eat a lot!!! especially carbs, like in breads. dont eat all junk food though, because that is bad for you if you eat to much. try to have over 2000 calories a day

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/F3gaf
Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).
1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.
2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

I wish I had that problem....... Girl you're lucky hear, go wild, eat that ice cream, the chocolate cake, the doughnuts the candy, drink the pop and booze...go nuts!
Eat lots of complex and simple carbs, that'll help with your weight.

Have you had your thyroid tested. It sounds like you may have an overactive thyroid.
