Well, that damn plan didn't work. I can eat good, and still put on weight. The scale went the exact opposite way I thought it would. I would say it borders on depressing, but it doesn't does border, it's full-on depressing. All the stupid medicine from my car accident almost 8 months ago, and all the mental side effects from the severe concussion, severe Whiplash, shoulder problems, hip problems is taking its toll on me

If possible it's always best to get off the meds as soon as you safely can. Have you seen a physical therapist or chiropractor? They may be able to help you reach your goal.
In the meantime, hang in there.

I was in physical therapy for 5 months. I was treated like a stroke victim for the first month or so. I still have major issues that continue to linger. One of my meds is to help reduce the pain receptors in my brain from being on prescription pain meds for 7 months. I have PTSD, balance problems, when I get tired in the evening, I have a hard time talking, I keep loosing my words I want to say. My right eye is unable to be fixed. It will just go off to the right when it wants to, if I look at small print or small pics, because of my right eye, it will shake, making it impossible to read. All from a my car accident 7.5 months ago. I used to be able to hold a 40 pund bag of dog food on my shoulder and another in my arms. Now, I can't pick 1 36 pound bag off the shelf and put it in my cart. Life is very rough right now.
I'm trying to be patient, but it's getting harder and harder.

I understand. Accident prone as I am, it was not much a bother in my 20s and 30s but as time marches on, you will FIND IT JUST TAKES LONGER FOR THE HEALING PROCESS.
I have learned to be more patient and kind to myself and help the healing process the best I can.
I also know from experience that many of the pain meds will knock your metabolism right into the ground. Extremely difficult to be on any dieting program. What I could do, was to work on my eating habits and foods sot that when I was off meds and could get my metabolism kick-started again, I was going to hit the ground running.
