My weight gain wasn't gradual at all. It started when I was about 21
and happened so quickly that I thought that I had to be pregnant with
triplets or something. I gained almost 60 pounds in 3 months! I wasn't
over eating at all, in fact I was eating less. I think what triggered
the gain for me was being off bc pills for about 6 months and eating too
many carbs and very little protein. I have gained another 20 over the
last several years, but I seem to have stabilized at about 80 pounds
over my "normal" weight.
