I'm new to the forum and am sick of being overweight! It's been a problem for all of my adult life and is just getting worse and worse. I had bulimia a few years ago so feel proud of myself that I've stopped it.
I feel so stupid as I am an intelligent person who know about nutrition etc but why can't I just deal with it?! I'm tired of seeing lovely clothes that I can't wear in my wardrobe, sick of dressing to hide my stomach and sick of people telling me I have a beautiful face (implying that my body isn't-they think it's a compliment but it's a real backhanded insult)!
I saw my doctor today and she put me on Orlistat. She weighed me but I told her not to tell me how much-I know that it would depress me.
So, I'm excited about starting this tomorrow but very scared about pooping myself everywhere. Sorry to be so graphic. If I keep to very low fat in food, I hope this doesn't happen. Anyway, hi to all of you, and please keep your fingers crossed for me that I will kick this problem for once and for all!
