For those of you that did gain weight...how have you managed to lose it? I am comfort eating and can't seem to gain the willpower to eat better
Also I feel with little money to spend on food, it's cheaper to buy junk!
I eat porridge for breakfast or brunch and healthish meal for tea. However I "graze" on biscuits crisps and chocolate. I do exercise as I have 17 horses to care for ...but I take gabapentin and lamotrgine and although already large from having been on contraceptive pill⦠read more
Hi just to let you know you are not alone regarding weight gain. Like you I was always a size 14 then slowly 16 18 now 20. I dont over eat as such but eating at the wrong times, i never have breakfast or lunch but have my evening meal at 7pm then I start snacking at 9 ish. This has always been my regime even before fibro anc Gabapentin Tramadol Amitriptyline Diazapam etc, when I was diagnosed with fibro the weight has gradually increased and I just cannot loose any weight which in itself is depressing, don't punish yourself as think we have a lot to deal with everyday.
Take good care of yourself xxxx

HI. I gained 4.5 stone over a year ago due to being out on steroids. I Co e off them last ju e and Ave managed to lose 2.5 St. But am now stuck on 15 St. I'm on loads of different medication a.lot of cocooning which gives me the nibbles. Most days I do t have anything to eat until teat time after that I can't stop grazing on crisps and chocolate. I too am normally very active as my daughter has 7 horses and 2 donkey's. Due to my pain being really bad atm the last time we ride was good friday. As a rule I go to horses everyday with her to help feed, do fencing etc. But over last week have only been over a couple if times. She is on holiday this coming week so I have to do them for 5 days on my own. The do give me the incentive to leave the house every day and whilst with them is virtually the only time I am pain free. We are cutting back our numbers by 2 in the next few weeks with possibly one more going as I'm fine ding it harder to do. I would love to get back to the 3 we ride and the donkeys. I think horses are very therapeutic and give so much towards our well being. I'm hoping once the weather improves we can ride most days which will help my mobility and lose some weight xx
Stop taking gaba
Have you tried slimming world?
I put on over a stone and can't shift it no matter what I try. I eat a very healthy diet and walk when I can and swim once a week. I've given up now and I am trying to tone what I have. One day I might loose it but the way I look at it is that we have far worse things in a day to day basis to worry about. If you find a magic formula please shareπxxx
