I don't know what else to do...help?

Question

I'm having a very difficult time and I need some advice. I keep gaining weight and I'm doing everything I can to lose weight. This has been going on for 2+ years now. When I first started college, I weighed 104 lbs. I was thin and perfect! Since then, I have gained 65 lbs. The only reason I have come up with is because I got the birth control shot. The doc said I could gain weight with it but she didn't tell me it would be that much! It has been 1 year since I've been off the shot. How do I reverse the effects. My family doctor put me on a diet about 6 months ago but it's not helping and I've stuck with it ever day. Here's my diet:

breakfast: either toast or fruit

lunch: either a pb&j sandwich or a salad or tuna sandwich with vegetables and fruit

dinner: chicken or fish with vegetables

I run 2-4 miles a day after work and my day job is in a warehouse where I move heavy boxes all day.

I only drink milk and water anymore. I can't remember the last time I had a can of pop. When I was in high school I could eat anything and everything and not gain an ounce. Now I eat a carrot and gain 3 pounds. The doc tested me for diabetes and thyroid problems but he said nothing is wrong with me. I never snack. I've become obsessed with losing weight but it's not working. I'm afraid I'll get to the point where I never eat. I'm so disgusted with my body. I've developed terrible stretch marks on my legs and hips from gaining weight so fast. Does anyone know what's going on with me and how I can fix this? I appreciate any advice you could give me! Thanks.
