Ok, so I suffer from really severe depression and was put on anti-depressants about six months ago. One of the side effects is weight gain. I used to be a size 8 but now I am a 12-14. I am really conscious about my weight and its really getting me down. Can I have honest opinions? I think if I hear from others how bad I look then I will be more motivated to lose the weight. All of my friends tell me that I look great but I know that they are lying because they are worried about how I will react. I just need honest opinions please? No stupid answers !
Hey.. I know how you feel, because I've always had issues with the way I look too. It doesn't matter what others think, or say, because nothing will change your own perspective of yourself and its the worst feeling right?! You honestly look fine though! You have curves in all the right places, and everything is in proportion. It must be hard knowing that your not as slim as you may have been, but understand that your body will change, so just learn to love what you have. If you need to talk then just email me!
But if it's really getting you down there is absolutely no harm in loosing weight, so long as it is for YOU (e.g. not because of nasty comments from your peers, pressure from your significant other etc)

You look great to me, very attractive even. I don't know about health though, so you'll have to talk to your doctor about that. You're certainly not fat or unattractive anyway.

You certainly look within the healthy weight range to me. But you know you could just work out your BMI and know for sure. You have a nice figure too
You're not overweight. I went on your photobucket account () and maybe it would help if you stopped labelling all your images as "chubby me". A little self confidence helps.
I know how you feel though, I went from 6/8 to 10/12 because of medication (not anti-depressants though). It makes you feel terrible, but tbh no one else sees the same as you see.
Your body looks quite similar to mine actually. So this thread is making me feel a lot better too. I personally am trying to lose some weight, not a lot, just a little, because according to the BMI I am verging overweight.
But now looking at you, I think you look great, I really do! Maybe I'll start believing people when they say that to me too Thanks for the confindence boost!
I definitely think it's best to stay healthy, so it might be an idea to work out your BMI and aim for a good average, but seriously you look nice
