> I am still doing great on the Lexapro - I have been taken it for 7 weeks now, this is the only medication I have ever taken for my anxiety/panic disorder besides xanax. I only had to take 4 xanax while on the lexapro and that is great considering I had to take one everyday.
Wow! So glad to hear you have seen such great results with Lexapro! =)
> I am trying to face the facts that I will never have a decent swimsuit body again, but all these TV shows don't help.
You have to remember that the people you see on TV and in magazines are the most beautiful of the beautiful, and the thinnest of the thin. And most of them STILL have work done. And then they STILL have wardrobers and makeup artists and airbrushing to hide their flaws. So what you are seeing is not reality. Hollywood has done a LOT of damage to women in our society by making them think that this unobtainable ideal is the "norm" and so they can never measure up. Turn the TV off and just put on a swimsuit and go to the beach. I guarantee you will see reality there, and after you look around for a while, you won't feel so bad about yourself. And have fun there - build a sandcastle, go swimming, soak up the sun... Life is too short, and you don't get a second chance at it. So enjoy it now, with or without the extra 15 lbs.
God bless.
