Are you really fat or just weigh more than you used to. I know the drugs and crap for getting pregant bloat you. Now being more depressed because you gave up on trying to have a baby??? So, eat more. I did that and turned into a blimp for real. I look at pictures of me and UGGGGH! I lost the weight to a decent weight
Now I AM fat again, way over weight. At least 30 pounds over, and I hate it and can't lose it, and that is why I just quit eating. But that didn't work either as my metabolism just shut down. I keep thinking that all the other stuff is getting in the way of letting me lose weight, and my therapist gave me some ideas but also said I needed to be more stable emotionally and not to worry about it for now. Easy for him to say. That is when I finally told him I used to have an eating disorder (one of his areas of expertise), and I told him I was at the point of purging but had not done that yet and just was starving.
Oh crap, as I am now back to just eating whenever. I don't think therapist's understand how painful that is. Could you try a different medication. I am on Parnate now, and it gives me more energy, and when I was younger, Parnate really worked to lift the depression AND give me energy so I could lose weight. A double bonus. Unfortunately it is not working as well for me that way now. At least I am not gaining.
For lunch I had some oriental chicken and rice at work from the cafeteria. Then like a dummy I also bought a package of red licorice for later. Did I stop there? No. I also bought a Reezes peanut butter cups and just proceeded to eat it all for lunch with diet pop!! HAHA. So, if someone has an idea, I sure would like to hear it, and maybe you too??
