Stuck between a rock and a hard place!!!

Well it has been a horrible end to 2011 for my weight loss journey.  I have not loss but 1 pound in 2 months.  This has been killing me.  I have been craving food like crazy and my body just doesn't feel like working out.  I have slacked on my eating and slacked on going to the gym.  It has not helped that we had 2 of the biggest holidays within the past 2 months.  The biggest culprit has been my Bipolar meds.  I started taking them again back in November and since then I have been beating myself up about hitting a plateau.  Which really did discourage me and i fell off the damn wagon.  I don't like this feeling.  I love that I was losing 7-10 lbs a month and I loved the way that I was feeling going to the gym working out and my clothes that I have not worn in years were finally starting to fit again and I didn't have to stretch out my damn shirts just to get them over my big ole belly and but.   But with out my meds I had become a horrible monster that y'all just don't know about.  It was ruining my life and had hurt many people in it, including my kids.  So I made the adult decision to go back on them and I love how it makes me feel.  I am able to deal with more of feelings and not just suppress them. SO right now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.  But I am going to go see the dr on Jan 3, and talk to him about getting on a different meds and possibly getting a Nutritionist so that I can continue my journey to "loving myself" weight wise.
