okay. so what if im the only one who truely hates the way i look.
and i cry so often about how overweight ive become.
and no matter how hard i try...i always seem to fail in dieting.
i mean i run at about 5mph a good 3 times a week. and i run about 4 miles.

and when i say no pounds are being lost. i mean it.
its like no matter what i do....i gain and gain and gain.
and something inside meh thinks that its a heath problem.
but i kno thats not true. because theres nothing wrong with meh.


but really. why cant i seem to lose any weight at all? what am i doing to myself...whats wrong?
im always so depressed about my weight...and when i get around old friends i tend to wear looser shirts that way hopefully they can't see the weight ive gained since highschool.



please. someone help meh.
if there is any help to give.

Oh, Sweetie! I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I hope you don't feel this way ALL the time. (I know I feel that way SOME of the time myself and it sucks!).



I am so stressed out myself right now that I only have sympathy and a prayer to offer, so I hope that someone else has a more eloquent way to express concern for you.

im almost so confused as to what im doing...am i doing something wrong.


i eat healthy foods. i excersize.
what am i missing.

what??

I feel for you. I really do. I see no change in how I look even with 22lbs gone. It can be hard. Maybe write down everything you eat for a week. Post it here on the site. People can take a look and see what is going on. Sometimes we eat more than we think and don't even realize it. Sometimes we are eating to much of one thing and not enough of another. Food changes without some amount of exercise will not get us very far. Exercise without some food changes is the same way.

If you are truly eating healthy and exercising so much and STILL gaining, I would see an endocrinologist. Oftentimes, the reason for this is hormonal and can be improved. I would get your thyroid checked and be evaluated for other hormonal problems that impede weight loss, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Otherwise, it may just be that you have a slower metabolism and are a very slow loser. There are some people that can only lose a pound or so per month even with maximum diet/exercise efforts.

Hugs to you and best wishes,
