Thanks! It's the best advice yet I have actually talked to her and she told me to go on basically the atkins diet log EVERYTHING I eat also that I have a thyroid issue and a small metabolic disorder. After my father died I just stopped caring about anything and food was one of those things.
Not surprising that someone says the best advice is pretty much the person not telling the OP that they are doing something wrong. So OP, I guess since that's the advice you were looking for I guess this thread is done?
Thats not what I said either, you're being ridiculous. Its quite obvious that something is wrong with the OP, whether its her own doing or whether she's being completely honest and its something medical. But I'm sorry that I'm not going to sit here and diagnose a person I've never met over the internet.
Wow I asked for advice on why I'm never hungry! I didn't asked to be bashed or made go feel like crap! I'm depressed enough as it is I don't need people I don't know calling me a liar or anything else! I have been to the doctor I DO have medical conditions! I am hoping to see a specialist because the thought of food makes me want to puke! I'm forcing myself to eat breakfast everyday which is a HUGE start for me especially this past year. When I used to log on here at the end of the day it would always tell me I'm not eating enough calories and in two weeks I would weigh the same. So obviously me not eating enough is a problem. And I opened up my journal if there is a way to view it then view it!
i have my share of medical issues
I hold water too....a lot ( i gain of one dinner out almost 8 pound and that was not just one time ...almost every time i eat out and get to much salt bammmmm water weight)
I am never hungry also
Still i eat
And i gained weight because i ate to much
So you can go to a doctor yes you can go on Atkins...you can restrict yourself from food groups
It doesn't matter at all.
It comes down (which ever way you choose it) to eating less calories than you burn.
The simple way for me to do that ( with my medical conditions i add no salt at all and i am carefull with adding sugar and yes i still eat fruit....a lot) is to WEIGH ALL YOUR SOLID FOODS ON A FOOD SCALE AND LOG THEM.... and measure your liquids ( only the liquids that contain calories)
Fill in the MFP settings and goals and eat around your calorie allowance number.
Count what you eat a day and create a deficit ( so eat less calories than you burn)
That is really the only way to lose weight. Now your medical conditions, your deficit, and some other factors will determent how much to lose and how fast lose.
You can deny, you can choose other options
But its your journey, your body, and your health
How much do you want this, there is no easy way out......you gained it. Now this is the way to lose
Be honest to your self because your body is the perfect calculator of every calorie you eat.
It doesn't care if you are hungry or not, over eat, under eat etc. It counts and dont lie about the intake.

Are you saying I'm the one who's calling you a liar? Because I feel like I'm sticking up for you if anything... I'm sorry if you feel bashed, I feel bad if I made you feel that way.. Its good that you're seeing a specialist though, I hope you can get some real answers and figure out how to continue on your weight loss and health journey.
No I don't think you are!
I think logging is a great idea and you should keep that up for at least a couple of weeks then reassess
But weigh everything ...not 0.8 of a serving but how much you ate in grammes

@OP. Log everything by weight for a week in your diary, and then ask your original question again. Forum members will be able to give better advice when we can see what you eat.
Without much information available, we are all guessing what your situation may be.0 -

No one is trying or wants to make you cry. But we would be able to give better advice if you logged your food properly for a while. Give it a go for a few weeks weighing everything and see how you do.0 -
OP, what medical conditions do you have? Are you taking medication for them?0

You haven't logged anything apart from today's breakfast in the past week?0 -
You need to log everything you are currently grazing on
After a few days of that you'll see why you're putting in weight
You could experiment with feeling hungry by taking a small fast ...say not allowing yourself to eat until supper time ...
But seriously weigh your food and log it accurately ...self knowledge is the key

It's always upsetting to not hear what you want to hear.0

There's a tv programme here in the UK called secret eaters. For the people on there, they are determined that they shouldn't be gaining weight and that their gains are a complete mystery until theyre followed by private detectives.
Whilst it's a bit of a daft programme, it goes to show how many people are adamant that they don't over eat and that their weight shouldn't be rising.
I know you said you weren't going to read this any more but whats the harm in logging. It can only help you.0 -
Op like others have stated, nobody here is trying to make you cry. People don't gain weight magically. You have only logged breakfast today and other then that, your log is empty. Your not weighing your foods properly, because 0.6 of a sausage patty isn't the correct way to enter how much sausage you've eaten. Weigh things on a scale, in grams.
If you truly believe that your gaining all this weight without eating at a surplus, then you need to find a specialist to help you and access your medical situation. But just know that they'll also ask you to weigh all your foods and log them so they can see how much you consume. So either way, you need to start weighing foods and logging correctly if you want to pursue this.
I'm sorry you feel attacked, but you truly haven't been. Ppl are just trying to show you how it is and for whatever reason, you don't seem to want to hear it.0 -
OP. go and see a doctor asap. This is not the place as most people will tell you the same thing. If you truly are not eating at all ( or barely anything ) and are gaing weight it's something wrong.0
-
If you want to succeed at losing weight you have to be honest with yourself about what you are eating in the first place. I log everything even on days when I've gone completely off track and eaten double my goal (like this last week!). It's the only way.

I was on medicine for my thyroid but I stopped taking it someone else asked me that. I am on Wellbutrin and anxiety medicine. I weighed the sausage a whole one weighed .08 ounces I only ate half so I really don't know how to log it since it doesn't show a weigh go log food via ounces.0 -

Well. There's your problem. If you are hypothyroid, your CO is going to be lower than normal calculators. Why did you stop taking your medication?

I used to log all the time, I just lost my give a damn after my dad died. Back when I was logging with my exercising at the end of the day it would always tell me I'm not eating enough calories.0 -

I don't know my fitness pal app doesn't show a spot where I can log food in ounces. So I really just log how it offers. I stopped taking my medicine because I was just borderline hypothyroidism and it was causing cystic acne. I'm supposed to be retested soon to see where my thyroid is at after being off the medicine for three months.0
