You guys don't know me (well ..... hello Genevieve) but I would like to introduce myself and I would also like to make use of the very reason we have these boards. I need to whine and moan and feel sorry for myself. I don't mind if no one cares to listen.

I am overweight due to anti depressants. Up to now, I have been eating a well balanced, very low fat diet and have been excersising. My weight has continued to go up and up. Over the last two weeks I have become so frustrated with the continued weight gain that I have rebelled and I have started eating everything I can get my hands on. Night time is particularly painful for me. I cook a healthy supper, have a small helping, wait for husband to go to bed and promptly plough into bread, cheese and lately, sweets. All this on top of my nightly gallon of wine.

I am binging out of control and constantly crave salty junk food. I continue to eat when I am not even hungry. I have even tried drinking litres of water when I am hungry but my stomach continues to growl.

I know I am to blame for the last bit of weight gain. I know I am to blame!! It just really sucks to be me right now and to feel my stomach, not even wobbly any more, just so distended that I look about 7 months pregnant.

I am at my wits end. I eat well, I gain weight. I binge, of course I gain weight. I go off the meds, I will die.

Thanks for letting me get this out.
