Hey love! Y'know what?  My mum had the same thing happen to her.  Her thyroid was removed about four years ago and before that she had Hashimoto's.  Even with that, she was never fat.  And with the removal, she never got fat-- hell, she never even had a weight fluctuation.    So the fats and their myriad of excuses are such bullshit.  Every time I hear one I just roll my eyes and think to myself, "oh fuck off you lazy cunt.  No one cares."
