I went to 160 pounds in a couple months. So I went from 104 pounds to 160 in about 10 months. I remember basically instantly going from a size 0 in pants to a size 8. By 2015 I was 236 pounds and a size 22. all because of meds.

I am really sensitive to the weight gain side effect and I think my situation is kind of unusual.

Now that I’m off all those I am super obsessed with my weight. As a result of all that weight gain as a teenager and dysphoria.
Yikes that sounds intense. I can see that being pretty upsetting to go through that in such a short period of time. I hope you can get to a good place with your body and food in the future. Not quite the same but after having anorexia I really messed up my metabolism and gained a lot of weight quickly until I was overweight and I feel like it took me awhile to sort of trust my body again and be comfortable with it and eating normally.
