Hey Dixon,


I don't know if you know me....I'm a 52 year old woman who posts on the Monthly Abs Threads, and I read your posts quite often, and just want to chime in here. The reason I decided to provide you with TMI on my gender, age, etc., is because I get PMs from people asking me if I'm male....and.....am I gay?:H So, yes, female, and no, not gay. So sorry you are feeling down about the weight gain. Are you on anti-depressants...which can cause weight gain...or are you drinking more than "a bit?" Ugh, I feel your pain regarding the added weight. I gained over 25 lbs. in less than 3 months, and at the time....I was reading the Atkins' Diet book, and found that sudden weight gain can be caused by an underactive thyroid. Like you, I was tired ALL the time, and when I was home on the weekends....I would sleep during the during the day. My doctor had never tested my thyroid, and I begged her to do a blood test. Sure enough....it was an underactive thyroid. If your doctor hasn't done a blood test to determine this....then demand he/she do it, ASAP.

Regarding the drinking....you've stopped before....and you can do it again. Try and find out what went wrong and how you can find a new plan to stay AF. We'll be here for you. Keep posting!

Rusty,
I think you are right with thyroid , I feel a kg lost in one day and a kg add up the next.I think I am too much worried about my health and doing bad to it.
I am not really seeking any relationship here but my life back.I don't do drinking from tomorrow.
Wish you all the best.
Dix

I think I've stayed a isolated life...
I am alone and really alone at all.I tried to live myself but get frustrated sometime.
Cheers

OMG!!!! Dix....I am not seeking a relationship either!!!:H

I don't know where you live but I so was NOT implying that at all. When I introduce myself to people when I post on threads other than mine, I always tell people....female, 52, blah, blah....because otherwise, I get PMs.

Anyway....you may want to pop into the Newbiest Nest.

Take care.

Dixon just want to say welcome back. Alcohol causes weight gain and i guess if you're not active that could be a cause. Could you see you're doctor? I'm stuggling too staying af so this tuesday i'm going to my gp for antibuse or to see if she will prescribe for me. when i stopped for nearly 6 months a few years ago but now that getting enough af time some of the weight came back. I wish you well.:l

Firefox,
I know the reason that I intake too much calories while drinking, eat junk food just for taste and get a long sleep, maybe twice the I required.When I would get aware once I stopped drinking...LOL-Positive thinking doesn't do anything alone without an action. I am struggling with this , knowing the fact but procrastinating for an action.
Cheers !
