So, I'm sitting here looking at how much I eat a day. I've been eating like this, and at times less due to money, for a number of months now. I realize my health issues make it difficult for me to really get out there and be active, I try when I can, normally end up unable to move much for a few days afterwards but I still try at least.

With how much I'm taking in food wise, often maybe 2000 calories, frequently a bit below, there's no dietary reason why I should be weighing 250 pounds right now. If I was around 220 or so, yeah, then I could understand it with how much I'm taking in each day but 250 with the amount I'm eating, and I've been gaining to top it off. It isn't making a whole lot of sense.

I wonder if there's a medical reason compounding it. Now I'm not about to blame my weight on just some medical thing that is nothing but a mere suspicion but every factor and variable can add or subtract from a situation. With how much I'm taking in, there much be another factor compounding the issue, but I don't know where to start looking for it. I was eating like this back when I weighed 135 pounds only 3 and a half years ago (Yes I know that was way too light for a 6'1" man, I do not intend to get that low again but 170 would be nice to me) but the difference back then was that my joints hadn't began giving out as badly as they are now. Back then I never stopped moving but then my pain began even though I was still skinny, my energy levels tanked and my health went into a downward spiral. A spiral it never recovered from.

There must be something I can do. Some missed variable, something being overlooked. I drank just as much cola, ate even more sweets back when I was a skinny bastard. Not being able to move so much due to my health tanking so fast, yes, some weight gain is understandable, but this much while still eating the same amounts as before, maybe just a bit less in terms of candies and other sweets. It's not proportionate, There has to be another factor in it besides the health induced inactivity.

I have been a lot more stressed as of late, I wonder if that's adding to it as well since the body's response to stress is to attempt to reserve fat because, though civilized now, we are still adapted to survival and stress normally meant an incoming food shortage before the time of the supermarket. But can stress really cause that much? I know stress is a dangerous, damaging thing but this seems excessive.

I don't even know. Right now I know that my arm hurts, my joints hate me because of this weather front that's moved through and that I want to bang my head against the desk because I can't seem to adequately focus on anything for more than a few moments today.
