[quote=hulkrogan;1413092]I don't feel bad at all for saying I'd never date a 300 pounder. Shallowness aside, that says a lot about someones lifestyle and the value they have for their own body/health. [quote]

Weight gain isn't just about lifestyle. Genetics and medications have a role in it too.

This may be hard to swallow, but a medication your doctor prescribed could be to blame. Certain prescription drugs used to treat mood disorders, seizures, migraines, diabetes, and even high blood pressure can cause weight gain - sometimes 10 pounds a month. Some steroids, hormone replacement therapy, and oral contraceptives can also cause unwanted pounds to creep up on you.
