Well... you are not fat in that pic, that's for sure. But I don't know what you look like now. So I can't say you are fat. I know I'm fat and it had nothing to do with meds.

But! my mother in law says first you are depressed, so they give you a pill that makes you fat, and then you are more depressed. So yeah, I get what you mean.

Over the recent weeks, I've realized the lithium is making me fat. It took about 8 months for me to notice. I've become more sedentary and unmotivated, but started the taebo workouts a few days ago, and raspberry ketone. We will see. I'm highly tempted to quit the lithium... I'd still have it on hand in case I get manic or suicidal...
Thanks for this!

...are you in the picture moosey?...I agree with dark. but I know we see ourselves different

...looks like you got karate pants on, are they karate pants?
we could nickname you "Moose Lee"

...I might be wrong but they look like karate pants I used to wear them too...once again I'm way off the topic!

yeah I have developed a real belly since the antipsychs and it doesn't matter how much exercise I do...my niece says I look pregnant. I tell her I am but to keep it a secret...(she looks confused cos I'm not a girl)...but she also knows I'm very silly!

(afterthought: hey I hope I wasn't insensitive here at all it's always a bit risky for a guy to reply something helpful with topics about females physical stuff...and yeah I agree with Christina below...you are a real pretty girl...but I wouldn't mess with you if they are karate pants ..and you look like you mean business!)

You are so pretty!!!!
Yeah the damn meds sure suck! I gained about 40 lbs from taking Seroquel . I have since lost it but it was very hard. My current Meds are weight neutral so far ( fingers crossed )
