Boredom and comfort eating is certainly a factor with me. I also think if you're on psych meds,especially antipsychotics,then it's easy to gain and hard to lose.

I cut out 2-3 takeaways a week (sometimes for 2 people) thinking i would lose weight.
I lost a mere 6lbs in 13 weeks although the calorific value of the takeaways had been very high.
In the end i got despondent and gave up. Due to problems identifying goals and future plans that was the only goal i could think of, and in the end the thought of dieting for nearly three years,at the rate i was losing,to get to a good weight , was just too daunting and too long a goal to conquer.

The only way i see to lose at a decent rate is to diet and come off meds and if i do that my emotional reactivity ,which has got me into trouble in the past,along with paranoia and weird thoughts,will increase.

Not cured,fat,but more stable on meds, or not cured,less stable, and eventually a good weight off meds ?
