birth control
"This pill started out as the greatest thing ever, no side effects! I was in good shape and weighed around 140lbs. I don't like periods so I always skipped it which my doctor said was completely okay. But after 6 months of taking it, it just went completely downhill. I gained about 25 pounds in the last 8 months of taking it! I didn't realize how much weight I had gained until I realized my shorts and jeans from the summer before didn't fit me anymore! I was completely disgusted after a picture I saw of myself and decide to get on a scale and I weighed 165! That was ridiculous for me! And I never thought how when I was on this birth control I was hungry.. ALL THE TIME! I recently got off it and lost 5 pounds in the 1st week!"
