I read the post that you linked me to, but I am confused by what exactly you are saying. What are you suggesting that i do exactly?

a few days. I weight myself every day (I know, bad) but I have always had body issues and have developed a sort of phobia of gaining weight. I fixate when I gain even a few hundred grams so when I up my caloric intake and see those (even small) gains it effects my mental health (probably more than my physical health).

It might be not enough calories, but then wouldn't blood tests indicate deficiencies? I have none.

I'm definitely not going down the rogaine path. I feel like it's a bandaid. If there is something going on internally I would like to treat that. Also rogaine is a slippery slope, once you stop using it symptoms worsen X10. I don't want to depend on it forever. I have seen a dermatologist, my scalp looks fine but he didn't…

These suggestions are good, but when I increase my calories i gain weight :( EVERYTIME!!! And I really don't eat many calories. If I eat back exercise calories, I gain weight. This is something that makes me really nervous. Im scared to try again.

No. Unfortunately I don't live in the US where it's a s easy as "if your doctor isn't cooperating with you, switch doctors." I have a high TSH (4.8) but that is in what my GP considers normal range (.5-5). She refuses to acknowledge the new ranges used in the states (.5-3.5) , where my TSH is def hypothyroid. So no. No…

I know that it is bad what I'm doing but I am so scared (honestly I think I have a phobia) of gaining weight ( because of how hard it is for me to lose it) that increasing my calories is actually physically distressing to me. At this point is psychological and I don't know what to do. My body problems consume my life.

I've been at 1200 calories and exercising at least 5 days a week for years. If I eat back exercise burns or more than 1200 I gain weight. Period. Welcome to the world of a messed up thyroid. I will forever h e to be on a diet to even maintain weight.

But the thing is that I DO feel fat/bloated/puffy when I look in the mirror even BEFORE I weigh myself I I know that I've gained weight by just looking. And the weirder thing is if its water weight, fine then it should come off after a few days but it takes forever usually and it cancels out most of my progress making…
