Hello everyone. I’m new here and I suffer from clinical depression (as the docs call it). I’ve noticed that my energy has decreased and gained so much weight. I’m supposed to get officially married in less than a month and my dead is disgustingly tight and hate myself for it. I’ve always suffered my obesity, even had weight loss surgery many years back. When I tried on my dress all I wanted to do was drink wine till I pass out but didn’t. My hubby is afraid I will stop eating and get myself sick, which I have done before. Why can I just keep the weight off. 😢

Why am I so fat
I would be considered bigger than average and I love my body. My fiance loves my curves. I could hate them but that doesn't seem helpful. I hope you can learn to love your body too. It's easier that way. I'm sure you are beautiful. Besides, you don't judge a book by it's cover, right? It's what is inside that matters and your health to some extent. That is my opinion. I wish you well. Take care.
Thank you so much. I have been trying to be so accepting of my body and my skin and I end up reverting back to hating myself. It’s been such a battle for me since I have dealt with this for so long.
Unexpected, unexplained weight gain and low energy are classic symptoms of untreated Hypothyroidism.
Have you had any investigations into the cause of these symptoms or your clinical depression?
You could try asking your doctor for the following blood tests:
TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies)
TgAb (Thyroglobulin Antibodies)
FreeT4
FreeT3
Total T4
TSH
Also levels of:
Vitamin D and Calcium
B12 and Folate
& Ferritin
Look on the "Thyroid UK" website and search 'Symtoms of an Underactive Thyroid'.
Hi:
Thank you so much. I have looked into basically everything and all I keep hearing is I’m good I just need to diet. It’s frustrating especially I’ve been fighting with obesity since I was so young.
