I sat on the opposite side of the fence for years, underweight. My doctor once actually patted me on the back when my weight went fron 97.5lbs, to 100lbs (I am 5 feet 2 inches tall). Then when I hit my thirties, got double pneumonia I quit smoking cold turkey. Within two months it was hard to say which was the biggest, my belly or my butt...lol. I went up to 140lbs in that length of time. And the weight still hasn't dropped. As to fainting, I have had fainting spells since birth. At first it was attributed to an enlarged heart. But an ear specialist said it was more than likely due to my Meneire's syndrome which hadn't been diagnosed until I was grown. It causes fluid build-up in the inner ear which can lead to neausea, dizziness or fainting or a combination of all. It can also destroy the auditory nerve and cause deafness. Which is why I'm almost deaf. If you've had so-called frequent ear infections, have testing done to see if that could be a cause. And congratulations on the weight loss. :thumbupboth:

Let me introduce you to my multiple personalities. :)
