I second what Tess was saying. Too much or too little weight is relative. I think that if you start to feel better, it will take care of itself. Even light exercise can help I find. Try a walk around the block once a day. It doesn't have to be complicated to work! How about gardening? Anything!
Another idea to toss around - Carbs always get blamed for weight gain. Sometimes, totally justified. Heather had mentioned some stuff on the other board (hit search) about losing weight. Soluble fiber supplements can decrease the amount of carbs you need to stay stable.
My point I was getting to is, try not to see carbs as the lone culprit. If I stick (pun not intended) to carbs and staying on the diet, I don't gain. It's when I start sneaking in no nos that are high in fat, etc. that I do. I'm not saying that you are, but it's just something to think about.
Sometimes, I think that carbs get too bad a rap. Not just for gaining weight, but as "BAD" foods and that we're supposed to only eat whole wheat. Facing the facts, we can't. But that's another story.
Hope my ramblings made sense. I know it's depressing to gain weight, but it's also very depressing feeling bad. Focus on feeling better and then worry about the weight. Worrying won't help you feel better, sweetie!
