A short backstory on what brought me to this point:
Several years back, I made the choice to stop both smoking and vaping.
That was a good thing, but it had a side effect: I started eating more.
Soon after that, beta blockers were prescribed to me, and from that point my weight really started climbing.
Even though I exercise regularly 3-5x per week, shedding pounds has stayed incredibly tough because of the beta blockers and the nonstop food noise. (plus kids filling the candy cupboard
)
After plenty of reading online, I found info on reta and tirz, and it felt like one of those could be worth a shot.
Because my doctor didn't make me feel heard when I asked about starting something like tirz, I chose to go my own way.
In the end, I think my health is my own responsibility, and I should handle it as well as I possibly can..
Given that beta blockers were given to me because of some pvc's and similar issues, after reading a lot I may be better suited to the tirz route rather than reta.
I'm curious what experiences people here have had while on similar medications, or in a comparable situation!
So, here I am now, hoping to go from 215lbs down to at least 170, that would be the aim.
