[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746179, member: 1550"] I understand the size difference/body shape. I have no boobs. In high school I wore no bra. Nobody noticed. I am very small on top but when I gain weight my butt and thighs get bigger....ugh. And the women in my family have kankels. Nothing like having kankels no matter how much you exercise or how little you weigh. I never gained weight at all until I was put on Paroxatine for severe suicidal depressuon. The depression disappeared like magic. Lol but I did not disappear!i was starved. I went all the way up to 180 once and, remember, I am 5'0,a tad taller at the time maybe. I had never been more than about 105 before. I felt like Jabba the Hutt. My amazing husband never said a word but I really cared. I was afraid of my depressuon. And starving on my antidepressant. I read and read about losing weight on Paxil and everything I read said you cant. And wont. Not one shred of encouragement. Just that people gained weight from being so hungry. I was afraid I would get even bigger. Huge. I was already getting there. But I have a couple strong traits that have always saved me. One is that I never ever give up on myself. EVER. No matter how bad things get I believe in me. Another trait is I am so stubborn that once I make up my mind to do something, even if I am told i cant, I will do it. And this was a time. I looked up diets and liked Atkuns at the time. I flew into it full force, never cheated (and I mean never) and even on.Paxil this diet killed my appetite Yay! I was in my early 40s and kicked up my exercise too. No Paxil would stop me. I went to tje gym. I ran. I walkef when I should have sat. I worked out six days a week. Every week. I do not remember how low my weight got, but I lost well over 50 lbs and it took about six months because I started in the spring and was still exercising outside when I was relatively thin again. And I only exercise indoors once it gets cold. I never again cared to or tried to get to 105 but I have gotten thin enough for people to call me "small." This is partly because I have a small frame and look thinner than some my weight. Prednosone did not affect my weight but Paxil did. Yet I would not give up a medication that wiped severe depression from my life. I still take it. I have never again had chronic depleting intractible depression. That is no life at all. So thats my story, woth about .02 :) [/QUOTE]
