I never tipped the scales past 100 then had my thyroid removed and in one year tipped them at 200.
That was twenty years ago. I take the second highest thyroid daily dose made and am an active person.
With the thyroid disease I had I am lucky to be alive.
My doctors never tell me to do more dieting or excercise they know it is out of a physical nature.
They do treat my illness and sports injuries.
I stopped wearing the full length dresses and now wear jeans and nice tops that cover the lower stomach. People thinK I have lost allot of weight it is not so. Just dressing differently.
While I am not a pretty picture I fix my hair and use a little make up. Men have confessed that I have a very sensual attraction. Nice I am just an ole' boney girl stuck in a fat suit.
I tried the starvation diets and ended up in the Hospital. Now I eat all the veggies and fruit I want. My big down fall is Coca Cola which I limit two a day.
It is not fun being fat but I relize my alternative would be death if I did not have my thyroid removed all those years ago.
Thanks for bringing up the thyriod aspect. I am sure if I did not excercise and watch what I ate I would be another 100 lbs. heavier.

A few months ago I discovered Kroger's seltzer water, it's very bubbly, and scented orange, raspberry, or lemon-lime. Once you get used to it, it's positively addictive... yet it has no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, nothing. But it fulfills that craving I have for something cold and bubbly. I drink a bottle a day.
