Last May I nostalgically remembering stepping on the scale and weighing 132 pounds. Today the scale said 169. I'm 5 ft 7 and I suppose I don't "look" 169 pounds because it's a lot to gain in a year.
What I'm stressed about is I don't know how it happened. My diet has barely changed and my lifestyle hasn't changed significantly either. The one thing I can think of is birth control (I've been on it since October of 2018) and since then my boobs have gone from B's to D's (so maybe that explains some of it, but I don't have 40 pound boobs). I work a desk job but when I noticed the weight piling on I started to go to the gym 3 times a week. (I've been doing this since December, yet from December alone I've gained 12 pounds?!?!). Lately I've been going on the treadmill (walking/jogging) for an hour every single morning.
I'll admit. My diet is meh, but I don't go too overboard. I do eat a lot of processed foods but I keep an eye on myself. Unfortunately when I try to cut a whole bunch of calories/ intermittent fast my body gets really tingly/burning (peripheral neuropathy maybe) I've had it since before the weight gain...it's weird... should see a doctor. Anyways
These days I feel extra bloated/gassy and a bit melancholy that nothing seems to be working. I'm working out more than I ever have in my life, and watching what I eat more than I have. Yet I've gained a bunch of weight and don't know what to do. It's really hurting my confidence/ getting in my head. Please give me advice!
