Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Well, I did it... I hit 170

Hey guys,

So as most of the "regulars" on this board know, I have come on here many a times in the last 2 years saying I am getting serious about losing weight. Each time, though, I've fallen off the wagon.
More recently, my eating habbits went really out of control.. I am embarassed to even say how bad, a few days I ate 3 chocolate bars!

I don't know what's wrong with me.
It's especially bad timing because my doc put me back on amitryptiline and she told me it can cause weight gain and we think it may have contributed to my weight gain that started 2 years ago and just kept going. She told me to be more careful about what I eat, and to make sure to exercise more to counter balance the effects of the pill... and I have done the exact opposite.
Tonight I went out for dinner and ate enough that I am actually in really bad pain just from eating too much. I feel gross.
So I weighed myself tonight and it said 170.5 lbs... and I was at 165 in August when I was so unhappy with my weight.
Oy. I want to get back into better shape, but I am so not motivated. When I saw the scale, I thought, "This has to stop.." and then started coming up with excuses for why I can't go to the gym (the membership of which is automatically debited from my account every month, even though I have not been going.. at least for the last 2 months). Yikes.
I really want to say I am going to start and get better, but I just feel so "blah" about it that I don't think I will...
I don't know how to pull myself out of this one, oy...

Steph
