That can happen there are some med side effects that override everything.

I was at a very low weight when Dx'ed with anorexia.....time passed, meds changed & so did my ability to exercise because of serious med side effects & I gained too much weight.

Went through a trauma & it all came off again, not quite as low but still at a dangerous low place.....

The issue then.....really horrible wrinkly skin....made me look like a 90 year old face, arms......I am now just over my safe weight & the wrinkles are still there 7 years later.....I'm 61, so there are bound to be some just with age, but it just seems worse after the weight swing.....I like staying at my lower safe weight....feel better & function better.
