Thats one of the many problems with driving a truck for a living! All you do is sit and steer. Your not alone, I too have a weight issue, but mine, in part is due to some of the medications I take, they make you gain weight. I also have a sweet tooth for sugar, coke, cake, snacks etc. the one thing that has helped is to replace the sweet snacks with fruit, every truck stop now carries bananas and apples, and I try not to eat snacks at all if I can help it.
I also park as far away from the truck stop restaurant as I can forcing me to walk more because walking is great exercise. Now I will take a bicycle with me as well for when I am on my break and ride it around. Its better than walking and less problems for your knees than walking can be. I also have tried to cut out the cokes I drink, usually its for the caffeine because I dont do coffee. hang in there, your certainly not alone, have you looked at some of the guys walking in and out of the truck stops? Many have weight issues, I guess thats why so many truck stops offer lean meals on there menu's, I try to eat lean cuisines while I am out on the road just to cut back on some calories, and they are easy to heat up in the micro wave. (Saves you a ton of money too!)
Good luck!
