do you ever think that? i eat 3 times a day with maybe one snack and i put on weight it seems, its not a ton of calories, but im not going back to one meal a day just to lose weight. im gonna eat normal, it’s just so easy for me to put on weight, so why fight it? im just gonna eat, i don’t care what i weigh.

I eat what I want, when I want, I stay the same fat ass I’ve been for awhile. I just need to start exercising.

I’ve kind of given up on dieting for now.
I mean it’s almost impossible to lose weight as long as I’m taking Depakote.
I have been consuming sugary foods lately and I’m supposedly diabetic.
But I checked my blood sugar today and it was 91, that’s a normal level even for a non diabetic person.
I’m pleased about the results.

Be careful, I ate like a cow when I was on Olanzapine, I was always hungry. At my heaviest I was 240lbs.
As a result I became so fat my doctor warned me my gut was hard on my heart and that I was at risk of a heart attack. I developed diabetes. I had really high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and liver enzymes. I was in bad shape. All that scared the hell out of me. Plus my self esteem took a hit being so fat.

My appetite went up a bit on clozapine. Just had some pasta and peas. Hope the weight gain stops. It’s a little fun to be hungry again my appetite was very low on risperidone and latuda. Off medication I can eat lots and not gain any weight.

Are the three meals healthy? I got diabetes from eating too much junk food, and mostly from being too sedentary (my meds make me so tired, I just want to sit around too much). Now, I’m on two meds for diabetes, and one of them has to be injected into the stomach fat (Ozempic). The diabetic diet is hell—I have a lot of trouble eating like an angel—and I wish I had eaten more healthy foods, so I could still have a few treats now. I’ve cut out chocolate completely, because it’s highly addictive to me. I hate veggies though. Yuck!

Go for it as long as they make clothes that fit. No bad idea. At least try to limit the sweets.
