Always hungry no willpower
| Mon, 09-29-2008 - 8:38pm |
Let me start by saying I am 43 years old. I am very happily married, kids grown & gone. We own a beautiful home.
I have or beleive I have ADHD/ADD, I have seen so many Dr.'s & phychologists, they put me on different meds to help, but make me very cranky.
I have been put on celexa recently to help with crankys.
My biggest obstacle in life is the willpower, stregnth, & motivation. I am hungry all the time, it's like watching myself eat without even paying attention. I truly believe sometimes I don't even taste the food. Am I missing a key nutrient? I can't figure it out, I quit smoking cigs. If anyone out there has advice, I would welcome it.

Welcome to the board! First of all, congratulations on quitting smoking! If you can do that, you can surely master your cravings, etc. Did you begin wanting to eat all the time after going on Celexa or has this been an ongoing problem? Certain medications can cause you to want to eat all the time, which of course, will eventually put on weight. Do you have certain forms of exercise that you like best?
Look forward to you posting more and getting to know you better.
Hang in there!

Welcome to the board. So many factors come into place and sometimes it's just not thinking you don't have willpower.
Personally, I find I need to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks during the day to keep my blood sugar on an even keel. I try to eat foods that have protein that keep me sustained longer. Emotions play a huge factor in my feeling hungry as well. Tedious work days have me wanting to put whatever is in reach into my mouth as well as stressful situations. Your medications may be playing a role as well.
Hope you'll join in with us here!

Hello...nice to meet you! Welcome to the board! Sounds like you are experiencing what a lot of us are going through...finding it harder and harder to lose weight as we get older.
The ladies here have some great posts for you. I don't think I can add anything.
Hope you keep posting and maybe, just maybe, the board cheering you on and you being able to bounce off us will help you reach your fitness and health goals.
