[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gained 40 pounds through menopause and really need to lose it.

One of the things holding me back from taking the meds, is I really (really) don’t like attention that comes from appearance change. For example, when I get a new haircut and people notice and say something, I get very uncomfortable.

If I lose weight quickly and people say something innocuous like “you look great” or less innocuous like “you look great, how’d you do it?” I am dreading it and don’t know what to say.

Fwiw, I’m an executive at a company so have lots of visibility so I envision this being a constant.

If you are/were in a similar position, with the same disposition, what did you do to cope? Thanks!

First of all, it's not that quick.  One of my friends had the same thing happen (although I think the amount gained was higher) and she's been taking them for a year now.  She's lost weight but slow and steady in a way that is really not that noticeable--same way it went up.  Slow and steady.

I'm an exec, and most people (except maybe other execs) do not ever comment on my appearance--they're more deferential than that.  Maybe it's my company culture, or I just look like an ice queen.   :lol: [/quote]
