Ugh! A couple of the meds I have to take for my mental illness are really making it hard for me to lose weight. It’s piling back on, and I often feel hopeless about what to do. I’m not going to stop taking my medication because being fat is infinitely better than being crazy, but at the same time I am sure I don’t have to settle for being overweight. Sure, the meds increase my appetite, but I always have a choice. I do have power over what I put in my mouth. I’ve read that some medical professionals feel that these sort of meds actually slow down the metabolic rate…well if that is the case I can combat that by increasing my exercise. So! I have a plan of attack, just need to follow through.
