Hello everyone. I'm new here. I joined a long time ago, but didn't really post. I'm on a lot of psych meds (Effexor, Risperdal, Vallergan, Imovane) and also diabetic. The meds have slowed my metabolism down to the speed of continental drift.

I have anxiety/depression and PTSD
My whole life, I have been a bit pudgy but never overweight until I started these meds. I can't go off the meds, but I have an appointment with my psychiatrist coming up and I'm going to ask him if he can switch them or something. Anything to get some of this weight off! I had lost about 23 lbs, but I've gained most of it back now after losing my motivation to eat well. Although, I have overeaten at times, that isn't my biggest problem. I am LAZY about food. I don't like cooking and tend to eat quick fixes...a handful of nuts, PB&J, cereal, etc. BAD BAD BAD. I really don't like fruit and I am not too crazy about veggies. I know that I have to turn all this around if I'm going to be successful. It's just soooooooooo hard!
Looking forward to knowing you all better....
