Dieting on Steroids During the Pandemic
Well, I've been on steroids daily for close to 3 years, I work out 3-5 days a week so I manage to maintain my weight (still overweight) but didn't gain any. I went on injections for my asthma and within 3 months, I gained almost 20 pounds. I had to come off the shot because of the side effects and months later the weight was still there. But, I got up off my butt! During the pandemic, I was determined so I started eating better, stopped snacking between meals, and whenever my lungs allowed me to work out I used my equipment that was collecting dust in the basement. In 3 months, I've lost 23 pounds so I'm on my way to a better me but it was hard, believe me!
