30lbs lost :)

so all my life I had been naturally petite and slim, could eat whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted, without gaining a pound if I tried. however, after being put on an atypical antipsychotic, which cause something called metabolic syndrome which results in weight gain, especially around the waist, among other things, I put on 30lbs in a very short time. on my 5'3 frame, those pounds made a huge difference and I was miserable in my skin. I hated the way my body looked in a way I never knew was possible. I was never very confident, but I'd never been THAT miserable about the way my body looked. so I joined a gym and started doing some classes, and in mid January I also started using this site to log my food and exercise. in those 5 months, by eating at a deficit while also tapering down my Seroquel dose, I managed to lose those 30 pounds. here's my before and after pic! left is me at 140lbs in January, right is me today at 110
