:/

yeah its hyper that is more associated with weight gain

well not gain but more just being fat

What pisses me off most is that the "body positivity" movement was originally about trying to raise the self-esteem of disfigured or physically disabled people. But then feminists stole the term and made it about fat women.

lol u can be vegetarian and theres only so much your body will lose

hyperthyroidism typically is weight loss iirc

ohhh kk i have it backwards

Yeah, thats what I heard. The T4 hormone helps losing weight

75 mg every day brah

XD yeah im talkin about before you get medication to treat it too

I'm waiting for my T4 results, my doctor is fairly sure I have hypothyroidism

low energy, hair loss, takes forever for me to lose weight

I started my treatment at 15 years of age, now 26. I was never even close to fat. In fact I was a skinny kid/early teens. I did practice sports and had a normal diet. A pizza here, a mc donalds there just not everyday

I hope you do get that confirmed because then you can start treatment for your symptoms and you'll recover before you know it.

yeah I'd really like that

that said, I'm still losing weight lol, it's just very slow

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking

25

It started out of nowhere? Or you just never checked before

never checked

Yeah, the earlier the better

noticed it in my early 20s

Hopefully everything will be fine

Since you didn't treat in your teens you could have been taller than you are as well

thyroid does everything in your body. sucks when you have problems 😦

yeah my drummer realised he had it a few months ago

luckily hes like 19

That happened to me. Bones fused at 14 due to a course of steroids I had to go on for inflammatory bowel disease. I'm 180cm though so happy enough at where I got to.

had to cancell on us for a show, completely understandable,

and we managed to have our other guitarist play drums

it sucks, I have been going to the gym or go running every day for the last 6 months and count calories and don't eat crap, and I've only lost like 10 pounds in that timespan

but it does show it is possible even with your body working against you

Exactly my point. You don't just magically become fat

Well, hopefully only good things from here on now. Once you start your treatment

A reason all this talk of "privilege" really rankles with me is that really health and wealth are the only privileges. And this shit about skin colour or eating too many pizzas steals focus away from the real issues such as safeguarding our health or making sure people have roofs over their heads.

the most unfortunate side effect is the divirtion of aiming for strength

You mean how it valourizes victimhood? Or makes a virtue of victimhood?

people strive to be the biggest victim, over becoming as strong as possible

diverts people away from becoming strong

Sure

essentially ensuring the maximising of their own suffering
