I do to varying degrees at various times. I am overweight, though fully clothed (not in a bathing suit) many people think my weight is just fine. Actually, I feel relatively OK about how I look. Yeh, I'm not perfect in a bathing suit, but am lucky that I wear my weight well. I do like to eat and either eat too much or the wrong stuff too often, but I only really go overboard occasionally. Sometimes my Seroquel XR seems to be partially responsible, but more often it is my mood's fault. I can be on a high dose and lose weight, or even on a medium dose and gain. I've been really trim on and off bipolar meds and overweight on and off. Many people in my family are overweight, including those not on bipolar meds. I'm actually trimmer than many in my family. Part of it is my knowledge of good nutrition and portion sizes, but having the knowledge doesn't always equal compliance.

Have you ever gone on a serious diet? If so, how much did you lose on it? How did you lose the weight?
