Do you think you use the meds as an excuse for eating too much?
I think I do.
I know the meds (neuroleptics)does stimulate the apetite for food, but I don't think that's the main reason I am so overweight. Respiridone is definitely one of the less bad meds for putting on weight.
To be honest I think the main reason I am overweight is I am a greedy glutton who lacks self control.
I also think if I learned to cook I would improve my ability to lose weight. Jackie is going to get me cooking lessons for my Birthday this year.
I know when I came back from being psychotic I thought eating nice food was one thing I could enjoy.....I had been detoxed from all the fun stuff.
I think it is real the appetite increase.....now that I am looking for a new man its amazing how my eating has changed....where once I couldn't go shopping without dim sims and spring rolls I now buy a bottle of water.
Not having to feed a family I can buy super foods and just stick to them....tonight I have my son here so we will have chicken and salad.
I think going through what we go through when unwell.....eating is a pleasure....and hell we deserve it....but the weight is no good for us.
Now you have a lovely bride to occupy you so you wont need to occupy yourself with food.
The chef the other day asked me to make scones....I stared at him blankly and he said what don't you know how to make scones....I said yes but if I make them I eat them....he just laughed....so I made scones for the kitchen workers for morning tea and had to have one...if they were sitting in my kitchen they would disappear....and turn up as fat..lol
