Can you lock this please?Thank you :)
Well, definitely the more you stress over it the less good you do for yourself. Not just on an emotional level but a physical level too. Stress does all sorts of things to your body.
I wouldn't say anyone is meant to be fat but some people do seem predestined to fight a long and hard battle with their weight. I knew a guy in middle and high school that was overweight. He was very physically active, black belt, runner, played sports, just excelled. He just never seemed to drop his heft. It wasn't until he got into his twenties that it seemed to begin to peel off a bit and even then it was slow. It's not like he was a poor eater either.
Personally, if I were you, I'd focus on being at my optimal health at my current weight. I think that's the starting point. And to me, that would be obtaining those proper thyroid tests and getting things seriously looked at there. Focus on that, not your fat. If you are thyroid problematic, then it will definitely bother your weight. Research, learn what tests you need, find someone who will give you what you demand.
I got my proper test.It leads toward Hashimoto,but it hasn't started yet so I can't take anything. And I'm not stressed,I'm angry..
Sadly Hashimoto is a brilliant trickster for doctors. They might not read things as started or as a problem but your body may very well already be experiencing it. What tests have you had? There's more than just a THS that should be done and some doctors are blissfully unaware of it, and/or will ignore certain levels regardless. If any tests have shown any inkling of anything wrong with your thyroid, start digging. Get copies of your tests for your own personal records so you know what's going on. Learn what you can do for yourself without the medical world until you can work with them further on it. Thyroid can be a real fuck up.
You also might want to get into the habit of just in general, requesting copies of tests, x-rays, whatever if you don't already. I've always found whatever medical problems had it's best to have your own records. It makes it easier in the long run. Especially since not every doctor or tech is built equally.
[edit] I only make a point because I know from family firsthand how difficult doctors can be about the thyroid and what it can do to a person. It's just something to pay close attention to.
Hmm I saw an..endocrinologist.He told me that I had to take a blood test every year to check how it changes. I also had many many blood test and an ultrasound (got some bump here and there and not working correctly everywhere) and that's all. I'll ask if I can get a copy but I doubt I can get one.And I don't really know where to go with these documents.
If you get copies of your records, which they really have no reason to deny you, just keep them in a file. It will help you track things as well as doctors and anyone you might want to go to. That way years in the future you can say, yes, I have all this from all these years. It's just good to have them on hand. I keep my xrays because I know the tech staff here are morons. I don't even count on what they say. I take them to a person that knows their job better.
He could be great, but like I said, not everyone is built the same, and the thyroid is its own greatest bullshitter. Plus, the more you know the more power you have with your own health. :) Knowledge is power especially dealing with the medical industry which often keeps things hidden away.
It just makes me sick that I get told to "cope" with my weight :/ I mean..if I'd be alright with it,I wouldn't seek for something.
It's their easiest response. I've been told to cope with a few things too, which I literally have to until I can find a proper remedy. It's the easy response, and the worst response, because it means exactly what we don't want to hear. "I can't help you. You just have to deal with it."
I found that it has made me dive into my health more seriously. I pay attention more, I research more, I track more. I keep my records so that if I ever come across an opportunity to get with a genius in the field, I have it all there for me.
Try and get inspired by it is all I can say. What gender are you? It doesn't matter to me, but it does matter to your health. You'd be entirely surprised how different the genders are and how it can affect health. How hormones make your brain work and in turn make your whole body work. Drain your library! Build a list of questions and start finding answers. I find the more you know, the more you can tell a doctor what direction you need to go in, the better it is.
