How come everybody here seems to think the only reason you can be overweight is overeating? There can be other reasons too. I have been skinny and active all my life till i got a kidney disease not to long ago. that gave me fluid retentiton. an dthen i had to take a very high dose of prednisone for a two months. I'm still on it. I started gaining weight on it. and the last time I went to the doctor their height/weight chart said i was about 30 pounds overweight already in this short peroid of time. The doctor said my "moonface" will eventually slim down after i'm off the steroid. i know that fluid retention will go away easy but fat is harder to get rid of. and i have to admit prednisone makes me hungry all the time. and if i try to skip meals or snacks i get horrible cramps. my dovtor said that was normal for the dose i'm taking. is their anything i can do to prevent myself from overeating? so when i'm off this can go to my normal weight. I take dance lesons reguraly.
