I'm 16 years old and I used to suffer from a hyperactive thyroid. This meant I had a high metabolism and heart rate. I grew up constantly not having to worry about what I ate because I never gained any weight. When I was 14 I found out that I had a hyperactive thyroid and that it had to be fixed. When they removed or got rid of my thyroid I gained weight in a day I went from being a cereal box to a Coke bottle. I didn't mind it at first but then I realized I never stopped gaining weight. I went from being a hundred pounds to one hundred and thirty five and I just keep gaining. I'm not comfortable in my skin. I ripped three pairs of jeans in a matter of three days and its really taken a blow to my self-esteem. I don't know what to do. I try to work out but I don't want to go to the gym by myself or in front of other people. If I try to work out at home I'll last for a week or two before I just end up throwing out the routine. I can't diet because me nor my parents have the money to buy "healthy and organic" foods. I need advice, please help
