Hi gang,

I'm obese and have been since grade school. I recently found out I have an overactive thyroid. Most times I'm just not hungry or thirsty. I'm a mood eater sometimes but that just amounts to dry salads and occasional pasta salad. I go to the gym but I never loose weight. Everyone says my body is in starvation mode so I hold on to weight easily. Any suggestions would be helpful. I just can't force myself to eat. Thanks.

    Didn't your doc explain this to you?

    Are you keeping a food diary? Open it up so we can peek and try to offer more solid advice.

    this.

    i have a very hard time believing your doc wouldnt explain this to you and that you'd go by "Everyone says my body is in starvation mode" without asking your doctor.

    my side eye meter is pretty high on this thread...
