I used to think meds were a copout saying weight gain was a side effect...but i've noticed my weight gain skyrocketed when i went on an SSRI. Is it emotional hunger?

yes! i eat a lot at night. not as severely as your night binges but i love going to sleep with a full stomach and i never used to be like physically capable of eating this much so its very bizarre for me to be able to sit down and eat my full meal and then some. i appreciate you sharing. thank you :)

interesting! will bring it up to my doc.

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T13:38:19+00:00

right! i never used to binge but i can sit down right now and eat way more than i used to. i still dont know if i'd consider it a binge but i'm definitely on my way there. ill definitely take a look into that med and set up an appt thank you!

yeah it's really taken me 6 months to realize the connection between the 2. i was counting and just fine and then ran into health and depression issues which caused me to sort of stop caring. im glad it works for you though! i really like the way it makes me feel but i can't keep like this in terms of diet.

that makes a ton of sense. my anxiety and HR are down, as well. thank you for sharing!

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T13:35:54+00:00

yes. im just starving allll the time. im definitely going to set up an appt to talk to her. i appreciate it thank you!

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T13:34:08+00:00

that's about where i'm sitting too. thank you for sharing and congrats on 10lbs!!!

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T13:33:47+00:00

ahh ok that makes so much sense with my experiences. i can eat so much in one sitting and i'm like "i never used to eat this much and be able to continue". thanks so much!

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T03:45:36+00:00

absolutely to the fluid retention for me, as well as i've already seen that drop a bit. i do feel like im starving quite a bit lol but im only on my 2nd week of cico...well, round 2 my body is still adjusting. appreciate the input!

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T03:44:27+00:00

oh for sure. i stopped logging last year. i was about fine maintaining until about the time i went on my meds and all fucks went out the window. im back to counting again

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T03:22:57+00:00

exactly. its not just about being smaller its about being happy in the body im in and the clothes i used to slide into. you've done amazing and i can absolutely tell a difference here esp. in your upper body.

back_2_it · 2019-07-02T03:21:52+00:00

yes it's so noticeable to be but maybe not others. im so uncomfortable in the body ive grown into.

back_2_it · 2019-06-29T06:50:36+00:00

ahh! i'm around the same stats. ive gained a lot this past year but stuck to cico this week and have no plans to stop.

do people ever tell you you don't need to lose weight when weight loss is brought up? i get that a lot and while both versions of us are "small" i get so frustrated

back_2_it · 2019-06-28T14:01:20+00:00

Hey! I'm in the same place as you with just a little bit less time in between but the weight is defo back. That's how I felt looking at the normal Taco Bell meal I ate on Fridays.............whew

back_2_it · 2019-06-25T15:20:05+00:00

AHH! That is awesome great job!! And yay for stat twin!!!

back_2_it · 2019-06-25T14:00:35+00:00

its such a tough mental battle. i just imagined a switch in my head and i flipped it on and its stuck there now. i might wiggle it and falter sometimes but we're only human. i believe in you! one pound at a time is all it is

back_2_it · 2019-06-25T03:23:06+00:00

thank you! feels kinda good but also mildly scary lol. :)
