This happened to me a few years ago - I gained a huge amount amount of weight due to medication. I hated myself.

I tried all the easy way's to lose the weight - dieting was strange to me as I've always been thin even eating whatever I wanted. They don't work - fad diets, the weight just returns once you start eating normally again.

In the end I had to come to the conclusion that there is no easy way to lose the weight. I set some short term goals....new dress once I lost x amount of weight in time for a special event and I worked towards those goals....the hard way, correct eating and excerise - the goals got bigger, but eventually I lost the weight and have managed to keep it off for the last two 1/2 years.
Its not easy but you can do it.

I have been there, it sux, I am sorry

Is there any hope is changing medications? I was on an antidepressant that made me gain weight and after several months of switching around, found one that curbs my appetite instead of making me eat all the time.
I do not know what kind of meds you are on, so I hope that does not sound insensitive, I realize that sometimes there are no other options...

I'd like to gain 10 lbs. Sometimes I laugh to myself that I can eat whatever and not gain weight, but really I'd like to be a little rounder and chubbier.

If the extra weight is not making you sluggish, I would enjoy and be happy. It's only 10 lbs after all...up or down it's not much difference.
