    Yep. I had subtle metabolism issues and just couldn’t lose weight at all, no matter what I did. Instead, I would just get increasingly exhausted. It was very confusing. Once I addressed the actual root cause of the issue, I started losing weight normally.

    Makes me wonder how many “big boned” people who struggle to lose weight have similar undiagnosed issues?

      I wonder that a lot myself. So many of the issues I was dealing with all simply boiled down to my immune system killing my thyroid. Once I got medicated and got through the recovery it’s hard to comprehend how I was just dealing with all of that every moment of every day. That stupid little organ does a shit ton of work.
