Thank you for your empathy. A lot of my friends dont understand- food is such a central part of getting together. So different than drugs or alcohol- you can abstain from those- not from food, and there is a lot of social pressure to eat when with people.I have to admit that sometimes I eat out of sheer boredom too! I dont want to start using it when Im alone as a coping mechanism either.
Yes, my thyroid disorder is Hashimotos. I dont know if the med increases appetite or not- I find when my dose is increased, I loose a bit of weight, then level out. This time I leveled out on the higher end.
Good idea about the library. I dont want to buy one more useless cookbook. Im one of those people who dont have a Facebook. I know I miss out on some good groups.
You have helped- good to know you train in a similar manner. I do like to exercise because it provides a great stress relief for me. I need that release and thats how I view exercise.
Thank you again !
