Hello folks,
I've been doing SW since mid-april, and have just gone over my 3 stone award.
I got put on some tablets about 2 weeks ago, called Mirtazipine. They're anti-depressants, but they seem to be making me so hungry all the time! I'm filling up on free foods - having a huge plate of pasta and mushrooms for lunch, eggs on toast for brekkie, big meal for dinner - usually free or a few syns for a sauce or something.
It's really disheartening though, that recently I've been just gaining weight. I gained half a pound last week, when I hadn't gone off-plan at all, and this week I'm on to gain another 2lbs! This is so irritating.
I've had a lot of problems with my despression recently, so these tablets aren't really something I want to give up on too soon. (I've already tried 3 other kinda of ADs, all with no effect.) On the other hand, I'm unemployed and to be gaining when I've done nothing wrong is very expensive! If you think about it, it's £5 down the drain for the initial gain, and then another £5 gone just to get back to where you were - even if you don't gain again next week.
I am just so stuck, because I don't know what to do.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do?
