just getting fatter by the day.

I walk daily on my treadmill...daily...unless my hips and knees and feet won't work and then I at the very least get on it and try but usually only last a few minuts...five at the most...but when they aren't causing that pain I walk on the treadmill a minimum of 20 minutes or a mile,...and usually go up to a little over two miles and up to 45 minutes and am working on getting up to an hour.  I have cut out greasy foods, no more deep fried, no more processed foods, I eat more fresh fruit and veggies...have started forcing breakfast...a boiled egg and toast or just the egg...less mindless eating(I kept a hjournal of that and I couldn't believe why I was eating...mainly boredom....sitting around hurting and eating.) so I have been doing this for a very long time and you know what...I  am back up the 20 pounds I had lost.  HOw in the HECK does that work????  I am not eating sugars...don't eat dairy...and if I do it's skim milk with my cereal...no sugar on my cereal.  I don't know...I am not comfortable in my skin and I am about to chalk it up to fibro.  I haven't had my thyroid tested in the last month or so but the last time it was checked it came back okay...I don't know what to do...grrr.  Anyways...I am doing every thing right and my friends and family are witness to that...I am getting to the point where it feels like what's the point in not eating my favorite foods if I am gaining weight anyways...why not eat the food I like and enjoy??  I love my yummy salty snacks and don't do them either...it's so frustrating.  I have increased my water intake.  I don't know what to do but I am stressed about my weight.

Sorry you're so frustrated.  I would be, too.  I am no help, but all I can think of doing is tell your doctor the next time you go in.  All I can do is say I'm here to listen.  At least you exercise!  I feel so guilty because I don't exercise and sometimes don't eat right.  I will think to myself that I'll start exercising and then do it once and won't do it again for a month or so.  I know I need to just to be active.  After the kids go to sleep, I'm so worn out & just want to sit and watch TV to relax.  I sometimes don't eat until they go to bed, either.  I've been addicted to chocolate ever since Autumn was born.  I'm serious!  I eat some every day.  I just feel like I can't deal without that taste!  And I'm sure I eat more than just a little.  Now my stomach is all jiggly and my boobs actually shrunk after she was born.  I was a 34B normally, and now I can fit into a 34A but am more comfortable in those half sizes of 34nb (nearly B).  Isn't that sad?  I hate to look at myself naked.  I rarely do because I'm afraid I'd go run out to get a boob job and be obsessive over stomach crunches (maybe that part would be good).  I just have no motivation because I'm so tired all the time.  I know my poor heartrate doesn't ever get moving much and that's bad.  So, at least you're doing your body some good by exercising every day.  That really takes a lot if you ask me!
