Honestly none of us here can tell you anything for sure because no matter how adamantly people here insist they're always right, they're not your doctor. obviously most of the information you've been offered in this thread is correct on a general basis but nobody can say for sure what is wrong in your specific case. you need to speak to a medical professional, or a therapist, or someone who can actually give you accurate and valuable advice. We don't know you or how much of what you say is true, we dont know your medical history or anything else about you, so some of the responses here could be right or they could be completely off the mark, but you'll never know until you seek real medical help from a real professional.

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.

I'm just going to stay off of here I've already cried twice I asked for advice not to feel worse about myself then I already do.

@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.

OP, what medical conditions do you have? Are you taking medication for them?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Way* to*

weigh what is left over and substract

than calculate/convert on google
i have entrees that it only shows ounces while i weigh in grams i have to convert that and 61 gram is than 2.15 ounce etc

besides that you can make yuor own entrees

And medicine or any medical issues is not an excuse for not losing weight
it can slow it down yes
but not losing is only when you eat too much calories

Really thighten up your logging and be accurate
IN the beginning its a bit of a hassle But sit down in the evening and prelog the next day. Take your time and search the right entrees or make the ones you need
After some time it only takes you 3 minutes a day to plan and do it right

Honestly, if the thought of food makes you want to puke, you need a therapist. You don't have to be skinny to have an eating disorder and your posts about your reaction to food are really troubling. You need to take care of your mental health as much as your physical health.

ok I agree she needs to weigh everything and log it but,Im going to put this out there. my daughter was the same way,never hungry and didnt eat much food. most days it was under 1200 calories. she kept gaining weight even though she was barely eating, BUT, come to find out she has hyperthyroidism and insulin resistance(but not diabetic yet). she has only lost 14 lbs since april 2nd. she is on low carb and 1200 calories and some days she struggles to eat that much food. so yes it is possible to gain weight when you have health issues and arent eating enough food.my daughter sees an endocrinologist because of all of it. I know a lot of you said that its not possible but it is. you can also have insulin resistance and not know it. she has had it for years and all her blood work would come back normal until recently.

When I was a kid my mother could not figure out why I was gaining weight either because she moderated what I ate at home. The problem was that I went other places to get food, therefore I was indeed eating enough food to gain weight. In other words, it's possible your daughter eating more food than your realize. This has no reflection on your as a mother, but simply goes to say that there is no possible way to know exactly how much she is eating unless you are with her 24/7.

Even with a medical condition, could it be that when she was gaining weight on "under 1200 calories," she was eating more than both you or she realized?

I never really mentally got past the part where the 14 lb loss in six weeks was stated as some sort of negative

To me, that seems like an awful lot of weight to lose in six weeks--over 2 pounds a week. My mother would have freaked out at that.
