<human>: Within the past few months, I have gained 15 pounds. It is beginning to affect my self confidence and my libido. I feel hideous naked, and sometimes all I can think about during sex is how jiggley I am and if my boyfriend is noticing all of the less than flattering areas of my body. It stresses me out and is causing some increasingly bad relationship problems for us.

Lately (the last month or so) I have stopped eating fast food, I no longer snack on junk food, I cook healthier meals at home and eat out less, I have been working on regulating my sleep cycle, and I started going to the gym! :) I thought these things would help, but still every time I step on the scale it shows that I'm heavier. I feel out of control, like nothing I do will help. 15 pounds isn't too much, but if I keep gaining weight, I'm worried that my self esteem will be permanently affected along with my relationship with my SO.

Has anyone dealt with this sort of situation before or have any tips on how I can get healthy again/lose this weight? Or advice on how to feel more comfortable in my own skin?
