I think I need a t appointment stat.

Hello,
I used to be fat too from my meds and overeating. I took it upon myself to lose weight and walked about 3-5 miles daily and changed my diet from fast food to salads. I lost about 50 pounds in about 6 months. I also take only one med now- Abilify. I think that taking many meds can wreak havoc on one's weight and health. Please talk to your Pdoc about whether or not you can tweak your meds and/or talk to a dietician about going on a diet. My weight fluctuates still but I am no longer obese- over 200 pounds before. So, please be proactive about your health. Also, if I were you, I would not compare yourself to others. You are unique and special to your family and friends. This matters more than comparing yourself to others who have no interest in your well-being. Please take care!
