I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis last year, and I can tell you that you won't get your weight issues sorted out until you have the proper treatment. I am a college athlete who consistently exercises at a high level, and I ballooned uncontrollably last summer. I started using a strict diet, but that wasn't nearly enough. I'm on the right medication now, and the "mental fog" and dreariness, which I couldn't even tell I was going through at the time, is gone. Right now this is your most important problem, and you should take every necessary step to fix it. I can personally tell you that everything you're going through is closely related to your hypothyroidism. Good luck!
