That sounds tasty! Soup is a good way to fill you up so you don't eat as much during your meal.
I don't know if it was the meds that were making me fat or what, but since I stopped taking all medications about a couple of years ago, I've gone back to my normal baseline weight and I maintain it without effort.
I can fit back into all of my late high school clothes and even my prom dress.
Unfortunately it's not always a good idea to stop medications so it may be something one has to live with.
I'll never be stick skinny. I'm still on the higher end of normal weight and I don't think I'm meant to be on the lower end. I've accepted it.
One weird thing....I find that dieting backfires on my like 99% of the time. I will lose weight but it is always regained. I get super hungry after a month or so and I gain everything back.
I've abandoned the whole concept of dieting altogether now. If I want to eat that 2000 Calorie burger with cheese, bacon, fries and a cream soda I will. It gives me a lot of pleasure and satisfies me for a long time.
I'm finding that it will balance out for me now. My body just knows to eat less in the coming days to make up for that indulgence.
I wonder if those trying to lose weight might have more success if they stopped thinking out food all the time? Hmmm...
