I do slimming world if only to keep my eye on the ball X drink loads of water between 2 and 3 litres a day most of the time ur thirsty not hungry if ur still nibbling after 30 mins AV some fruit with fat free yogurt X omelettes are good or hard boiled eggs as protein fills u for longer X I also AV 1/3 of every plate of food as veg or salad hope it helps x

I have found cupping and acupuncture treatments help with fighting water retention. Movement and drinking water do help as week because they help to flush the fluid out of the body. Even doing some stretches when sitting can help with this and weight loss if done consistantly.

Make sure you are drinking lots of water... Sometimes when the body is thirsty the brain sends the sense of hunger. Also I found that when my activity slows down I eat more. So try and find ways to keep busy. Its hard when you are in pain. Maybe mindful meditation or yoga. (There are low impact yoga moves specifically for people with chronic pain. I have a few saved to my pinterest account.) I also try to plan ahead on my good days. Make dinners and lunches ahead of time to save me from fast food and prepackaged food. People with fibro tend to get IBS and leaky gut so they are more susceptible to food sensitivities. Some of the worst culprits are sugar, dairy, gluten, and msg. Food sensitivities can add to inflammation and make pain worse. Hope this helps.

I've been on pain meds for a long while and I don't agree you should just accept weight gain I've not gained weight I watch way I eat AV 1/3 of my plate veg every meal don't use any oil only 1 cal spray don't eat any fat only eat Wholemeal bread 1 slice per day drink loads of water X you can still be in control of ur body I would strongly advise joining a group if only to keep ur eye on things x
