can't lose weight

[jayhart]

And desperate plea, I am alone. Allot of this is self diagnosis but the inflictions are undeniable.
I am 22 years old, male, my physical appearance, which has been just as obscure throughout my life, has been destroying it. I don’t have premium health care, in Australia, our lowest tier of medical care (public GP’s) are less concerned with my ailments. I understand that I have to propose my bodily quarrels, but I think one glance at my physical appearance should yield better results than simply prescribing an appetite suppressant, for 6 months I had eaten nutritionally (ceased drinking everything but soda, and on rare occasions I would consume bad bats), I walked one hour a day, every day, and all this effort yielded a 6 kilogram loss (139 kilograms to 133 kilograms) in 6 months. After consulting the doctor he prescribed me reductil , he proposed that I reconvene monthly to track my progress. After one month of strict dieting consisting of an absolute minimum 500 calorie deficit every day, eating extremely healthy, and in addition to my daily walks I included intense cardio for 30 minutes a day 3-4 days per week. When the moment came to weigh in after a month on this new regimen, I was devastated emotionally to have only achieved a 1 kilogram loss. I assure you my upmost sincerity that the results are unexplainable. I understand there are allot of people in denial over their failure to lose weight, but there is no dishonesty or exaggeration in this plea.
Around the time I reached puberty. I suffered unexplainable weight gain, gynocemastia (dense breast tissue), kyphosis, high blood pressure (tested by a doctor at 140/90), neck hump (possibly buffalo hump), stretch marks, keratosis pilaris, and extreme body hair growth.
I have been an active person my entire life, besides a few years of stagnation after the tearing of my ACL. You can’t really call my life involving the battle against obesity several attempts, I have been dumbfounded at lack of progress.

I'm sorry you are suffering so much. I'm not an expert either, but it sounds to me like you should get some blood tests to rule out hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease. Google both of those conditions and see if either of them fit what you are experiencing. It ***** when doctors are unhelpful, but sometimes it helps to be proactive and do the research yourself. I have had to do this three times already in my life when doctors wouldn't give me answers, and I had to figure out what was going on with me on my own. Again, I am not an expert, but it sounds to me like your weight is NOT YOUR FAULT, but stems from some kind of adrenal or hormonal condition. Best of luck to you and I hope you can find the answers you seek. <3

To write this information depresses me extremely, I find it had to continue. Recently I have had lost lots of hair from aggressive MPB. I can’t take this suffering anymore. People keep conceiving me as weak willed; well if I need more of an effort than I do now I may as well die. I cannot walk 4 hours a day; I cannot eat 1200 calories of food a day, at my weight I am not expected to, I am severely obese, when people taking a tenth of my initiative having at least initial huge losses. I have immense depression. This is a severe cry for help. I’m bordering sucidial, as you can tell including allot of physical deformities, I am mentally unstable, depressed, difficulty confronting people, paranoid. I feel so alone I have been neglected my entire life. Whatever is happening to my body needs to be treated before it ruins more than my childhood, my teens, nearly every conscionable day of my life, inflating insecurities.
