Some people weigh weekly others like me daily. I weigh right after I wake up and pee.

I agree it's not fair how easy it is to gain weight. I too will be weighing and logging for the rest of my life

My highest non pregnancy weight was 235. CW 165

I was in 2nd grade. My mom put me on a diet. Looking at pictures I wasn't fat. She was obsessed with losing weight so she transferred her obsession to me.

Logging keeps me honest and aware, combined with daily weigh-ins

You need to talk to a counselor and maybe consider medication for depression.

I thought ads weren't allowed

There are no bad foods. It's all about calories in versus calories out

Certain psych meds help with weight loss and some cause weight gain. Do your homework

Maybe you have an invisible tail

Me too

Fiber one bran cereal with whole milk. Keeps me full longer

My problem is in the morning when I get up I can hardly walk. I've been told a knee replacement is in my future. But my weight loss has helped.

The worst was the lnasty tasting liquid fast diet in the mid 1970's. Nothing but nasty liquid protein 3 times a day. No chewing, no food at all. Lost 15 lb in 2 weeks. That plus more came roaring back immediately. Horrible

My psychiatrist put me on Wellbutrin to counteract the weight gain of some of my other meds. It keeps me from binges and I'm not as hungry so it works for me.

There is no starvation mode causing weight gain thing. It's all about eating fewer calories than you burn.

Bread and rice and pasta leave me hungry either right away or within an hour of eating them so I avoid them

Not in syria

What amazes me is this. I've lost 60 lb in 5 years. I walked around with that 60 lbs for years. Yet I can't even lift 60 lb. how did I live like that?

That first drug autocorrected from Risperdol

I'm on Geodon and Wellbutrin. Geodon is supposed to be weight neutral and a side effect is appetite suppression.

Exercising for extra calories is the only way I can keep it up long term.

I don't know about the new birth control pills but the old ones caused weight gain

My downfall is chocolate chips. I bought some Lindor chocolate balls individually wrapped at 77 calories each but unfortunately I still prefer chocolate chips.

I'm on welbutrin to help with this problem. So far so good

Get a new doctor and a nutritionist

Melatonin and Benadryl might help. Sleep deprivation makes me hungry

I start my day with a 77 calorie Linder dark chocolate truffle sometimes. Totally worth 20 minutes of walking.

I did Nutrisystem after my son was born. Boring food, expensive, and I didn't learn how to keep it off. Gained it all back plus more.

It sounds like something happened when you visited your family. A counselor might be in order to explore it.
