Hypothyroidism and weight

Erin
So I was diagnosed 2 years ago with hypothyroidism and it has been a very real struggle. Before I was diagnosed I have always had trouble keeping weight off. I am currently 5' 3" and weigh 220 pounds. I haven't been over 200 pounds in a few years because of watching calorie intake and exercise. But here lately if I look at something to eat I feel like it goes straight to my thighs lol. Anyone else have this problem? I know its a side effect of the disease but I feel so unhealthy at this weight for my size. Any other ladies out there going through this I would love to hear how you battle weight gain! Please and thank you!!
