In the last couple of years I've gained a lot of weight. Mostly due to medication. I am bipolar and I take lithium regurlarly. Right now I weigh 360 pounds and i have never been this big. I have really experienced how my friends and family are being condsending about me being so fat. They tell me that i have to lose weight. My best friend is pushing me to have gastric bypass surgery. She says she dosen't recognize me and dad is constantly nagging and he is asking me if I haved lost any weight every time i speak to him. At work there is this lady there who says she feels sorry for me cause I am obese. How do you cope with people telling you need to go on a diet? I try to lose weight but it is not easy. I am sure people who tells me I should lose weight doesn't want me to feel bad, but i can't help feeling akward everytime someone want's to talk about my weight problem. In defence i guess I hurry to mention that I am fat before anyone has to say it. And I tell them I am on a diet. Why is my problem so open for discussion. Is it because being fat is so obvious to those around you?
