I would definitely take this to my doctor for advice. Did you work with a nutritionist back in 2003? Perhaps he/she would have advice? Good luck and sorry to hear you're struggling.
 
Take time to analyze.
Are you drinking water?
Are you reducing all the bad carbs?
Are you moving any?
Have you increased lean protein?
Are you tracking everything you are putting in your mouth?

This may actually be rooted in hormones and not in your daily eating habits. I think it would be worth your time and effort to discuss with your doctor and have a checkup on all your levels to sort out what is going on beyond eating and exercise. I hope you find a solution! Let us know!
