In my experience, the choice is fat and unhappy or skinny and unhappy. Meds have never worked for me, but different ones have made me both fat and skinny. In the last 7 years my weight has fluctuated from -1 stone to +2½ stones on my baseline, which I had maintained for years without effort. I was very upset about the weight gain at +2½ stone because I was officially overweight and I felt out of control and worried about my health e.g. diabetes. I've lost 1stone from stopping meds, but now I'm not considered overweight it doesn't bother me as much.

In an ideal world I'd like to lose another stone, maybe the other half stone as well, but not enough to actually diet properly and exercise more. Dieting is hard and I have yet to find an easy/accessible form of exercise I like, and I struggle with motivation. Maybe I'm not so bothered about the weight because of my apathy, idk?? If I could wave a magic wand and be happy but have to stay at this weight, or go back to my base weight but have to stay feeling this way, then I would choose happiness, but maybe not if I had to go back up to my fattest...IDK?!
