Thankfully, I've never had the food problem. Then again, I've never had a large appetite. My body is healthy and my metabolism is naturally high and I am naturally not a big person.
Two years before I had to be put on medication for epilepsy, I had grown out of my baby fat, and was the average size for a girl my age and height. Little did I know that those two years would be the best years of my life, as pertaining to weight. Most people don't believe me when I talk about my issues with my medicine. (with the exception of my mother and my doctor), but honestly. I have been taken off my meds twice in my life. The first time, I lost 35 pounds in a month, and the second time, I lost 50 pounds in 3 months. My eating habits didn't change either time. The second time I was working in a factory where we walked an average of 8 miles a day, so I'll contribute some of the weight loss to that. Everyone tells me that I should want to be overweight and seizure-free instead of normal weight and having seizures, but in my mind they are equally as bad. With all the seizure medications out there today, I can't imagine there isn't a single one that can keep my weight down and keep me seizure-free. |

UGH i hate it when people are looking at your food choices.... ARG i was in the grocery store one time, and this lady literally looked down IN my cart as she was walking by, and than eyeballed me with a nasty look... i was about really to kick her in her face. i have to buy for a family of 5 and im the only one dieting.. freaking people.. part of the reason i hate leaving my house. makes me feel like a freak.
anyways.. back to the funny! |

Coleman chairs: YUP got those too; and we often take them to places even if there are enough chairs, we have our own fat butt chairs
Bedroom: non-existant almost, and that is not acceptable! He did attempt this last weekend and that was the first time in SIX months----holy crappage! His weight effects his hip and knees and apparently he is just too much pain to do anything.......he has taken off 20 pounds in the time I took off 10, and it is starting to help. But he has just avoided the issue the last few months. No pun intended but it is like the big elephant in the room |

There's a drug called Topimax out there, but I don't know if its used for epilepsy. Its supposed to be used as an appetite suppressant. Google it and ask your doctor maybe? |
kiki100- I totally get you on being a little jealous! When I started a challenge with my brother back in December, he weighed less that me and I was so mad. I know good for him but I just felt bad about it. He's like 6'2" and he's a big guy and I thought I weighted less because I don't think I looked as big but I was about 9lbs bigger than him. I think I'm about the same has him right now because he put his weight back on, so I'm working on it everyday. It doesn't even bother me that my hubby weighs way less than me but my brother bothers me. Weird huh?

I have problems with numbing. My hands started going numb not too long before I reached my highest weight and now it's still here. I can't wait til it goes away it really bothers me. Oh and the numbe feet when break in shoes just seems worse. I worked out last night in some new shoes and after I took them off I had pins and needles for at least 10 minutes! I can't wait to get the weight down!
