The Shot

I know a lot of women who were super skinny in high school but when they started having sex and got on the shot they just blew up really big. But then there are those who don't gain any weight. I think it's all in the DNA.

depo shot

It's differnet for everyone, but even the nurse told me when i got it that it could cause you to gain water weight. That's what happened to me. I gained probally about 5 pounds. I just recently switched to the pill. You gotta worry about taking it every day, but no more fat!
