Medication Induced Obesity!
Any takers out there?
Hi i am 60 yrs old bipolar and morbidly obese due to meds they gave me 20 years ago that caused overeating addiction! My efforts to lose weight are complicated by my B/P condition and the meds needed for them, but it is managable if I can lose initial weight and get relief from the overeating itself which will give me a window of opportunity to reverse the food addiction. Addictions can be reversed. They can be stopped. But you have to block the use of the addicting substance itself and in the case of food it is OVEREATING. Eating is not a disease but overeating actually causes chemical changes in the body that are addiction, a chemical addiction to excessive amount of food and tupes of foods that produce mood changes and chemical dependency. I am betting there are lots of us in this category. Care to join me in the conversation ? Please post a message if this is your story or a similar one! Sarah Welcome to this group!
