I’ve somehow gained 58lb since February this year and I’m genuinely baffled as to how.
At first I figured I was just overeating so in May time I started cutting my portions back and increasing my exercise. This didn’t help and I was still putting weight on steadily over a couple of months. The last 6 weeks I’ve been religiously logging everything I eat and drink into my fitness pal to see where I’m going wrong and I was consistently eating around 1400 calories a day, going to the gym 5 days a week yet still gaining weight. I’ve tried cutting my calories down to 1200 the last few weeks but that’s not helping either and I’m sure there must be something else going on. About a fortnight ago I had a pretty nasty sickness bug and didn’t eat for a good 4 days and somehow put 2lb on!
I’ve spoken to my doctor who just rolls their eyes and says I must be eating more than I’m recording but I’m genuinely not. I eventually got them to do a full blood work up and everything has came back totally normal- the only thing that had changed since my blood work the year before was my TSH level had went up from 0.7 to 3.9 but even that is within normal range.
I’m starting to feel like I’m going crazy. Im going to try cutting out carbs now and seeing if that makes a difference but if anyone has any ideas of things I could try or any suggestions of anything medical that could be causing this I would be very appreciative!
