Monday 22nd Aug weigh in.

Thank you, Jacey. I saw my GP this afternoon and he has given me a script for a different AD - but he said " are you sure you aren't over-eating - the only way to gain weight is to eat too much" -a bit mean of him I thought, under the circumstances. Yes, feeling sad does make me yearn for foods less good for me, but I am reasonably strong-willed and do eat sensibly and have certainly not been eating in a way that I should have put on any weight - let alone 9lbs

Even a few ounces is impressive golden. So is keeping going!

I'm just the same dolphin and eat when I'm upset or annoyed. It's so silly I know and I always feel cross with myself afterwards. Strong willpower is what is needed - and the support of all you GNetters

dolphin don't be too hard on yourself, it might well be the tablets. As I've said elsewhere I'm on thyroid tablets and it's taken well over 6 months to start going on the downward path again having gained a lot of weight because of my condition - and there are some weeks when I don't lose anything at all which is galling. Don't despair. I think your GP sounds horribly mean especially as you are on ADs. The GNs on this thread are incredibly supportive so do persevere.

dolphin we are all behind you, just take things at your own pace, even if you are not loosing its not a problem, we will give you any support you need.

golden every little bit helps
