I had the same problem with hormones and weight. I was about 70 lbs overweight, and I had hypothyroidism, which the drs said was incurable and that I would be taking a pill for the rest of my life.

I fast (juiced) for 40 days a year and a half ago, and it was worth every minute! I lost 20lbs, but started eating a raw diet, and periodically fasted for ~3 days. After a year I had lost 69 lbs, no longer had hypothyroidism, no depression whatsoever, happiest I have ever been, and so on.

I start eating cooked food again a few months ago and I immediately started putting the weight on and get moody. So I, too, am fasting, and I am really looking forward to getting my body back in check.

This is going to be the best thing you will ever do for yourself. If you are discouraged, just remember that the day you had slotted is going to come one way or another. Once you get to that day, you will be able to look back and know that you made it rather than look back and know you will have to start over.

You're doing great!
