Weight Loss Appointment?
When you went to see a doctor about your weight loss, was it your idea? And is this a normal doctor, or a dietrician?
And what was the appointment like? If you could PLEASE include EXACTLY what happened in that office, I'd be very grateful!!
I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, so if you want to leave some things out, that'll be okay, too.
Any help would be amazing!

It was a nutritionist. It sorta was my idea, I went to my main doctor first to see if he could help me with anything, and I found out I had an oversized thyroid. Yes, it was pills. Of course they helped me - that's what stopped me all these years from losing weight. It's because I had an underactive thyroid and taking those pills made it smaller, and that's what made me lose weight. Of course it was EASIER. I'm not saying it was easy, I lost 10 lbs taking those pills, but that was one of the side effects I was definitely willing to take. After that, I had to diet & exercise like crazy, just like any other person. It was just a lot easier seen as, I didn't have to work my ass off to lose weight, like I thought I needed to.
Well, at the nutritionist, I basically just went in there. They took my weight & height. They felt around my stomach and my neck, (thyroid.) They asked me how many times a day I ate, how many times a day I exercised. Mostly what I ate and stuff. They took my blood. & After all of that they talked with my mom & I, about exercising, and how many times I should be exercising, and how much I should be eating. She gave us a few books about losing weight, and recipes & stuff like that.
