In order to be a healthier weight, I only have to lose about 20. When I go off the meds, I have really bad anxiety and don't eat. I usually lose about 30 pounds when I'm having a bad bout of anxiety. I joke that I should just go off my meds. Tibs doesn't think it's funny. Haha
It's not funny at all. I promised to be off, but I had to say this. Your mental health comes before how you look for sure, and I would suggest not eating to little either, because your brain needs carbs.
One of the reasons I tricked myself I didn't need medications for a long time, it's just because I knew they cause wait gain. But you can fight off whatever challenges the medications give you with good mental health and get the body you want, but you cant' fight off the opposite of that with good looks or the body you want.
Don't even reduce the amount for the sake of wait loss. I once got super fat, and you guys encouragement helped me get back to shape.
I am on the maximum dosage of my anti-psychotics, and I know if I reduce it, it would be so easy to get those abs showing the way I want. But it's way too risky and for petty reasons if I let go of the trust of reason and health, then becoming sick is my fault, and I would have no one but myself to blame.
Oh, and as update I'm 7 pounds heavier, with reduced fat down to 11.5%.
Got to go.... Take care of yourself.
