I tried everything to solve my foot pain:
Injection #1: six weeks of relief, back to square one.
Injection #2: four weeks.
Custom orthotics: $340 out of pocket, ended up in a drawer.
Night splint: three nights, couldn't sleep.
Then the weight started coming.
I wasn't eating more.
But when every step feels like a nail through your heel, you stop moving.
And when you stop moving, the weight doesn't just stay.
It multiplies.
Ten pounds. Then twenty. Then I stopped getting on the scale.
Doctors? Same answer every time:
"You need to lose weight." With what feet?
Lost nine pounds on Weight Watchers, gained back fourteen.
Tried cutting carbs - the scale didn't move.
Tried walking programs on Monday, quit by Friday.
I honestly just got tired.
