I have gone on and off diets the past few years. I lose a few pounds, but it's generally never many (like I wish it was), and so I end up giving up. I know I must choose to stick to a healthier eating plan for life if I'm going to get off all the pounds I've gained while on psychotropic medications, but I seem to have trouble sticking to my plans.<BR/><BR/>Right now I feel quite disgusted with myself, in part because I recently looked at some old pictures of myself in my very skinny years, and I really, really regret letting my weight get so out of control as it has while I've been on antipsychotics the past three years. I also recently found a couple of high school friends, who, like me, had eating disorders in high school, and I found that they are both still thin as sticks, which makes me really embarrassed because I am beyond the point of people who knew me back then being able to recognize me now. I weight twice what I weighed in my anorexia years. Not that I would EVER want to go back to anorexia, because I wouldn't, but sometimes I really miss being so thin. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I could go on about this (weight has always been a big issue for me), but I don't want to bore you and write too much. I just wanted you to know you're not alone with this struggle and I think it is possible that you will be able to lose all the weight you want to lose since you sound very committed to your efforts. Good luck!<BR/>~JenFeminist Voice with Disabilitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971702402040080054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239140084937897595.post-26008457503862103292009-01-22T11:57:00.000-05:002009-01-22T11:57:00.000-05:00Kate I am proud of you for your choice to get heal...Kate I am proud of you for your choice to get healthy.

I am finding it hard and always thought I didn't eat that much but hey no that is not true. My portions have also been way too big.<BR/><BR/>J.PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239140084937897595.post-31014596711805141982009-01-19T23:37:00.000-05:002009-01-19T23:37:00.000-05:00There's no better time to start losing weight!
