I'm going to be honest. Fat is disgusting. When I see a person 300lbs+ I am both very intrigued and revolted. It sucks that antidepressants cause people to gain weight. That is the worst side effect imaginable for a person who already feels depressed

Bless you, I am so happy for your family. It is hard work. You are doing wonderful.
