Today, after years of training myself to crave healthier foods in order to lose weight, I found out that some of my favorite health foods actually aggravate my hypothyroidism, and indirectly reduce my metabolism. Broccoli and soybeans are making me fat. FML

I'm trying!

Today, I was trying to exercise to lose weight but I got terrible bloating. Turns out that’s a common response, because the body thinks it’s being stressed. This is right after being diagnosed with allergies to some vegetables. I’m trying to be healthy, I swear. My body won’t let me. FML

Today, despite feeling healthier than ever, losing fat, gaining muscle and having perfect blood results, my morbidly obese relatives keep telling me that my new vegan diet is "unhealthy". FML

Quack detector

Today, I went to see a "Weight loss Manager." When I told her that I have a slow thyroid at the of age 29, she excitedly explained that it's all in my head, and that I gain weight because of the food I eat. I'm a healthcare professional and I think I went to see a quack. FML

Today, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. FML

Muscle mass?

Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML

Today, after a year of diet and rigorous exercise, I've still gained weight. Confused, I went to my doctor. Apparently I have a thyroid condition he forgot to mention, and therefore haven't been on medication for, thus causing weight gain. FML

Today, I found out the medications my doctor gave me for depression are making me fat. My main reason for depression is an eating disorder. Now, I'm fat instead of just thinking I am. FML

Today, I found out the hard way that if you spontaneously begin to lose weight, you may have cancer, not an increased metabolism. FML

It just affects your thyroid and may reduce your metabolism but you won't gain 100lbs out of it.

Gawd...this is like the guy that doesn't smoke but gets lung cancer anyway. Well, three things: A: That sucks donkey balls B: Don't give up C: You'll find something that works! OH...and: D: I don't know if you're a man or a woman, but sex is a great way to lose weight and it's a TON more fun than dieting!

I find it interesting that YOURS is the first "fatty" comment I've seen so far including the sixteen people who posted before you and everyone who responded to their posts...

Well, your first problem is that soy is in your diet. Soy, contrary to popular belief is horrible for your body, contains phytoestrogens which do all kinds of messed up shit to your endocrine system (thats hormones for all of you not in some kind of health field) which will in turn **** up your thyroid function.
