Weight gain
I'm a 40 year old disabled female. Never really weighed more than about 145lbs. In 3 months this year I gained 16.2 lbs. My diet and activity level did not change. I'm sure this is not normal. Any ideas what would cause this?
Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled to see my dr in January. I eat the same basic things b/c I'm allergic to beef, fish, chicken, pretty much anything but pork. My meds haven't changed much. My dr is working on taking me off my anxiety/depression medication slowly.
I have tried the logic of 6 small meals instead of only 1 large meal a day. I stopped that when the weight gain started. I think I'm gonna start a food journal cause as you said, watch the little things.
If your able to think of anything else, I'm willing to listen.
Thank you again

A good check up seems to be in order. Diet and/or activity has changed . Sometimes we don't realize we're doing something different. Depression or anxiety can affect your weight a little at a time. An extra pat of butter every day can make us feel better short term. In my case it's sugar :) take notice of the little things and feelings to root out the cause. Good luck.
