Im fat too...I hate it.
Im trying to work out but i have no motivation

Yes, I love my medications, especially Lithium, also!

OH god do i know how you feel!!! One car accident 2 yrs ago...& this freakin weather i can do without All of it!!!

I looked at your pictures and you're far from fat......maybe you have an eating disorder or something.....Try weighing 186 and be 5 ft 5....then you can think of calling yourself fat....

I got fat too from seroquel. I hate it. I'm having a lot of anxiety while driving and fear of going places alone so I haven't been to the gym in a while. I also hate driving on snowy roads and we have had tons of snow lately.

I am in the same boat, can't exercise due to health problems and have balooned up due to meds. I am trying to get it down, changed meds, watch what I eat, and try to do light, light exercise, even if it is just walking across the room. I do try to walk more on days when I am able.

You will not feel the real effects of the car accidents until the pain does not go away for years to come. Hopefully this won't be your case.

GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!!!!

Um ok?

UHM, Allie, I'm not trying to be nasty, but you post pictures of yourself looking like a total hottie, but then say you are a total fattie....

Ya lookin for attention here or something? Cuz you're not fat!

Not working out for a week isn't going to make you fat...

Something Beautiful......after I commented about the eating disorder I went back and looked.....she is dealing with anorexia which on her profile says it's in remission. I'm thinking it might have resurfaced and she should probably get help from a pdoc for that ASAP. I have more of a complaint about being fat though.....I weigh 186. I would DIE To look like her.....She should know that.

Allie, your eating disorder is talking sweetheart. Can you just hear that? I had an eating disorder when I was a teenager, lasting until early adulthood, and I totally understand that your head is probably saying that, but you need to listen to people around you.

Eating disorders hate it when they are not in control, and I completely get that not being able to exercise is hard for you. When it's your routine it sucks to have it interrupted. But PLEASE don't let it tip you off into a relapse, you've worked too hard. Get the help you need to deal with the pain, and soon you will be able to healthfully exercise again.

In the interim, please don't engage in such negative self-talk because it can harm you deeply. HEAR that you are a beautiful young woman who is reacting to a lot of stress right now. I know that winter is hard for you, and this winter has been no exception. Spring will be here soon, and you need to be healthy enough to enjoy it.

Hugs to you. Eating disorders are the pits.

Allie, I am sure you have worked hard to recognize whether you truly need to be concerned about your weight or your mind is in need of some control. With anorexia, even when well, we hold ideals about how we want to look. I know it is difficult to break from routine especially if you are working out regularly. However, one or two weeks missing exercise will not cause you to loose control of your weight.

I was anorexic in my teens and twenties so I know how you feel. I would urge you to be careful of your thought patterns right now especially with all that you have been through this winter. It is too easy to slip back into old routines of reaching for control in other unhealthy ways. Maybe a check in with your therapist or pdoc would help you stay on top of things.

There isnt anything wrong with setting a healthy weight base and staying there. It is one way to prevent your weight from getting out of control, but stay there in a healthy manner.

Sorry I didn't realize she had an issue with an eating disorder, my bad. Allie, you are a beautiful young woman! Please see yourself for who you are!

i put on weight cause of my bipolar meds... now i'm on lamictal which are supposed to be weight neutral.. on weight watchers diet, which i religiously stick to, and use my exercise bike and guess what.... nothing is shifting, i'm still fat and wobbly... don't know what else i can do... any suggestions???

I think it's pretty common for beepers to have extremely low self images.

But if you just do something to change it, you wont feel this way.. Try yoga.. With your car accidents, the stretching would probably help a lot.

I got into a car accident on thursday and by sunday could barely move my neck. Did some yoga and I felt a lot better. It's also great for core strength and muscle toning.

sitting and blogging about it doesnt do anything. try doing one thing every day to change it. (im not agreeing that you are fat btw.. im just saying, to change your self image)
