I initially gained weight due to medication (Zyprexa & Risperdal, when I was first in the initial stages of diagnosis). I never managed to lose it again, and also a change in diet didn't help either (I went from strict vegan to eating a lot more dairy and butter fat, etc.). Now, I'm trying to find the discipline to go back to my once healthier lifestyle. |
