Hi everyone
Over the last couple of years I have gained around 30 kilos due to psychiatric medications. I have to take the meds so now I am stuck with this massive gain and unless I do something about it now I am going to end up huge. Thanks to the help of my doctor at the metabolic clinic I have managed to lose 16 kilos but thanks to a recent med change I have started gaining again.
I saw my GP this morning and she prescribed Metformin. I have done some research and know it's not a diet pill or a quick fix but I am desperately hoping that it will stop the weight gain and make it easier for me to lose. At the moment despite exercising and eating properly I am not losing weight.
I am determined to give this a good go and work even harder to get this weight off. I feel unattractive and fat and I hate that I have to shop in the plus size section. One of the side effects of one of my meds is increased appetite so I never feel full, so Christmas coming up is scaring me a little as I can eat a massive amount of food and over indulge.
So I guess writing this down I am acknowledging that I have a problem and I need help.
Thanks for listening!
