Anyone have thyroid problems I could talk too?
5 years ago
I’m just so tired of this tbh
Back in 2018, I worked a high stress job, where I was constantly on my feet, and my diet was limited mostly to what the residents ate, which was small low sodium meals. And I only ate during my lunch. Before this job, I wasn’t really active and my diet was shit of mostly fast food.
I started to gain weight rapidly. I went from 135 to 175 in only 4 months.
When I gained the first 10 pounds I figured it was stress from work, but it kept coming.
It stayed stagnant for a bit, and then when I stopped working the job, I stopped eating as much as I was and then continued to gain another 20 pounds.
It was at this point that I assumed, there’s no way I could possibly gain more weight, I’m in no way eating enough.
I started recording my food, and most days I do not even make 1200 calories.
I’m not starving myself I want to clarify.
Sometimes me and my bf can’t afford a Lot of food, or I’m just not hungry.
I’ll usually eat whatever leftovers from the night before dinner, and won’t really eat again until dinner time outside maybe some snacks if we have them.
I try to be more physically active to try and burn some of the fat, but after a week I check the scale and see that I have only gained weight.
As I type this I am at an all time high of 205 lbs. by my height, I am obese.
The past couple days I have had to force myself to eat as I’m just not hungry.
I drink mostly water, and I hate most sugary foods and sweets.
I don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t know what else my problem could be outside thyroid.
Last time I went to the doctor was after the 40 pounds in 4 months, and she told me it must have been stress and told me I’m too healthy to be having any underlying problems.
I could see 10 pounds being stress but 40? Really?
I hate going to the doctors. The only time they listen is when I say I want to kill myself.
I hate having all this weight. I can barely do anything without being out of breath
None of my clothes fit and I don’t have the money to be buying new ones
I hate how this extra weight makes binding so much harder for me
I feel trapped tbh
The only other person I remember was Nathan. He had some medicine to treat bipolar which kept him from losing weight. :/
If you’d like you can reach out to her! I’d like some ways to help deal with it without medication until I can convince a doctor to listen to me
I texted Mom and will let you know what she says.
I wonder if you shift the times that you eat if it makes a difference? If I stop eating like 2 hours before bed it helps me burn weight overnight to some degree. You are doing a lot right by exercising and trying to eat well.
I usually eat around 6pm but dont go to bed at a regular time. Anywhere between 10pm-2am
For better or worse I am out of ideas, but my ears always catch chatter. If I find something good that will help I will bring it to you!
And let me know if you ever need some art work done. I owe you big time 💞
Okies! At some point in a month or two I will be looking for artists who can do a 1 page 4-5 panel comic. Until then all is well. :)
