Hi everyone
I'm new, and I thought I'd try this forum even though I dont technically have an eating disorder-- what I have is terrible body image, I think I am a cow, I live in LA and work in the fashion industry where girls my height(5'10") weigh 30 lbs less than I do, and to top it off, have been on Paxil cr for anxiety since Oct and in Dec suddenly gained about 15 lbs in a month--UGH UGH UGH.
I think the only reason I dont starve myself is I dont do drugs, I dont drink, I LOVE to eat, I love food, so that is my so-called vice. In normal society would not be fat, but in my mirror( and head) I am revolting. I wonder how much of this is influence of media images? Out here at my gym, size 0-2 is the norm. I am huge at a size 10.
Anyone else hate their bodies, and what to do about it, also, any advice about the Paxil-- does it cause weight gain? Is it because it makes you crave sugary foods? or does it actually impact your metabolism?
Sigh....
