I am looking for your opinions please.
I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and have taken medication for this for about 4 years. Not sure if all the meds work or not, cos over the years seem to be getting worse not better. Recently started counselling (have had 2 sessions, allowed 4 more) with CBT but have yet to see any difference yet, in fact all I have to show is a relaxation CD.
Anyhoo, I have been following SW since August 2011, and over 95% of the time I am 100% on track, only ever had an odd couple of weeks in that time where I have had a day or two off for a birthday or Xmas. I have only just lost 1.5 stone, and in fact last week after having an evening out with friends and a few drinks gained 3lb. I write everything down, have loads of superfree and speed foods, try to eat most red days, and never go over on my syns, but i still have not lost last weeks 3lb. In fact I am possibly looking at a STS or another small gain this week.
I am now the same weight as the beginning of december, a few small weight losses and then lots of weeks with small gains. I don't seem to be able to lose weight 2 weeks in a row. I go to the gym 3 times a week and use vibration plates.
I am always just so tired, exhausted and cold and my C keeps telling me to go to the doctors. Problem I have with this is everyime I do go to the DR's with any problem thy just tell me it is my anxiety, tell me to take my meds and push me out of the door. So I have not been to the Dr's in over a year, just get my meds on repeat prescription.
Sorry for the long post, but just wondered if you think it could be something medical with me for not losing weight or is it just likely to be my anxiety kicking in and making me feel this way.
Thanks for getting to the end, lol
