Almost there / Thyroid
It has been quite a year. Between Hurricane Sandy, and my daughter and a few more woes along the way, the 14.5 pounds that I gained are almost all off. With dieting and thyroid medication the weight is coming off now. The good thing is I am back in my clothes, the down side is I will probably be on thyroid medication for the rest of my life. Hypothyroidism is different from hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism with medication can get me into remission. Once there I can stop the medication or wean off of it. For some reason I don’t think that is the case. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Not this time. I think between my age, and other factors, I think thyroid medication is in my future for good. I guess there are worse things in life to to deal with. I have accepted my thyroid problem. I also recognize the fact that when I see the scale go up and down, and other symptoms my thyroid condition is here to stay. Four pounds to goal is better than 14 pounds to goal. I am back in most of my clothes and that feels great. Two more pair of pants to get into. I am almost there. I feel viable to go out and speak again about nutrition. I lived a weight battle all of my life. I think I always will. Stay safe my fans and Bon Appetit.
