I Have Struggled With Weight My Whole Life

I also struggle with depression so yay, great combo.

Anyways, since I was a kid, my mom did everything so I could be thin, from karate/dance/swimming lessons combined to pills. My wedding gown price was defined by the amount of weight I lost before getting married.

Anyways.. after a surgery I gained all the lost weight and here I am again trying to lose it. In the past two weeks I lost 5 pounds. I weighed today and I am .5lbs up -_- !!! Even though I've been excercising and eating healthy. Omg I just couldn't take it anymore and I bursted into tears. It might sound silly to you, but for me it was like a horror movie turning into reality. I found my self suddenly wishing to be anorexic or something so I can finally lose this damn weight!

Have you had your thyroid tested?

@Itsmrsockmonkey Not yet, do you think I should?

@CrazyCatLady yes, a simple blood test. Many people have underachieving thyroid hormone and it needs to be a certain level. I always had trouble gaining weight growing up,so active but I strated gaining weight and found out my thyroid wasn't producing enough

@Itsmrsockmonkey Now that you say that, my sister had underachieving thyroid as well, she has been taking meds and she is finally gaining some weight.
