Dr Malcolm Kendrick doesn't half get about lately.... 
independent.co.uk/life-styl...
(from his book doctoring data) - food for thought?
I for one, have no chance of being svelte in the near future - so may as well not worry about a few extra pounds, for now anyway ... J 
Does this mean that I have to gain weight? I don`t fancy doing that!
Why Don't we all just stop listening to them and let them fight it out between themselves!
Besides, where is the proof that being over-weight/obese is a seperate 'problem' set aside from everything else? What if - as in thyroid disease - it's just another symptom, and it's the under-lying disfunction that causes all the problems associated with being over-weight/obese. The medical profession are very, very fond of putting the cart before the horse and confusing symptoms with diseases. I think there's a distinct possibility that they've done that in this area, too.
What fab news! I can now not bother trying to fasten my jeans up and just my stomach free fall...wahayeeeeeeeeeeee!
Cough....
Is it just me or is society fat-obsessed?
I'm not entirely sure it matters if you're fat or thin... both states have their difficulties.
Yet I knew 2 chaps with the same 'big C' condition - there was quite a difference in survival rate as one had 'reserves' - as Dr Kendrick notes some studies claim to "save lives" - nope, no-one's going to come out of this alive!
we may hope to gain a little extra time 'tho. I don't find that depressing, just factual.
everyone's congratulated for losing the weight... some get certificates - well done! - er- perhaps you're actually ill? (not making things up there) yes I lost 4 stone and felt awful! (looking back I was "running on adrenalin" as I actually did nothing) hindsight can't be bought...
I work in an office where no-one eats in public (female 'no-ones' that is) or allowed to admit to eating at all? Someone's birthday - a piece of cake - oh! how naughty! suddenly it tastes better (I'd rather a twiglet).
And this isn't my first office job! (The world is crazier than me!)
thanks for listening J
Can losing weight mean that you need less levothyroxine?
Can you contact a doctor that you've seen before if you're no longer their patient?
Endo put my breathing problems down to being overweight
Suppressed TSH but overweight
What does being euthyroid mean? Is it just being 'normal'?
