Exercise

I gained almost 20kgs in three years, while taking antipsychotics. I gained even more weight than when I was pregnant with my child. Does this story sound a little familiar? My sudden weight gain was very concerning to me, all my regular clothes stopped fitting me and I felt like a baby elephant. On the internet I found medical articles that confirmed that the antipsychotic, Zyprexa, that I was taking was notorious for weight gain. I also found that there was a newer breed that was better. I pleaded with my psychiatrist to switch my medication. He did the switch, but he also made the point that I needed to exercise more, I gulped.
