Quote: For my part, I need to get back to being that thinner girl he fell in love with. I have tried diet after diet, and I can't seem to stick with it. Which is odd because I have always been in shape until recently, when I gained HUGE amounts of weight. I want him to look at me again with tears in his eyes and see the beautiful girl he used to tell me he saw.
If you were always slim until recently, and the weight gain was large, consider having a doctor check you out for a few things. 1) have him check your thyroid - ask him to check not just your thyroid hormone levels, but also check for thyroid antibodies. 2) Have him check you for Cushing's syndrome - this is rare, and making the diagnosis can be difficult, but it is due to excess cortisol and can cause rapid weight gain,"moon" face, stretch marks, fatigue, depression. 3) Have him check you for polycystic ovary syndrome - excess androgens cause weight gain, glucose intolerance, infertility, irregular periods, hirsutism - lots of the symptoms will resolve with treatment with a diabetes drug like metformin.
