that means “fat”. If you have people like that in your life, too, ignore them. They’re probably just projecting their own issues onto you. It says more about their issues than yours, when they attack others. Stay healthy!
Hell yeah! Except the part about your relative, that’s some bullshit
Most Americans lose weight once they go someplace where the food isn’t literal poison every meal.
I guess you decided to do it backwards. Hopefully you can escape the country again.
Worms.
I’m jk lol sheesh
I actually did dose myself with wormwood tea and take some pyrantel after coming back to America. I had been living off of tap water that was sourced from a lake that had leeches, and wasn’t chlorinated after being taken from that source. Now every time I see water with bubbles in it, I make a joke that it’s leeches breathing in the water.
