Hope you’re all having an ok day.

I’m officially fat! My endocrinologist dictated a letter to my other doctors in my presence and said “Pookyl as you know, is currently carrying extra weight. She is carrying 52kgs (114.6lbs) of excess weight..”

It’s one thing to know you’re fat, it’s another to KNOW that you’re fat.

How the hell did I end up like this?? Rhetoric question. I know the answer - 5 yrs of psych meds has made me fat.
I’m going to talk to my pdoc about decreasing my Seroquel. She may not agree as I’ve tried a lower dose and become wobbly. I’ve been episode free for just over 4mths.
Is it worth messing around with a working med combo? Maybe this time I’ll tolerate a decrease? Maybe ask to go IP to ensure a med change goes smoothly?

Feel like screaming at the walls in frustration. I’m doing all the right things and the weight just keeps on creeping up. With what little I eat I should be as slender as.
