Sometimes I'm amazingly dedicated and motivated about dieting. Other times I really struggle. I've lost 35 and 40 lbs in periods of six months a couple times in the past. Other times I make it to 10 or 25 and then fall off the diet wagon. Sometimes I get excited about dieting again and it lasts no longer than 12 hours to a couple weeks. There are many times when I say "The heck with it".
I will say that certain medications or certain doses affect my ability to stick to a diet plan. Sometimes it's just my mood. I lost 10 lbs on Seroquel XR this past spring, but have since regained 7 of the pounds. My current dose of 600 mg gives me a major challenge. At 450 mg and below I think it's usually weight neutral. I regard my other current medications as weight neutral.
If you could pick two things that you currently have trouble doing that you could more easily do, what would they be?
