My diet is going awry!

My diet is going awry! All of a sudden I have gained 12 pounds. I always watch what I eat, but I have not been very good lately, but not a 12 pound weight gain. I have been the same weight for 5 years, and I complained to the doctor that I just couldn't lose.

He was not sympathic. Then suddenly I gained this 12 pounds. I felt I needed to lose 8 pounds, so now the 8 pounds is twenty pounds. : {

The problem is everyone has to eat. I found giving up cigarettes easier than losing weight. So here I go again.

I think you are right about the quitting cigs... I have been struggling for 2 yrs... I have changed many of my bad habits , lost 17 lbs, want to go an extra 10 but my weight now is like a yo yo... I exercise and for the first 17lbs was very strick and will admit that I have laxed off some but most of my bad habits are still in the past... The snacking at night, I still drink my diet sodas, I eat more fruits and veggies, I now eat breakfast... BUT it varies with about 4 lbs either way...

Sounds like the doctor is not listening to you. It could be a problem the doc hasn't thought of yet

I lost 17 lbs during my 2nd pregnancy because I had gestational diabetes and had to eat better. Unfortunately I gained it all back. It was much easier to stick to a diet when I knew I had a baby inside me to protect.
