I'm Cold?!

[CalgaryWoman 24]

Ok, perhaps I'm losing my mind. I was sleeved June 30th and I have been decidedly cooler since I woke up. I actually get cold! I don't think I've been cold in years. Here in town we are seeing temperatures of 30c. I'm cold in the air conditioning. What the heck?! Has this happened to others? So weird.

Very common to get cold as you lose weight. Apparently you have lost enough weight for your body to feel it. I used to sweat in 75 degrees (sorry I'm American so we use dumb-as-f**k measurements unlike the rest of the world). Now I freeze in 75 degree weather.

I was cold for like the first 18 months. Then when my weight loss leveled out I got close to normal. I am hot when other people are hot and cold when other people are cold. Although I have a pretty high heat tolerance now.

My temperature fluctuates from hot to cold. I used to get hot a lot but now I sweat when I walk and get flushed. Maybe cause i am 48 who knows.

Yes, happened to me. I used to be the one in the office sweating and wishing they would turn up the AC. Now I'm always freezing. I have a sweater that I wear all year at work and have even brought in a personal heater

I'm always cold! I have a heater in my office and have it on almost all day. The AC is on at work (today it's 92*F out) and my office heater has been on, and I'm wearing a sweater too. I wear my winter thermal pjs year round too. And there are days where I turn the heater on in the car towards me while the rest of the family has the car AC on. They think I'm crazy, lol.

At 2 years out I don;t know if I'll ever level out to "normal" again, but can now sympathize with my older female co-workers, friends, and family who are going through 'the change'. lol.

So weird , I use to be hot all the time. now, I also get colder. I've had to reset the ac to a warmer temp because I was freezing in my house.

[Apple1 2,572]

I have the same problem. I went from hot all the time to freezing. My dh used to get cold I had the ac set so low, now I am the one turning the thermostat up..lol

crazy.

I'm cold all the time now, especially in the air conditioning. Other people complain it's hot and I'm wearing a sweater in July

[julasif 13]

Me too! It's summer here in Texas and everyone is complaining about the heat except me....For once!

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

I am freezing and NO ONE can believe it. My one friend jokes that when I come visit he is going to set the temperature I set it too and made fun of them for not being able to handle it. I walk around the house in many layers, a sweatshirt, and slippers. It's crazy!

Hello! I completely understand about being cold. I went through the same thing. I was told that being cold was due to my rapid weight loss and that my internal temper control of sorts was having a hard time regulating itself. It does get better. I used a heating pad or bean bags you heat in the microwave a lot to get me warm when I was do cool that I couldn't get warm.
