It started last February, I was taking a lot of medicines every single day and started to gain weight. Before that I was so happy and confident about myself not minding of what will other people say about me then I gain a lot of weight. My family started to tell me that I'm so big, that I was so ugly to look at. I lost all of my confidence and started to lost my appetite. My pants can't fit me anymore even my shirts and needed to buy new ones that could fit my body. I just want to bring back the happiness in me, the confidence I have each time I'm going outside. I'm losing myself. I want to help my self but I can't. I feel unmotivated.

Eat proper healthy food only three times a day and no soft drinks, and join a gym.
ReplyThat might not be very helpful someone who is taking medication that causes weight gain as a side-effect. Everyone's body responds differently to diet and exercise, hence why certain meds can mess around with someone's metabolism to the extent that they gain weight.

ReplyI am so sorry that your family made those comments about your weight. They were cruel, unhelpful and unnecessary. You can tell them not to comment on your appearance in future. You get to set rules about how you wish to be treated.
The body changes caused by your medication might take some getting used to (a price you have to pay for your health, I suppose?), and your body shape may change again once you've finished treatment - who knows? You could ask your doctor about the side-effects, but I think it could also be good for you to learn to feel good about yourself at any size.
There is a lot of body-positivity stuff out there, which you might find uplifting. It might act as a counter to the negative things that your family said to you. Being heavier (or big, or fat - however you choose to see yourself) is not a bad thing to be. Your worth is not in your body, its shape, size, or weight.
