How can this be? I calorie count compulsively, consume between 1100 and 1600 cals per day (in aid of not hitting starvation mode), with the days where I consume are generally when I'm going to the gym, building up my running (I ran for 22 minutes today, this is nothing compared to many of you but I am deeply unfit). Yet still, I gain weight. I took my measurements after my gym session - 35-28-39. 39 inches around my hips? Really? I was 37 6 months ago!
I went to the doctors about changes to my bowel movements (I've always, despite having the "perfect" diet for it, been constipated, but now there's mucus and it's gross) and they asked me lots of questions...
Doctors
"Have you been losing weight?" - No, I've actually been gaining it despite trying to lose it and..
"OK, next question"
Seriously, isn't the fact that I've come in a few times about weight increasing and it's STILL happening a bad thing? I know that's not quite what you're looking for (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease...) but pay attention!! I'm not stupid, I'm not shovelling my face with fast food, I'm not inactive and I'm eating a healthy range of foods! FFS!
Bottom of it is, I'm having blood tests to see if there's anything up with my system. I'm fairly sure they'll come back negative.
Since I'm leaving the country for a couple of months, I shall be socialising somewhat this week. GAH it always involves food! On the plus side - travelling = vomiting and diarrhoea and not able to eat when it's too hot and weight loss. Surely?
