Gained 40 lbs from medication I was prescribed and am sad about it as I’ve always never been concerned about my weight and now can’t stop thinking about it. Loosing it seems impossible

Weight gain from medication is a tough one. Try to eat healthy, exercise and watch the portion sizes. It can be a slow go, but with good eating habits we will get there. One day at a time.

I totally know how it feels! I had my weight off for almost 3 years! And then medication helped put it right back on with more. It’s been a year of maintenance, until a month ago I decided enough is enough. And now I’ve lost 15lbs. I think you just need to stop and tell yourself it wasn’t your fault, it happened, and that you’re strong enough to overcome it!
Remember to love your body as you begin your journey, because even with 40 extra lbs you’re still the same great person! Try cutting out bad carbs(bread, pasta, sugar) and get your carbs from vegetables, oats, or brown rice. Eat healthy fats, and more protein.
