Like, really
While I was on diets I was thin.
Now I am slightly overweight, according to BMI,
but I am confused whether I am slightly overweight because of my parents (because both of them are a bit overweight), or AP’s or because maybe I eat too much.
I believe I am not overeating, but I still carry too much weight on my body.
What could be the reason and what shall I do ?
Are you male or female?
BMI is an outdated way to measure weight as it doesn’t measure muscle mass.
What was your weight before starting taking meds?
What kind of a diet do you have? What were you blood levels last time you were tested? Do you exercise?
These are all indicators of what type of weight you have.

Female.
Before starting meds it was 56 kg (but I was aaalways on diets while I was so thin)
My height is 169 cm.
I was literally eating as possibly little as I could. Now I am 74kg, but I eat more, but not overeating.
There were times when I excersised, there were times when I didn’t. Never was a real “sporty” person.
When I started meds I gained a lot weight, then I lost it, then i started Setraline and I gained again. Now whatever I do, I cannot lose weight.
I have 3 kilos too much on my body

I believe my “natural weight” is between 117 and 120 lbs. I look best when my weight is around that range. I have weighed less, as low as 107, which is definitely too low. Makes me look like a skeleton.
I gained weight from my AP’s, up to 135. I’ve been trying to lose the weight but it’s tough, especially because the weight was caused by my meds. But I’m still trying.
So, since the time you’ve been a full grown adult, what was the lowest you’ve weighed? Did you feel too skinny or did you feel healthy? If you felt and looked healthy, that might be your “natural weight”. Maybe. Could you see your primary doctor and figure out what your healthiest weight would likely be?
