Before being diagnosed I never had an issue with my weight it never even fluctuated in the slightest. At diagnosis I lost a tremendous amount of weight. Since then I fluctuate up and down depending on flare or pred dosage lol.
Recently however I have watched what I ate I exercise moderately yet do nothing but gain weight. It is a running joke in my house that I eat lile a mouse and my mum pigs out in the evening and I gain her weight lol.
a couple of weeks back I moderately ate salads veg everything someone with crohns would struggle with just to mentally know I was eating right I briskly walked every day for approx 30 mins each time... I went to the dr at the end of the week and id gained 6lbs... when I explained this to him he said "we definitely need to get this weight under control" and left the room.
Im not excessively over weight. Im 5"3 and last weighed in at 166lbs... im avoiding the scales now... but im so demotivated... I am doing all the right things but nothings giving my clothes no longer fit and its depressing. I want to feel good about my body even if I cant get my weight back down....
I dont know what to do. Ive not exercised since seeing the dr lol too much pain exhaustion and demotivation...
maybe I need a buddy to do this with.. or just people to put me in my place on an off day... I dont know.. just dunno how im meant to stay motivated instead of getting depressed lol...
sorry for moaning there could be so many things that could be worse.. its just so hard to come to terms with this "new" body of mine...
