I am hypothyroid and have been on various meds for it for two years, during which time I have steadily put on weight, so that I am now three stone over my ideal weight.
I am generally feeling well, I eat a healthy, low carb, gluten free diet and get plenty of exercise, but I have been unable to lose any weight at all and am now gaining at about a pound a week.
Finally, last week, I got to see a dietitian on a referral from my consultant. She said she would do some research and she has just rung me to tell me that my metabolism is running so slowly that there is no prospect of me losing any weight at all and that also she has been advised by a colleague that I am over - medicated and need to reduce my meds, which she agrees will only make my metabolism slower, so it's a vicious circle.
The weight gain is affecting my self-image and my marriage, because I can't understand how DH could still fancy me if I am a size 18 instead of my usual 10. The way I feel today, depression will be the next thing.
Has anybody else experienced this situation and if so, what did you do about it?
