Today is the first day of my new birth control. I quit the depo and changed to the pill. Again one of the side effects is weight gain, but I'm not gonna let that get the best of me. I've changed my eating habits, so now I know what to do.
And that puts you in control of the food, not vice versa. This way if your weight does go up you'll know it's from the pill, and not your eating habits. (Small comfort I know, but it's something).
