Help!
Ever since I've started on all my IC meds and made an effort to stick to the diet (well, not strictly - I can't live without certain things...my husband calls me a hummingbird because I love tropical fruit so much
) I've gained about 10 pounds. I was already 15 pounds overweight and I can't handle how depressed it's making me. I eat pretty well, considering the fact that the diet restricts a lot of foods I would otherwise be eating, and I exercise almost everyday. Not a ton, but at around a half hour, maybe more 5 days a week. And I'm *gaining* weight.
It just doesn't make any sense. I go on my eliptical machine for about 20/25 minutes, then do pilates ball stuff for my abs for at least 15 more.
Have any of you gained weight from the meds and been able to lose it? I'm kinda short and stocky anyway, but there *must* be some way for me to drop even 10 pounds. I feel like I'm gaining muscle (which is bad because I have calves like a guy anyway!), but that I never lose any fat!
Sorry, I don't know if this was the right place to post this, but you know..it's for depression and all. Blah, I'm all complainy, sorry!
