Its most likely the meds that are doing this. My doc said I'd be lucky if I could keep the weight static, not to mention losing weight. And the fact that my immune system and metabolism is probably a bit wonky compared to everyone elses. I could make a ton of effort one week and put on weight, and make next to no effort and lose 4lbs. I don't think i've ever managed to maintain my weight from one week to the next. Could be difficult if I ever manage to get near a healthy weight.
Bah humbug.
And also, the last time I was dieting, I was also smoking. It's a whole lot easier dieting when you smoke, because your body tends to crave nicotine more than food. (in my experience)
And the whole eating out of boredom thing is somewhat eliminated, woulda had a cuppa and a fag at break rather than sitting and eating.
Saying that I'd never go back to the fags. Been off em since Jan 2008.
