Oh but I wish it were. My Endo. told me I was probably just one of those
people who couldn't eat very much. I went from being a very skinny kid who
could eat anything and never put on an ounce to an overweight adult who just
looks at food and gains. Actually I weigh now what I weighed almost 16
years ago when I got married. I did put on some weight oddly after I had
the baby. I did manage to lose it and then some. But I also had thyroid
problems. That in and of itself I think was causing weight problems both
gain and loss because I was both hyper and hypo.

I did manage to lose some more weight when I stopped eating lunch. The
dietician I saw told me I wasn't taking in enough calories and I should eat
lunch again. I did and quickly regained the weight. I should add that I
started on insulin at this time. I don't know how much (if any) the insulin
had to do with this.

I then stopped eating lunch again at the recommendation of my Endo. So I
eat a small breakfast, then a normal sized dinner, and a snack before bed.
I rarely ever eat snacks during the day. If I do it is usually a piece of
cheese or a handful of nuts or seeds. Once in a while a pickle or some
olives. I rarely ever eat sweets. AFAIK, I have not lost any weight since
cutting out that meal.
