Never heard of Vyvanse before.
I swear I wonder how they come up with names for new medicines. Do they just throw a bunch of Scrabble tiles in the air and pick which ones land the closest?
I would give you my condolences but for all I know you could happy with how you look. If you’re overweight and comfortable, then all power to you. I am happy for those people. I don’t hate overweight people or think they’re all ugly. I just hate overweight me and think that I’m ugly overweight.
But if you aren’t comfortable then I’m very sorry.
Actually, the designated certain letters as male and others as female. they put together a meaningless word to appeal to the targeted demographic. I can’t remember all of them but Z is male and Y is female. used to work for Pfizer
I apologize if this is a ridiculous question but are you overweight or do you just FEEL that way?
The reason I ask is because I’ve been in the same position of feeling overweight without actually being overweight.
While I understand weight loss is hard (I have many family members struggling) it’s not impossible. It may also help take your mind of off some things if you set a goal (just don’t take it too far.)
I can understand using medication to lose weight though. I still do it from time to time. I somehow convinced my doctor to give me another prescription of a medication that suppresses my appetite. Not very proud of this but I get more depressed when I binge and I binge because I’m depressed. T___T
That’s another one of my problems I think I’m fat and I hate my self for binge eating when I’m feeling depressed trying to fill that void inside but it’s all mental I no but can’t stop my self from feeling this way
It isn’t a ridiculous question. I do know that I’m not as horrifically lard-y as I believe myself to be. I know that when I look into the mirror, I see myself as fatter than I am. I know that I feel more fat than I actually am (I believe that’s called “body dysmorphia”? I don’t know). But I don’t care whether or not my perception has any basis in reality.
I am not comfortable in MY body. Even if everyone else sees me as being normal in weight, I do not. And ultimately, that’s all that matters, because I’m the one who has to live in this meat suit. And if I’m absolutely mortified every second that I’m in here, then it needs to change, no matter if I’m 500 Ibs or 50 pounds.
I know I’m using the logic of an anorexic, but I don’t care right now.
If you want cold hard numbers, I’m about sixty pounds overweight.
And you’re right, it isn’t impossible to lose weight, but like you said, it’s hard. And I have way too many “hard” things on my plate right now for me to add another one.
That last sentence: I feel ya, man. Describes me to a T.
Thanks for all of your advice/input, hiohneh. Take care. 🙂
Funnily enough, a heart attack is one of the ways I’d least want to die.
That’s right: I literally have no problem with gutting myself or getting mauled by a pack of wolves, but the mere idea of my heart just rage-quitting on me is enough to make me piss myself. I’m a strange person.
Maybe you could ask your doctor about Bupropion (excuse me for sounding like a commercial). I’ve been on it since the beginning of January and have lost over 20 pounds. I also improved my diet and started exercising, so that has also contributed, but the Bupropion has helped give me the energy to do that. Plus my weight loss has been more rapid than diet and exercise alone could explain.
There is also a weight loss pill called Contrave that contains Buproprion, but in a lower dose than is used for depression. I’ve never tried it.
Whiskered-Fish, I heard about a weight loss program a few weeks ago on the radio. You pay $50 a month for a year. During that year if you lose the wagered weight, you get $1500…
Win-win, your broke and wanna lose weight. Not sure where you live, so this may not apply. But here, you can trade soda cans for money. About 20 a day would cover your $50 monthly payment. So walk around, is exercise, lose weight, boom $1500, send my 20% idea thinker upper fee
Processing your request, Please wait....

I think I’ve got the same costume myself.

Soon we’ll have names like Wyrfritriptonix.
Unless, of course, we already do.
Very sexy avatar Cordless, 😎
It’s fun being sideways and blue.
🙂
this cracked me the fuck up this morning. Which I sorely needed.

And thanks for the laugh! 🙂
*could BE happy

That’s actually really messed up.
I’m glad to see that you’re still with us, AO.

Drowning, I’m so sorry, it’s a very hard thing to deal with. My heart goes out to you and I want you to know you’re not alone.
I wish I could find a way to get this under control. 🙁
Thanks hio it’s a nightmare

Just ask the doctor for two months supply, and tell him it for weight loss
They don’t prescribe it to people for weight loss, I don’t think.
If they did, fat people would most assuredly be a rare breed, because let me tell you, that stuff burns through fat like a Hummer burns through gas.
You dont say? Im fat and probably at least mildly adhd and it may give you a (hopefully) heart condition? Are there any negative side effects?
Haha, well, it could be fatal I suppose but for the most part it was just really painful.
And it worsened my psychotic symptoms considerably. So there’s that.

I dont need to be anymore psychotic than i am. Id do anything to die though.
I’m very sorry.
At this moment in time, I have no real desire to die, but I do want to be somebody else. I’m just really tired of being me.
(Hopefully fatal)*
Hey Deadmanliving. Your having a challenging day.

Holy crap. Did I just recommend a med? Oh well.
apparently, you did.
LOL
Wait, so this pill is used for depression?
Whiskered-Fish, I heard about a weight loss program a few weeks ago on the radio. You pay $50 a month for a year. During that year if you lose the wagered weight, you get $1500…
That sounds awesome. I am broke though.
Btw, your new icon is awesome. 🙂
