Have them do a comprehensive thyroid test, that includes everything. Thyroid issues sometimes don't show up in the main test they do.

Get your blood checked out. Could be thyroid!

My only input is that if you are insulin resistant, it's low carb, not low fat. I'm an insulin-resistant PCOS-er.

Oh yea...we have a new Blue Chevy Spark. We named it B-dub...it's a nickname for B.W. which is an abbreviation for Blue Waffle. (Don't google Blue Waffle) We have a weird sense of humor.

Yep, I think this is right as well.

Thank you so much! I'm taking this info to my psychiatrist to ask him about.

WOW! You blew my mind away...I was an extremely picky eater when I was a child, and over the past several years I have had lists named "What my Inner Child will eat" and it's included the foods that I can eat most often without feeling icky. The list is now going to be much smaller as of now, but thank you for bringing…

Not a great memory. I've had paranoid schizophrenia, among several other things since I was 17. I'm high functioning at this point in my life, I take good medications, I have therapy weekly and I'm closely monitored. It just didn't occur to me until someone else said something that this is probably mental.

It's before I eat it, the thought of eating it. Before it even goes towards my mouth. Sorry to hear about your friend.

The psychological thing actually seems very likely. This is over food that I've eaten fairly often over my lifetime. I've always been a picky eater, but it just seems like more extreme finickiness than usual.

I've got a couple mental health diagnosis, I just thought maybe it was something physical, but the more I think about it, and the more a couple of you have mentioned it, I think it might just be mental after all. I'll still mention it to my General Practitioner tomorrow. Thank you.

Thank you for all of the responses. I get grossed out by the foods, which makes me vomit. I think it's probably psychological because it's not after I eat the foods, it's that I'm so sickened by the look and smell and IDEA of eating the foods. Also not pregnant, just wanted to throw that out there. This has to be a brain…

Thanks JoRocka. Can't do smoothies. I started taking vitamins though. I'm wondering if this is more mental than anything else. I can have a nonfat cup of milk, haven't been able to go higher fat that that. I'm just sick of this happening as frequently as it does. I'm not even weighing myself during this because I'm totally…

It seems like it creeped up on me. One day I was eating fairly normal and then it got less and less normal. The last time I tried to have something "normal" was a small bite of a burrito this weekend and it threw me into gagging and had to give it to someone else. Burritos are usually my favorite food.

I mentioned it to the doctor the last time I went, but he said he had no idea, took several blood tests and couldn't pinpoint anything. I made another appt for tomorrow.

I agree with this. Do it closer to how you plan to live after you reach your goal.

Well, Absinthe took up some calories yesterday, but it wasn't really a waste. ^_^

Honestly, I find the name "Minxy" to be a lot more suggestive than most of the pictures here. These people have worked EXTREMELY hard for what you see in their profile pictures. They are posting it because this website is about improving their bodies and health. Why wouldn't you praise them for their major accomplishments?…

Hello, I was diagnosed with PCOS in around 2002, however I first began my original weight loss journey in 2008. It took 9 months for me to lose 130 lbs. I was very thin and fit at the end. I did it with changing my diet and exercising. I didn't even exercise for the first 50 lbs that I lost, I just started eating only 1200…

Hello, in 2008, I was able to lose 130 lbs while not on my PCOS (Metformin) medication. I started at 285 lbs. I don't recommend this for everyone, but at the time I was considering weight loss surgery, so I felt that I had to do something about my weight or get cut open and I really didn't want that. For the first 5 days,…
