the exercise and eat better is good advice but NOT FOR MY SITUATION.

i was NOT starving myself. and this injection is not the answer for everything!!!
I've seen the pictures you've posted here and you don't look like someone who was starving yourself. Not at all....

And what a sexist comment that you only worry about your weight because you're a girl... because men don't care if they are fat? Really? men get low self-esteem and feel bad when they gain weight and feel unattractive too....

I mean, it's known that weight gain is often a side effect with meds.... My MIL always says "you tell the doctor you are depressed so they put you on a pill that makes you fat in an attempt to cure it."

I remember this doc telling you something stupid about food before, but I don't remember exactly what.

Eating better and exercise might help you feel better and I mean, it's good for everyone. Heck, I need to eat better and exercise more. But... geez... he could be more tactful...
