I lost 100 pounds while taking tamoxifen, partially because it made me nauseous in the beginning. I also had high BP, depression, anxiety, and was a pre-diabetic, so I HAD to make changes to my lifestyle and diet to be able to eat and feel better. I began to walk and do yoga. IMHO, some of us tend to overeat because of the anxiety and depression cancer leaves behind (and is also a side effect of tamoxifen). I tend to stop eating when I get depressed and anxious, so for me eating enough has been a struggle. Everyone is different. You need to do what is necessary for your health overall, including mental. The cancer is gone, hopefully forever, and we all need to live as if our life is a gift. Treasure your gift. It may not be exactly the gift you had planned, but it is a gift none the less.

I am on Femara & have bone pain which makes it hard to exercise. I would love to have a group of MFP friends with BC diagnosis. I am 60 and use that as an excuse as well. Need to get healthier.
