Need More Info.: Most women gain or lose weight because they eat more or they eat less. Please check your calorie counts. It is true that when you start taking birth control pills or you stop using them, your appetite can change and it can change your eating habits. However, we must pay attention and control our appetite. With discipline, we can get on track again. Please decrease your calorie intake and exercise.
