Depression Equals Weight Gain
I've gained 20 lbs since September. I attribute it to my antidepressant and being depressed. What's one to do? Stay thin and become insane or get fat and be sane?
My weight gain is really bothering me. I was already overweight, but now I'm obese. And I had worked so hard to lose weight over this past year. It makes me want to cry. Why do have to choose between sanity and fitness?
I'm waiting for the day when these Bipolar medications don't have such awful side effects. When will that be? Do researchers even care that these medications are supposed to make us happy, but they make us unhappy at the same time?
I got my thyroid under control. Now I'm going to start walking again and I'm eliminating carbs out of my diet. Christmas will be hell. My mother-in-law makes these peanut butter balls that are phenomenal. I guess I'll have to suffer. I have to get this weight off as soon as possible!
