Wanting to lose weight

I'm on Celexa 20mg and Geodon 120mg to manage my bipolar illness.  However, my weight is 131 at 5'1" and I can't seem to shed off the pounds.  I exercise at least 5 times a week with a jog of 30-45 minutes.  I don't feel like I'm eating too much, but maybe I am.  My normal weight would be around 115.  How do I approach my doctor about my weight concerns when he's worked so hard to stabilize me of my bipolar illness?

Those medications usually stimulate weight gain by stimulating your appetite so you eat more.  You should look very closely at your intake of food.  Exercising is great, but the few hundred calories you consume each day of exercise can easily be offset by a careless cookie, or one second portion. the key to weight control in on the intake side because you can offset all your physical exercise so quickly and so easily. Also, because you are bipolar, you may be using food as an auxillary and supplementary medication to handle feelings you are not sure you can handle...Learn more about emotional eating....I would do all of that before asking your doctor for anything new.
