You need to find a different doctor.  How can a person put on 15 pounds a week?  That's very startling.

A good friend of mine had the same thing.  Tiny waist, a relatively bigger mid-section. \n\nBasically, you have burn more calories than you take in, increase your metabolism, and most importantly, set realistic goals.   Don't do any quick fix diets or diet pills -- They actually hurt your body more than help. \n\nShe did the "Body for Life" program for 4 months and lost 32 pounds and is back to her best days...  Read the book -- I think you should be able to get it at a local library or any bookstore.  It's by Bill Phillips.. \n\nIf you do end up doing it, do it with someone who lives with you or a close friend -- That keeps you motivated and in check -- and would make you feel guilty, if you slip up.  \n\nGood Luck!

You will lose the weight but it will only come off with decreasing your calorie intake and exercise. Keep in mind that lots of medications make you feel like you are hungry, but you really are not. Also, losing weight will help with your depression! Good Luck!

join a support group.  i am sure there are others with similar fears.  the most important thing you can do is love yourself regardless of your size and know that even if you cheat a little you are still a special person.  sounds like you are putting too much effort in to controlling your eating habits to prevent gaining weight but you are not nourishing your self worth.

Dear Darcee,\n\nYou are a very fat woman. You are also old. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are acting like a hypochondriac and need serious help. I hope you can get the help you need. Your mental illness is getting in the way of you having a productive life. Change yourself. Lose your big belly and the poor attitude.\n\nLove Me

All I can tell you is that once you notice a change, it is easier to keep going.  It feels good to look good.  \n\nWhat I did:  bought a new ipod and some cute workout clothes before I even started.  The thing is, you have to commit yourself for a month, because it might take a while to lose some inches.  Buy a new cookbook and try some new, healthy dishes.  It might make it more interesting for you.  Good luck!

Well, if you're not going to lose weight now... Try and find a jacket and a T-shirt made from a "lighter" facric. (I don't know which one, though, but I'm sure you can find something)

walking did wonders for me, a little at a time, than I kept increasing it every few weeks, lost over 35 pounds and my blood pressure went way down also my colestoral and trigricerides, plus the best thing, felt real good about myself, had to go buy a few sizes smaller in clothes.

I think you've stopped for  normally by 18 what you are is what you'll be. Go to a quality shoe store  and get advice what type shoe makes feet look smaller.

Talk to your doctor.  This is a good idea before starting any exercise program, but especially when you are on medication.

I dont know about the weaning off effects of antidepressants but you do need to do this gradually, not cold turkey, as you have experienced certain side effects.\n\nIt's much healthier to commit to a support group. I'm sure there are hotlines you can call for the nearest group that meets in your area.  Check those out.  \n\nYou may want to include some form of physical activity into your daily schedule, even if some days you will not carry them out.  Reward yourself when you do with something you like.\n\nThink of some of your positive qualities.  Write them down and stick them in places you can see to read back to yourself, then run them thruough your mind a few times a day, even if you dont feel like it.  You need reprogramming while depressing.\n\nBe selective about tv, stay away from news and others (eg, comedy sitcoms, talk shows, spy movies, ....), music, and be aware of other environmental noise elements so you can either avoid them or else minimise the effects.  Just as well, the Internet is not always so wholesome to be in (info overload).  Whatever it is, you need to examine your immediate environment and remove/minimise anything that bothers you a lot.  \n\nWhen you find yourself analysing stuff too much, find something else to do.  Change the way you walk home from work/school, take a dif route, even if it's longer.  You need to get out from the routine of doing things.  Modify your diet a little.  \n\nThese are just some ways you may reduce the effects of outward routine, so your mind may find dif channels to park in.  Nothing ever changes overnight.  Be patient with yourself and with others.  Laugh a little, cartoons are great for that.  \n\nBless you!   I wish you progress in bits and bites...(if you follow the plan, be sure you will fall right back to depress again, on some days, but, don't be too hard on yourself, get up again just as soon)
