why am i always so cold?

Question

i have heard that really skinny people feel the cold easier but i am not ultra skinny, i am 5.6ft, 11stone and a size 10 sometimes 12uk  so im not skinny skinny just slim... i do have fat on me though. i have had 2 children im 21 years old so im not old and frail. 
i am just always cold. went to the beach the other day to walk the dog, everyone is swimming in the sea in bathing suits etc and there is me walking along in leggings under my jeans a long tshirt and a hoodie and a scarf! and i was still a bit chilly!! i dont understand?? my dad when he comes round to my place he says it is boiling hot around and people often say how warm the weather is but i think it is freezing cold? majority is against me when i think its cold everyone thinks its hot or baking hot so i know im not thinking right, just wondered if there is a reason for this and that i can fix it? i hate the cold!!!!!!! help me please it would be much appreciated!! x

hey, 

so i can only suggest one thing, which would be to get your throids checked.

i dont remember which way it is but if you have a underactive or overactive throyid you will either get cold flushes, or hot flushes..

the throyid is something to do with your throat, but it is very improtant that it is always running right, or medication is needed.

maybe have an appointment with your doctor and then see about having a blood test, this will check your throyids and all of your other levels in your body. 

you could also be low or have too much of a certian vitamin/thing in your body.. so maybe you should just get checked over to be safe.

take care :)

Some of us are just freezy people.  

What you described is life to me.  And might I also mention I really hate people telling me I'm not freezing to death.  

People:  we know when we're cold.  Please do not tell us we're not cold when we are clearly shivering and turning blue.  

I don't know why we're like this.  And it's not a weight issue, I froze when I was super thin, and now I've got a good bit of weight on me and guess what?  Still colder than others think I should be.

The good thing about your own place is you don't have to freeze and wear jackets indoors. 

The only solution I've found is to move somewhere warm.  

Oh, and if you live somewhere damp, that seems to make you colder too.

Your iron level is probally low . I am anemic (dont know if i spelled it right)  and i get very cold when  i dont take my iron vitamens , drink enough water etc    you should go to a heaLth store and get vitamens that have magnesiam, calcium, and iron  or just iron   but first check with a doctor to make sure

quite possibly the problem is physical  and very simple
we are warm blooded  creatures  and  to generate  that warmth  we require energy

energy we generate  by consuming and processing food 

if you don't eat enough or you don't  eat  foods providing enough calories  your body will not be able to keep up with normal  heat loss and you feel cold

this  is exasperated  if  there is less body fat   as in slim people like us
