Good for you for making a strong effort to lose the weight. Although
you took drugs to help, I am a strong believer that the drugs only
decrease your appetitie to help you stay in control. But the true
weight loss was thru your eating habits (or lack of eating in the case
of weight loss) and exercise.



To JAYJAY: I agree that the drugs are not the way to go. I'm 100% in
concordance. But the problem is how to change eating habits. In my
situation, it's a little bit different, because I don't live a 9-5
lifestyle, I live a 2-9 PM lifestyle, which leaves me at the gym around 11
PM at night. And that's where I think a lot of the problem is. It's hard to
adjust my eating habits accordingly, and I end up eating before bed, or,
waking up in the middle of the night, and eating carbs. I want to go to an
eating disorders group, but I'm not able to, because ... working 2-9 just
does not facilitate being able to go to group meetings and those sorts of
things.

I have no idea what I am going to do about going off Meridia, because I know
I will have to. I will go back on the Wellbutrin, which helps as well, but,
I don't know what to do in the future to keep in the 140s... (I'm trying to
get under 150, I'm 5'6, male, 25 yrs).
