"ive been on the shot for about a year now and i absolutely hate it!!!! ive gained so much weight and were talking like 40 lbs. its like i cant stop eating. my cravings are absolutely horrible. im always hungry. i work out here and there but i cant seem to lose the weight. im 17 years old. this birth control method is not something i would suggest to anyone except for the fact that it is very effective against pregnancy"
