My First Weeks on Medication

My #WeightLossJourney - From 323lbs to 200lbs!

Today I am discussing my very first few weeks I’ve had when it comes to me taking depression medication. I had a panic attack at work a couple of weeks ago, and with the encouragement and love from my family, I went to my first physical in years. And I was prescribed depression medication for the very first time. I also have been doing therapy, but we will discuss that Friday. The very first thing I was told is that nothing much would change in the first week or two. I definitely agreed. My body was just slowly getting used to the medication and it didn’t feel that much different. But that didn’t last long because by Week 2, I had to up a dose in the medication. Things changed for the better. Many things have happened because of this. I feel more productive in my daily life than I have ever been. I have been going out with friends more often. I’ve been going on dates! I would have so much insecurity and anxiety over going on dates with people, but it’s disappeared! I have feel a lot fuller quicker. I don’t need to overeat anymore. Once I get to the 2800 calorie mark, I feel full enough. I’ve been working out great. No complaints there! And ultimately, I feel happier. I have never felt this happy in a long time. This is just only a few first weeks. I’m still trying to figure out if there is any real side effects to this drug. I’ll be real and say maybe the only thing it has had a side effect on is my sexual drive. But that’s some personal stuff I won’t get into. I’ll be seeing the doctor before my Walk for Hunger and do a check-in. We’ll see what happens, but it’s all good news on the medication front! If you didn’t know, I am doing Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger 20-Mile Walk on May 6th, 2018. Please donate whatever you can at http://www.bit.ly/ChrisHungerWalk. Together, we can end childhood hunger! --------------------- My name is Chris Raynerson and I am on a Weight Loss Journey. Beginning back in the Fall of 2016, I was sick and tired of being unhealthy. I felt like garbage, I felt unaccomplished and want to improve my life for the better. So I began documenting my weight loss journey on social media and have lost over 45lbs! This channel is my video journal discussing all the good, bad, and some great tips I learned during my Weight Loss Journey. I will have weekly weigh-ins, accomplishing weekly/monthly/yearly goals. I'll also give you all useful tips I have found during my Weight Loss Journey. Follow me on my journey, and I hope I can help push you into creating a journey of your own!
