I see that a lot of people here are on antidepressants. I am one of them and I'm afraid the one I'm on (wellbutrin) isn't working. I used to be on prozac for many years and stopped because it made me too remote. Would some of you share what worked for you? Weight gain side-effects wpuld be nice to know too.
No, I'm not depressed over my weight.

Yeah, I'm on an antidepressant that was supposed to be weight neutral but apparently not for me. My cravings have definitely shifted towards fast food way more often then they used to. I just get so freaking hungry now that I can't help but eat, but when I finally give in I often get lazy and order takeout.
The medicine is definitely working for depression (definitely needed this med for that because it was bad). I just wasn't expecting to gain so much so quick. It's very bizarre to be regularly eating amounts that would've made me feel sick/throw up beforehand. Plus watching my body completely change is kind of a mind ****.
I'm definitely at a point where I'd rather be fat and happy vs average and miserable, so I'll be continuing to take this med. Like I said, it's just a really bizarre feeling having this happen so quick. 10 pounds a month seems like a lot and I have no idea when my gain is going to slow down. But I feel good overall and getting fat doesn't seem to bother me so much anymore, it's just weird.
What med?

If you can do woodworking, there are some really strong bed frame designs that can be adapted to support a futon.

I'm hoping to get past 360 pounds and maintain a gain of 5 pounds a month.

Day 6: I've started adding smaller shakes WITH meals to see if that helps with getting hungry. Here is post lunch. I feel like a bloated hot mess 🎈🎈🎈

I remember when I got too fat to fit into the one-piece student desks at uni.

When I was a “normal” weight I’d still usually gain around 10lbs from Oct - Dec then lose it. But with my huge gain and how rapidly the pounds have been piling on I can’t even begin to imagine how much bigger I’ll get this holiday season!
Any guesses on how heavy you'll be by January?
