I don't.

I know a lot of people try to pull the "thyroid problem" thing. Sure, that's actually pretty common, but unless your problem is severe, and your thyroid had to be REMOVED, then your thyroid is not making you obese. It may give you a tendency to gain weight, but that does not automatically make you destined to be obese.

Your victimizer's approach is.

And you guys know what I mean by obese.

Seriously, the least you can do is exercise. Maybe you don't want to eat rabbit food, and that's fine. But what's your excuse for not exercising?

Oh dear.

How much do you actually know about hypothyroidism?

I would know, since I have it. The example I gave about thyroid is my own. I had my own removed at the age of 10.

Then you will know what thyroxine does in the body.

Thyroxine basically controls metabolism, hence why people with hyperthyroidism (too much thyroxine) tend to be really, really thin and unable to put on weight.

The opposite is also true, people with hypothyroidism have a slower rate of metabolism than normal people, and have a tendency to put on more weight.

The problem with you, I'm assuming anyway, is that you're quite young. Some people that have hypothyroidism are older, and therefore their metabolism has slowed even more, meaning that it's even harder to lose weight.

I wouldn't judge people - it may be the case that it becomes even harder for you to lose weight as you get older because you've had you gland removed.
