I've left Onederland...

Welp- I'm definitely about 200 lbs again....  10 lbs in 2 months... super.  Love me those antidepressants.

Happy Thursday!

Jen,  I keep getting told I need to "give" in order "get" the benefits of my antidepressants. I am not having weight gain, but some of the other side effects are really a pain. Hopefully the gain won't last and you will be back in onderland before long. 

Happy Thursday to you as well.

John

Thanks, John... I'll definitely be back soon... It was one of those last "I told ya so's" for me.  My body seriously rejects meds... therefore, so do I...  I have a choice, and I'm choosing to fight the depression again on my own- should it keep creeping back.   I have a wedding in 8 months... and I refuse to be 200lbs.  I was holding a steady low 180 for 2 years... I plan to get back there and hold it.

Thanks for the support!

Way to go Jen!
Love the new smiling avi.

...but on a posivtive note, I fit back into my old skin.. 

woo.  hoo.

Jen, this comment made me want to chuckle with you and smack you..............all at the same time!

While I totally appreciate the smart-assedness of this comment, I HIGHLY doubt the comment is anywhere true! Especially after seeing your before pic that Pammie posted!

Girl, come around more often. ***** complain, and vent! That's what we are all here for!

Hell, I live hundreds of miles from the majority of the board, and have never set foot into ONE support group.....EVER! But these boards keep me grounded. I am reminded of my rules, goals and mutual love from fellow WLS peeps!

 Great job Jen,

Keep up the good work!!

You can do it! I am on Zoloft and haven't had any weight gain. Have you tried a few different ones? Your tool is still there and you have the best motivation ever, a wedding!!!

Hey sweetie....

I've had some regain without antidepressents, and it sucks.  I'm hovering about 10-20 pounds over where I want to be and once was.  I"m busting ass in the gym and making I'd say 90-95% decent food choices.  No change.  But I'm still working on it.  And so will you

Oh - and fit into your old skin?  Back your running ass up there chic a dee.



Funny - doesn't look like your 200 pounds give or take would fill this old pic up. 

Regain sucks, depression sucks, mind games suck, body image distortion sucks.

Our tool, our friends, our support, our meetings, our out reach of support?  FREAKING ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

LMAO... love it!
