Cold

Because my main meal is in the evening I am usually cold during the day, then after I have had my well balanced, satisfying dinner I warm up. I think this is normal.0

Yeah, other people have given explanations, they just don't seem to fit your circumstances.0

Actually I still have weight to lose I am not lean or underweight. I just gave up the carbs a week ago because it is what works for me to keep my hunger in check pretty weird given where I was coming from but yes I was at the point where I was hungry all the time. My blood pressure is fine so that is not it. I guess I can add it to my list of quirks. Makes me different.
You have unilaterally rejected everything anyone has offered. I don't understand the reason for your post. It seems like you want to cling to this idea that you're different, or (in your own words) a freak. What's the point of that??

Since you say you've been checked out by the doctor and everything came back normal, then it sounds like you're just one of those people who feel cold more.
I'm the opposite. I get really, really tired and dizzy and lethargic and uncomfortable in the heat -- even non-extreme heat. I hate the beach. I hate hot weather vacations. I'd prefer to be on the ski hill than on the beach.
Since losing 50lbs I feel the cold a bit more than I did before, but I'm still pretty comfortable at cold temperatures. But don't get me into any kind of heat or humidity; I can't take it.
I think some people just have different micro-climates. We are all fairly comfortable at room temperature (though some studies indicate that men prefer a room temperature that's a few degrees colder than women; since in corporate America we still have a huge gender gap in the workplace, most workplaces have a thermostat controlled by men and a bunch of women wearing sweaters). But some of us prefer hotter temperatures than others.
Rule out medical issues first. Once you've done that, add some layers or turn up the heat.0 -

Not sure where you get that idea! The comments to get my blood work done I simply say that I have all is good. I can't make up low blood pressure or menopause, being underweight or low BMI so I'm not going to agree there. Actually there are many who have commented that sound just like me yet they also have no answers
So to all the cold people out there stay warm have some soup, tea or coffee put on your sweaters and stay warm0 -
I knew there had to be a man to blame!0 -

What are you wearing for shoes? After I bought Sorel Manawans, my heating bill went down $50 per month. Not saying you can wear these to work, but maybe some office-friendly insulated boots.

Also, see if your office will let you have a space heater at your desk. There are several women in my office who have little electric space heaters at their cubicles. (Some places won't allow them 'cause, if they malfunction, there's an outside chance they could be a fire hazard. But most will be just fine with it if you ask. Some might even spring for them.)0

I am the same way!! I'm 5'3' and started at 160lbs. As I started to lose weight I started to freeze all the time. I would have the heater on in the house even while it was 80 degrees outside. I used to only sleep in my undies and a tank top with just the comforter on the bed. Now I wear pants, socks, long sleeve shirt, and I put extra blankets on. My bmi was a 26 and now it is down to 24. I'm currently at 138lbs and I still have 8 pounds to lose. But honestly I'm sitting at my desk right now with a space heater warming my legs. Not sure what's going on lol so I understand how you feel!!0

For me, being unusually cold indicates I'm not eating enough. I make an effort to eat more fat for a day or two and I'm back to normal.0

Those look comfy.0 -

I do have a space heater it really helps.0 -
Being menopausal, on the low end of optimal blood pressure, and post-bariatric, I do get cold. And hot. And cold. I dress in layers, have my merino wool sweater and gloves (yes, gloves!) at work, and my electric blanket at home. I don't let myself get too hot or too cold.0

I'm not sure who mentioned it but since it is not everyday that I'm bone chilling cold most days just regular cold. Days like today I feel cold right down to my bones I also slept not that great. Woke up at 3:30 with stomach pains ( thank you chili) and then had to be up at 4:30 anyway. So maybe it is a lack of sleep thing. I'm going to start using the Fitbit sleep thing and then put notes on my wicked cold days to see if it lines up.
Thank you I knew something positive could come out of this0 -

Yes, lack of sleep can most certainly do that to you. You might also be coming down with a cold or flu, so keep an eye on your health.0 -

I think the sleep thing could be it but the solution is the hard part.0 -

Pretty much and I have found its not as weird as I thought. And no one on here has been given any explanation from there doctors either.
I did - circulation problems. There's nothing to be done about it unless my veins are surgically removed and replaced with correctly working ones. If I move back to Iowa or anywhere further south, my coldness will go away.
You know what works to keep you warm. You know others have similar cold problems.0
