I did.

Because of Madame T, I assume?

I started therapy and a month later started what would end up being the loss of over a quarter of my body weight in about seven months. But it wasn't because of therapy.

It does, however, mean that I have nowhere to go but up. So I probably will too.

I lost a little weight when I was seeing Mr T regularly. But it has gone up since then.

Therapy might be important for my weight maintenance. I was wondering if anyone else had reached this conclusion.

I gained weight when I *started* therapy.

Seriously, I had lost a ton of weight and was doing it in a really healthy way that felt good. I gained a little back just prior to therapy (stress dealing with some family stuff), but therapy... OMG... was nothing but unremitting stress for me. Cue the chocolate and ice cream.

Recently quit therapy... but still trying to get back to a healthy routine with food and exercise.

It's possible that when you lost the comfort of therapy, you turned to food for comfort.
I gained about 40lb since I started therapy, and that was comfort eating due to everything I was going through. I have lost 14lb in the last month, and I think it's because I am personally in a better place (still in therapy). If you (like me) have patterns of comfort eating, it can be changed with self-awareness and determination but it is hard work, so do be kind and patient with yourself.

I gained weight when I got really depressed. I didn't had therapy at the time. Last year I lost some weight, not yet enough. Meds might have helped a bit. They have suppressed my appetite a bit, but lately I'm craving more chocolate again.
I still want to lose some more weight, but I'm now at a point it's going really slow. I haven't weight less than my current weight since...I think my early teens? I was always a bit chubby.

First time in (group) therapy I actually lost weight in a very short time. Not in a very healthy way. I think the second time in group therapy (a year, sort of in-patient, 5 days a week) I gained a little bit of weight? I'm not sure. I was afraid to weight myself. But I didn't always ate healthy during my time there.

Possible trigger:

Eating very little calories or eating to mcuh sweet and throw it up.

I've just always been a emotional eater. When I feel sort of good about myself, I don't pay that much attention to what I eat. When I feel bad, I eat bad foods and I get mad at myself for it. Only when I feel a lot of anxiety I don't overeat.
Since last year I eat a little bit better, but it's still hard to not eat to much sweet.

I have gained weight - I think I will lose weight when the woman retires.

I started seeing T because of weight issues. Ha!

I have hit a weight loss plateau. I don't feel smaller. Blah!

Now it is evident T is losing weight. I asked her if she had a weight loss surgery like I did...she said, no.

Blah blah!

I am constantly losing and gaining weight. Doesn't seem related to therapy but rather eating/working out etc too much of the first and too little of the last lol
