"i have gained about 6 or 7 pounds (i.e. half a stone or 3 kilos) in total. my reflection in the mirror is fine but my clothes have become too tight, i feel very uncomfortable in them and in fact, i feel uncomfortable in my own skin. somehow, i just feel inflated. the weight gain is really around the waist, the bottom and the thighs (and the bust, the one area i am not complaining about). i did a quick search on the internet and quick enough i found a number of forums discussing weight gain with spiro (in the exact same areas). weight is a sensitive issue for me because i did struggle a bit with it in my teens/early twenties."
