I too was prescribed Duromine, 5 months after the birth of my DD-2010. I took the script, but never filled it.
Because of the changes that my body had undertaken during TTC, preg, birth and post-birth, I was diagnosed as 'obese' medically. I am 168cm tall, and was 78kg at the time, if anything I was unfit and 'untoned'. After that experience I dropped down to 60kg in 5 weeks, I really thought that others must've know that I was 'obese' too, and how could I live with that?! How disgusting was I?! The people around me worried, i'd become 'too' skinny.
Having the script handed to me brought back all my body issues that I *thought* I had conquered during late adolesence, but hadn't.

Today, after a second baby (DS-2011), I struggle more with my own identitiy and seld-appreciation more than I ever have.

If you need to lose weight, lose it on your own, for your own reasons.
