Yeah, I started gaining weight after a long period of starving myself and I feel the same.

But according to my councellor, your metabolism gets better over the course of a year or two. And actually, when it does increase you lose a little weight. Excercise and water are supposed to help increase metabolism, and green tea and spicy food.
