Too far to go out in public?

Question

I am just posting hoping to hear from someone with similar issues.  I have gained about 50lbs in the last 1.5 years since starting a medication.  No matter what I do I can't drop an ounce.  I have eaten as little as 1100 calories a day, weighedmy food, exercised 1he a day.  I have lost an ounce in months.  Only gained weight.  I hate myself now and I refuse to be seen in public.  I embarrassed that I am now larger than my fiance.  I refuse to leave the house except to go to the gym.  I am hoping soon the weight will start to drop but I look horrible.  I have never been so fat in my life.  I am so disgusted with myself.  Anyone else feeling like me?  I even hate taking showers and having to feel my blubber.

Answer

A few years back I gained a lot of weight too , 50 lbs like and I'm a short girl ! 
The worst thing you can do is stay in the house. I'm telling you this because that's what I did and I got myself so depressed. I know that loosing weight is different for because of the medication.
I've had tried every diet possible and nothing worked until I was strong enough and finally loved myself. 
I used to hate everything about me. 
When it changed and finally started taking care of myself more that's when i actually started to lose weight. And it doesn't take much I love myself form the first pound I dropped because it was a big accomplished after so many years of depression. I didn't have a boyfriend or friends. You have a fiancé that can support and until figure out a way to lose the weight you wish please love yourself. Take care of yourself.

Answer

I am in the same boat.  I fractured my back almost two years ago and had to step down from the job I loved as a massage therapist.  I stepped into a job as a receptionist/Customer Service Manager for the same massage clinic.  To add to that, I lost my mom about a year and a half ago.  I went into a tailspin, quit my job, and ended up severely depressed and on Zoloft. Between suddenly being mostly sedentary and the meds for my back and depression, I have gained probably 50 to 75 lbs.  I am bigger than I have ever been and I hate it so much.  I hate looking in mirrors and having pics taken.  I didn't want to leave the house for a long while.  When I finally got cleared for light exercise, I started going to the gym with a friend...we went for 6 months...but I never saw any results.  I got so much more frustrated I became rather reclusive.  I have in the last month or so started to shake it off and get back out into the world, but that doesn't immediately fix my self-esteem issues or my hatred of this new body.
