I'm overweight; the first time I've ever been in my whole life. I hate it but at least my partner supports me though he does keep saying, "I want my skinny bird back." mmmm, lol!

I have bipolar, too. I don't know if it was the birth control or the meds; risperdal. But it was decided that I go back on risperdal last year, before I even knew it could have been the cause in the first place. Now I learn that both of my meds cause weight gain. My advice to you is to diet/eat right and exercise every day and strength train exercise a few times a week. Sigh. I stress, START NOW.. this will be a tough battle. It's good that YOUR doctor cares that you gained weight. I remember right before this happened, I was being weighed every session to keep tabs in case I LOST weight. When I was depressed, I didn't eat much. I used to be very skinny, too. I did gain boobs, but they're not big enough to hide the stomach! I have a freak body that nice clothes won't fit. It's so upsetting. I'm right there with ya, and I'm glad I found your blog. I'll be visiting again. I have another blog in addition to the one in my link (that one's weight loss), http://findingrainbows.colour-dreams.net. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Women die. Why can't you have a cheat day? I was going to post something else in the comments earlier, but my Internet, or this server, was having problems. I guess I'll be back when I remember what I was going to say! I wouldn’t take birth control, they’ve discovered they can cause blood clots. Women die. Why can’t you have a cheat day?
