So I haven't weighed myself yet cuz I'm terrified to... but I'm trying. I went to the doctor yesterday for bloodwork and one thing they wanted to test me for was my thyroid. I got the results back and my T4 (hormone produced by the Thyroid that regulated energy and metabolism) and it's really low. I've been tested for this three times now and every time it comes back low. I also got my AST levels tested and they're on the lower end of normal (this is to check for organ damage) so that's a little concerning. I'm wondering if I have hypothyroidism like my mom... if so this explains a lot! I looked it up and exhibit a lot of the symptoms for subclinical hypothyroidism: fatigue, depression, anxiety, and consistant weight gain! If left untreated it can cause organ damage... notice the AST levels were low... concerned much? I think so! I wrote my doctor to try and get answers and I'm hoping they can do something about it. This may explain to me why I'm always struggling with my weight and feel too tired to go to the gym. I was taking T3 for a little bit to speed up my metabolism a few weeks back and I had so much energy and wasn't nearly as hungry as I normally am. Maybe I know why now...
