weight gain

Hello.
Over the past year or so I have gained a tremendous amount of weight and to be honest I don't know why. Sure my diet isn't the greatest, but I do like my fruits and vegetables, I do walk a lot, and I'm gaining more than I'm taking in. I'm going to doctors now to find if there is a medical cause, possibly pcos, thyroid, etc... the thing is, I'm totally embarrassed and my family and friends are embarrassed about how I look. I used to be built so nice, I'm not being stuck up at all by that remark, I'm the least conceited person you will meet, but it's true. Now I hate my body. I just cannot lose weight. And I absolutely will not have any type of weight lose surgery. I know this is not my fault, cause believe me I try. I just hate how my family and friends look at me. They are disgusted.
Has anyone been in this situation before. What should I do. Any thoughts are appreciated..

Thank you so much. Very comforting words :). I am a big time water drinker so that's a start. I need to start eating better. I do love fruits and veggies. I just don't get why I'm gaining constantly. No matter what. I am getting a thorough thyroid check also. Other than that I guess I just need to watch my diet

Never hate your body and your family should love you however you look I was a size 14 once and now I'm a 12 eat smaller portions and don't miss meals the more you miss meals and starve yourself your metabolism slows down go and buy raspberry ketones or green tea pills take them as instructed and drink loads of water and eat more salads and meat don't eat rice or pasta and do some running you will see a difference in no time
