Hey everyone! Just another little information-message to help out some people.
If anyone has noticed that their eating habits do not justify their weight (eg. you don't eat much but you put on weight rapidly) then you might have a thyroid problem. NOTE: This does NOT mean that if you already had a weight problem and are trying to get it off; there is some chance but not a lot. However, if you have always been a light eater and are fairly or even extremely active but you have found that you suddenly began to put on weight, as I said you might have a thyroid problem. I'm not going to go into the sicence of it here but its basically something that holds back your metabolism. Ask you doctor; they can do blood tests and see if there's anything there. Bye!
