What the heck? Why am I gaining all this weight?

It might be because of stress

It also might be water weight, most people don't know it but that is the number one thing that could be causing you to put on weight

Try to cut back on food that has salt in it, salt is a number one food that retains water.

Drink about 4 glasses of water to start out, then slowly work it up to 8, it really does work! A little hint though is that you WILL have to pee A LOT, but that's a good thing, that's all the water and toxins coming out of you that is weighing you down.

Try eating lots of fruit, like watermelon, and melons that have a high content of water already in them, I'm sure you'll feel more healthier in a few days, but by the end of the week you'll notice a difference.

Also go to Specialk.com

and try their diet plan, I lost about 3 pounds and 2 inches off my waist in the 2 week diet, and they have so much great snacks and cereal

You basically eat it for breakfast, have either a special k snack bar or some fruit for a snack in between both breakfast//lunch & lunch//dinner

then for lunch you have the cereal. Then for dinner you have a light meal of whatever you want

They suggest you not eating a desert, but that's not that hard to take! especially when they have a 'chocolaty delight' cereal, that is pretty big sized chocolate chunks inside, and with cold milk, it just tastes so good!

Good luck!!

Be patient w/ yourself - it does take time to lose weight - sometimes just as long as it took to put it on. I don't know how long ago you used to be 115 lbs - but as you get older you may find it harder and harder to lose extra pounds. It just might be your age, or the condition for which you take meds. Some medical conditions or illnesses cause the metabolism to slow down like hormonal issues, thyroid related stuff, diabetes, asthma and so on. There's not much you can do about that except to eat healthy and excercise - starve dieting could make your condition worse and send you to the hospital - which in turn would immobilize you and make you fatter.

Maybe see a doctor, Some people get too tall some don't get tall at all, I would say check with a doctor. Hope you get some good news.

i'm with you. same thing happened to me and i'm battling the same thing. it sucks being a girl. you could have a thyroid condition or something with your metabolism. you should go to a doctor.
