hi,

 weight, keeps going up

 and exercise is basically not there, except walking and moving in the house, so that is basically nothing..

 my whole body hurts

 I don't know where to begin,  to start moving more to try to shed this weight

my belly is like I am pregnant with triplets

and I don't understand it

it does not look normal

my aches and pains are just the same when I was at a healthy weight, and then I swelled up

like michelan man,, and or shamu

 I feel like calling Richard simmons,  when people are heavy and most part bed bound...

thanks,

Hello WellBeautifulSpirit!

I don't know if you are on any special diet yet, but if not then you may consider taking wheat out of your diet.

I am reading a book callled "wheat belly". It says that wheat of today, due to modern science, is not the same as the wheat of 40 years ago. Because of genetic changes, it is very bad for you. Some interesting facts:

-- wheat is an appetite stimulant.

-- wheat raises your blood sugar more than table sugar does!
(the glycemic index of whole wheat bread is 72, while the glycemic index of sugar is only 59)

-- wheat raises your blood sugar significantly more than eating a snickers bar!
(the bar has only a glycemic index of 41)

The high blood sugar triggers your body to start storing fat. Cut out wheat, and the fat will melt away.

Wheat also causes a lot of digestive problems for people. Cutting out wheat may help reduce abdominal bloating. Of course, lyme can cause abdominal bloating all on it's own...

Wishing you welll.

Have you also cut out dairy? A bloated stomach is often caused by lactose intolerance. Before I went on my strict Lyme diet, I used to look pregnant after eating dairy.
