I finally bit the bullet and weighed myself...it wasn't pretty. I weigh half a stone more than I thought I did, which is 1 1/2 stone more than is normal for me. The passivity/apathy I feel (mentioned in the other thread about antipsychotics) meant I gave in a while back and just bought some trousers a size bigger than my usual size because I couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, but now they are too tight too

I simply REFUSE to get fatter!! All I want to do is cry, eat junk food and carve the word 'FAT" into my massive stomach, but I'm trying not to do all three. Why is it that weighing myself makes me want to reach for the chocolate?!

Anyway I've stopped my anti-depressant today (my pdoc can get stuffed, I don't care how mad she is!), but I will give the anti-psychotic the benefit of the doubt for now as it is actually helping (unlike my anti-depressant!), and I'm going to re-read this thread to see what I'm going to do about shifting this weight.

Anyway just wanted to thank you costello and fishsandwich for all the info
