Any Luck

[Guest guest]

Anyone have any luck loosing weight? I have gained 40 pounds since

my diagnoses in 2002. Some of that wieght gain is from my very short

pregnancies. Some just because I get depressed and some because I

LOVE CHOCOLATE!! I try to be smart about food but I crave the wrong

stuff all the time.. I was also trying to follow a diet I read about

in 2002 cutting starches way down..no red meat...no acidic foods...and

no dairy. It did help with my flare ups but now I am back to doing

the bad things.

I imposed my diet too much on friends and family..they had to cook

special food for me...I felt guilty..so I stopped and started eating

like I used to. I hope you all can help me and tell me what's worked

for you..exercise and/or choice of foods for weight loss.

Thanks Cara

I soooo know what you mean about the chocolates! I was staying with my son

and his wife last winter, had a fight with him, and ate a whole box of Dove

chocolates in one sitting! That used to be pretty typical behavior for me.

Although I've gone through a weight loss class, learned to manage my diet,

etc., I really think the thing that has help me the most with the " chocolate

binges " is antidepressants. Since my rheumy upped my Celexa, I have been

able to deal with stress a lot better, and have been able to limit myself to

one or two chocolates pretty easily, even though the situatation with my son

has gotten much worse. I've also found that after a while, my appetite has

diminished, and I don't want the large portions I used to eat.
