[QUOTE="totoro, post: 225290, member: 3155"] Oh the weight gain.:( We struggle with this. A lot of people call it the AP belly or Pooch... It goes straight to the tummy. K has a big tummy. It has gone right there, so when you weigh her and look at the numbers, she is not obese. She is on the 75th % but it all goes right to her tummy so her tummy is getting huge! So I keep asking, well this is not good right? But the numbers don't sound too bad, so a pediatrician will just look at the number and say, well it isn't extreme! Finally our psychiatrist is listening. SO this is why she is not kicking up the Seroquel to MS levels. Poor K is so active. She should be scrawny. It is such a give and take thing. We have had psychiatrist's who said, "Well is she stable though?" "Which is better? A bit of weight gain or instability?" I would say, "Neither!" Which ****** them off... LOL I would argue that the weight gain adds to depression and low self esteem, eating disorders etc. They say, "Well she is too young." Too young for what! This is when these things take hold of girls!!! I hate this merry go round... Such a hard thing to juggle. [/QUOTE]
