[quote=Anonymous] I think you should talk to your doctor about how to maintain a weight loss gained from a weight loss drug after stopping it. Because surely you are not meant to be on it for life. I would also encourage you to get very honest with yourself about what caused you to gain so much weight at college (it's normal to gain some, but then most people level out). Were you eating because you were lonely? Bored? Stopped being as active as you were prior to college? Figure out those things.

You say you'll be on your own next fall. Do you mean fully, financially? Like, your own cell phone bill, car, insurance, rent, etc.? If so, you have more power. Tell your parents (once you're on your own) that you must insist they stop talking about your body and your food intake, regardless of whether it's out of concern or vanity, and in the future, if they bring it up you will walk out. AND THEN DO THAT. You just stand up and say "I told you if you brought up my weight I would leave, so goodbye." And just walk out. Or hang up. You may need to do that a few times to train them not to talk about it.

But that's how to get them to stop.[/quote]
