I cant stop thinking about the amount of weight I have gained in these few months. My bf calls me beautiful everyday but I know he sees it....I told myself I will walk a mile a day and eat less than 1600 calories per d. We'll how that goes...

I've gained a lot myself too. This is because I'm almost bedridden and my medications are all carrying weight gain as a side effect. I'm frustrated but all I can do is keep trying. I've got a wheelchair but I've been forcing myself to use the walker instead.

I'm cutting down on meals and have an elliptical with a seat I'm going to try using.

Good luck to both of us!

My weight goes up & down. When I stop junk food like potato chips & dark chocolate candy, I loose back to my lower healthy weight. But because I'm so active, I have to eat healthy when I do eat.

I don't take meds other than the pain med to keep my chronic migraine under control. I have other horrible side effects worse than weight gain so meds aren't an option. Changed the situation I was living in & it made all the difference in my depression. When I feel anxiety there is a REAL reason for it so I deal with the cause. The PTSD has improved after moving 2100 miles away & with time the nightmares have gone away & so has the depersonalization. Living alone & being responsible for my animals & my farm keeps me focused on healthy.

If I had stayed living in my bad marriage I left 9 years ago, I have no idea where I would be today..but I'm not so where I am is my focus.

I do understand the problem though Prozac & Wellbutrin triggered serious weight loss for me.

I really relate to this! Don't be too hard on yourself, you need to give yourself time to make changes stick. Personally I would focus more on adding good habits like exercise and eating vegetables for instance before restricting calories so much, especially if you are young, you might need more food than that. If you feel like really cutting back, I think it's good to do that a day or two a week, that will still help.

I've gained a lot over the years. I used to be petite. I am short and don't need all this weight on my bones. My knees hurt a lot. I need to have patience with myself. I am so hard on myself and disgusted with myself often. Have to try and love myself however you do that.
