Why set goals for yourself? Goals provide motivation and promote a drive to succeed. I may be down about my weight gain but I have not given up hope. I WILL reach my goal of back down to 115; it just may take me a little while to get there. At least I recognize I have gained 7 pounds in a year and I'm not giving up. There's a problem and I will get to the root of it eventually. In the meantime I am experimenting with some different things. For example, while I was on the Depo Lupron shot to get rid of my endometriosis for nine months I was on Prozac. It was as if my body believed I was in menopause. I was having huge mood swings, hot flashes, and frequent headaches. Even though I got off the shot in August it can take 6-9 months for it to completely leave my body. In the meantime, my doctor and I decided it would be best to continue the Prozac in case there are still side effects. Well, it does seem coincidental that last fall I was 114 and then last December (when I started taking the meds) I began a slow and steady weight gain for the past year. For some reason I didn't realize that the Prozac may also cause weight gain on some people. Just in case, I've called my doctor and asked her to switch me to a med that doesn't have any chance of weight gain. Who knows - maybe this will help get me back to where I was!
