Hey guys, I just started intern year (internal med). And I'm just posting this to see if this is actually possible and to hear tips/stories from those that have done it.
Fitness and nutrition have always been super important to me, and I am used to having a fitter physique. Unfortunately, I had a really rough last few med school rotations followed by a couple months where all I did was vacation and sleep, so I gained quite a bit of weight and am currently the heaviest I have ever been.
I swore to myself I would lose this weight during intern year but everyone I tell this to basically laughs in my face and says "girl you are not going to have the time or energy" and "you'll be lucky if you even maintain your weight." But like. No. I want to LOSE weight. I am not comfortable with how I look or how I feel. I am super determined. But at the same time I have no idea what lies ahead.
For those of you who have lost weight or know people who have during intern year I'd love to hear your stories and tips! Sorry if there is already a thread on this, I couldn't find one though :/ Thanks in advance
