I've felt powerless over weight gain on Seroquel, Lithium, etc. I also have the worst diet in the world and it's been like that forever.
I haven't been going to fast food joints and just this week thought, maybe I should read labels closer and see the max of sodium I should have a day. 1500mg for my age. One level teaspoon of salt has 2300mg of sodium. Is it mg?
I live, up till now, on frozen dinners. Packed with sodium and sugar. I haven't weighed myself but already I'm not bloated, I feel like I've lost ten pounds and I look like I have.
At my age, any age, this stuff is my enemy and I can't afford high blood pressue from sodium or all of the nasty side effects of sugar, type 2, etc.
One thing I do right is eat a lot of oatmeal, I love cinnamon so that's all I put on it.
If I drink soda it's coke zero, very low in sodium.
This is a big wake up call for me and frankly I'm proud of myself. I'm trying and that's all that counts. When I drop a few pounds I know that exercise will begin. Right now that's hard for me.
It's never too late, babblers. It's never too late.
