Medication causing weight gain

[Kayla McCanny]

I'm on a lot of meds and each one side effects is weight gain. What I eat turns into belly fat because my body is already in survival mode and the meds send signals to my brain that I'm hungry. My stomach literally growls. I can't work out because I'm to hungry. I have been going on walks, but it is so hot outside and I feel like I'm just more depressed because of it. There isn't much I can do. Prayers? Advice?
