Birth Control
I'm going to go on birth control. I haven't had my period for a few months due to losing a lot of weight & being a bit underweight. I heard you gain weight from the pill. Why is this & what kind of weight do you actually gain?? Is it more stored fat or water retention or what?? I really am afraid of this because I think its so artificial. I rather just eat more food rather than gain weight from a pill. It really scares me. Can anyone give their own advice/opinion on this situation or personal experiences?? Thanks!!

Well it really depends on how your body reacts to it. You may lose some weight or either gain it. After a few weeks from I've heard, you may lose that gained weight. You just have to experience it.
I gained some weight.. towards my boobs from what I've noticed. So it's all good haha! B cup to almost a D cup. I've also moved from a size 1 to a 2. But I think weight gain is based on your appetie change. Some women get some food cravings while on the pill. You may not. I think it's stored fat. But half of the doctors say it's a "myth".
Eating food may not help you if you have a high metabolism. The pill will make you gain about 5 pounds. Well my doctor said that. I guess you'll have to talk to yours. They all have different opinions.
I mean if you don't like your gained weight, just get off the pill.

Metabolism, weight gain, wheight loss, dieting, trying to get more energy, trying to get better curves etc... The funny thing is most people say DIETS! You're eating the wrong kind of food! Diet pill! Blah blah blah. Three meals a day, 5 food groups. That's all you need to know.
The secret is this: Exercise. WHAT!?!?!?!?! Shea. Go figure. Never hungry? Exercise: It will make you hungrier. Want to gain weight? Eating too much will make you fat, and you will somehow be lacking the stamina to get through the day despite the extra calories. If you're worried about being too skinny; build muscle. Muscle wieghs a heck of a lot more than fat does; that's why many smokin hot babes think they are fat, that they think they "weigh too much".
Don't start poppin' pills unless your doctor recommends it. Not only is it a cheap cop-out answer, but it could be dangerous if you don't know how or why to do it.
Good luck, hope all goes well.
