not feeling good

Hello @BlueBay, need to tell your doctor about the meds , it might need to be adjusted

My hubby`s meds has put weight on him too , trying to cut down on carbs , eating more fruit and veges to help me xx

@BlueBay was that supposed to read 'a big cat person' (or something else?) - cos there is nothing wrong with being a big cat person lol

Excess weight is just more to love - I have already told you this little flower!!!

Are you stopping eating - I wish I could sabotage my weight gain that way too lol

I am in a very cheeky mood tonight BB - sorry if it is not at all useful

Hi @BlueBay,

Changes to appetite could also be a symptom of depression. Have you experienced this before? It might help to chat to your doctor about this.

There's a lot going on for you right now - sometimes food can be used as a distraction as well. Is this something that might be happening?

Hi @BlueBay

Perhaps watch what you eat and I know its easier said then done. But try to space your meals out. Have your three meals and two or three snacks per day. If you are hungry in between meals or snack - drink water or herbal tea but make sure you are having enough fluids too. Some other fluids to limit calorie intake is diet rite cordial.

If the urge is strong to eat go for a walk to try and to distract yourself. I've had to go back to this too because I want to get healthier and fitter.Some extra walks and adding ten mins to your walk mite help kick start things again. Hope this helps....

I really did like big cat better @BlueBay

Emotional eating can get 'out of control' just like so many of our 'coping mechanisms' BB - try to substitute it with something a little more physical or will be a distraction - a walk, knitting etc.

Hi @BlueBay

Maybe you should check with your doctor, maybe its not the meds - how is your vit D levels?

I found the last 2 months I was the same, couldnt stop eating especially sweets - it was like I was PMSing constantly and just couldnt help myself but it turned out to be the VIT D. Within a week of taking them my food cravings stopped. Even now not having such a good week and I'm not eating like I was for the past 2 months.
