I think some docs are used to patients lying a bit about what they eat. So they think everyone lies. Before treatment for hypothyroid I measured the calories I needed to start losing weight. I had to eat 700 or less. Or I would stay the same and gain. People go Ohnooo you lie! You cannot gain on 800 calories that is physically impossible.

Gah.

Because my friend is on a longer sick leave she wants to eat with me, she eats normally and demands I also do. Which means I gained 5 pounds within a week. My body is not used to eating normally. I live in a state of starvation all the time. That is the only thing I can do not to get fat. Then people start whining I eat too little and if I would just do what they say I'd lose weight.

Blah blah blah.

I got told by my nurse a few years ago I need to stop indulging on sweets and cookies. I told her I don't eat that (I don't, I hate sweet stuff) but she was just rolling her eyes because she KNEW what I ate and I do not! So there!

I'm prone to getting fatter even with thyroid treated. It's just life for some people.

Less than 6 % sugar in Greek yogurt so no idea what that is about. I try to draw the line at 4-5 but that is just me. Most people eat a lot more!

It's really discouraging when someone thinks you're just lying and really sit at home eating lard with a spoon and sugar out of the bag. I'm simply not made for losing weight. I have no idea how to manage my friend that forces me to eat "normally", I can't eat like that in the long run...
