I'm late responding to this, but I just had to chime in and say I'm so sorry you had such a terrible experience! I would probably not ever see that doc again -- no doctor should make you feel badly for asking for help. That is their job! She doesn't sound very thorough at all. Many conditions (including thyroid issues) can cause weight gain, and gaining a large amount of weight in a short amount of time sounds to me like it could definitely point to a medical condition. I would go see your primary care physician right away for a full blood work up. Explain that you haven't changed your eating habits (assuming you haven't), but have been gaining weight. Your PCP will be able to point you in the right direction to identifying if there is a medical issue. In the meanwhile, I would check out all the resources people have posted here for weight loss and nutrition. My experience is that losing weight is a very personal thing, and what works for some may not work for others. Think about what motivates you in other areas of your life -- do you like to do things alone or with others? are you motivated by quick results, or do you have the patience to wait for good things? is it easier for you to exercise more or eat less? The answers to these kinds of questions are the key to figuring out a weight loss strategy that works for you, in my opinion. __________________
