I had a doctor and nutionist about 8 years ago, but when I moved I didn't look for new ones (mostly money reasons but also out of fear). They told me my body was in starvation mode. They also are the ones who told me I was annorexic.
Most of the time I am not purposefully staving myself, and that is apparently the difference between AN and anorexia. I don't have an appetite, I get full faster than most people.
I don't have any type of junk food in my house, and rarely eat junk food outside of my house. I eat a bunch of veggies, and some fruit... I would have to say that bread is my junk food. I have probably 3-4 pieces of bread in a day. I do know that the nutritionist I was seeing told me only 2 pieces of bread OR 2 servings of starch a day.
I have had many labs run, including thyroid, and everything comes back normal. I have a vit D deficiency which is normal for people who live where I live because of how long of a winter we have and not a lot of sun. The only other lab that came back sightly lower than normal is my protein.
I'm hoping you are right about my new T, but I'm scared. People don't believe me when I mention how little I eat, because they look at my weight and because I'm fat it must mean I eat all junk food and I must eat all the time.
Thank you Eskielover, I appreciate the support.
