I dont know. I mean opiates tend to keep us thin so quitting them (obviously you know suboxone is an opiate too) will inevitably make us gain some weight I would imagine. Maybe you are now where you SHOULD be. Our metabolism naturally slows as we get older too. I think you should just keep doing what youre doing- eating right, excersising etc. Hey I would much rather be fat than an addict though and thats the truth.
By the way- I am in NC too.
