Ok, I didn't realize I was suppose to put something about myself. Ok here it goes. About three or four years ago I hit one of my highest weights I have ever been. I was at 174lbs. I am 38, 5'4 and have three kids. So, at 174lbs, I was bigger than when I was pregnant. I couldn't breath well, hated to get up and move. Life sucked. So, I started dieting and after a year lost about 40lbs. Then shortly after that I started gaining weight again for no real reason. Got back up to 150lbs. Hadn't change my habits. So, I started walking (bought a treadmill) and was starving myself. I wasn't going to gain back what I worked so hard to lose. I was still gaining weight and thought what the heck. I also had some other issues going on at the time. Being tired, cramps, etc. So, I went to the doctor- my husband made me, lol. Found out, my thyroid no longer worked and my cholesterol was through the roof. I think it was at 318- which is bad, bad. They put on meds. for the thyroid and got it back to normal. I lost 10lbs just starting the thyroid meds. without even dieting. Then they put me on cholesterol meds. and I had a bad reaction to that. So, I convinced my doctor to let me try to get it down by dieting and exercising and it worked. I have it at about 200 now- still could be better, but at least no meds. I picked up my walking more. I walk now about 20 miles a week and I don't really diet. I just don't eat anything that will make my cholesterol high. Which is all the good stuff people eat. So, now I am at 127lbs - the lowest I have been in 11yrs. and lovin it. That's my story and here's my diary. I hated starting it on a holiday. I am always bad on holidays. 
3/23/08- Easter
Breakfast -nothing-slept in
Lunch- two pieces baked chicken, cheesy potatoes, stuffing, broccoli casserole, bread & butter. Cake for dessert. - Oh yea, bad bad, I had two deviled eggs- not good for my cholesterol.
Supper- Not even hungry, but promised mother in law to stop for leftovers- pretty much the same as lunch, just not as much and skipped dessert.
Walked 5 miles on the treadmill/ 128lbs- don't normally weigh each day, but am real excited about the new all time lows.
3/24/08- Breakfast- not hungry-because of so much yesterday
Lunch- huge salad (tuna, lettuce, carrots, almonds, bacon bits, tomatoes, crackers, diet cheese) and 1/2 cup canned peas
Supper- didn't really have supper. I snacked all night.- two pieces of lunch ham, 4 or 5 animal crackers, small hand ful of chips with fat free dip, lowfat jello with fruit, 1/4 bag of cholesterol free popcorn.
Oh yea, I drink a ton of tea through out the day and a few cans of diet soda.
Haven't walked today yet, but will be probably 5 mils. (starting a new plan). I usually walk about 20 miles a week- but I am trying to lesson the days and walk more each time. I know that seems like alot but it's due to my cholesterol- which is high.
Weigh in today was 127lbs an all time low for me. Haven't been this thin for at least 11yrs. Celebrated by going and buying new sweat pants (which I will hide from my teen daughters who keep stealing my cloths).

| Hey coach, nothing to be jelouse of. Getting to this point was hard and not aways fun and has brought up alot of family issues. But, all in all, well worth it. Oh yea, don't base any plans on how I eat. You will find after losing weight, your diet changes and you can have more than you did when you started. Plus, sometimes I am really bad and thats why I started posting to keep on track... I will be checking on yours also and giving any tips I think will help you out. The eating on the run has got to be the hardest thing ever and I hope other can help you with that. I am still not very good at it myself. That and holiday meals. Otherwise, I am pretty good. Hope to talk to you more later on...bye cindy

Hi cpw -
And, well done on losing the weight. Your walking routine sounds good - keep it up!
Do you listen to music when on the treadmill? I use my MP3 player to revise my spoken Portuguese when I exercise on my Nordic Ski machine. Mostly though, I just walk, play tennis and do weights.
One thing you might like to try is a few basic upper body routines to ensure that your arms, shoulders and back stay in shape. Walking is mainly good for the legs and lungs.
Also, rather than just your weight, check out a skinfold calliper and monitor your body fat.
I have come to think that it's the single most important thing to know about staying in shape.
Good luck with keeping it off this time...

| Yea, I have been trying to work ab exercises into my routine. I have allot of flab from losing weight and would Love to get rid of it. My arms and upper area aren't bad, manley just my middle section. That has always been a problem for me my whole life. I am hoping once spring gets here that I can do some other things. Like riding bike, swimming in the summer, etc. So, that should help also. I am also trying to work on my snacking habits. I am horrible about not eating meals and snacking all the time. I don't know if that is good or bad, but I would think sensible meals would be better for me. I don't think I will have two many problems keeping it off. I have been down in my weight for about three yrs or more now. Plus the meds. for my thyroid make it hard for me to gain weight. Not exactly sure, would have to look at the calendar. I want to forcus more on being healthy and toning now. Thanks for the reply...

Ok, my plan for today is to eat good, and do ab exercises at break time. So, for breakfast, I will have cheerios with ground flax-seed and skim milk. Lunch- I am shooting for lentil soup- that I made and is yummy. Just can't over do it. Supper- I think I will have a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread. I hate eating before walking. So maybe after or I will skip the bread and have tuna with some crackers and carrot sticks. A little less filling.
I will post back tonight to see how well I did...

Well, yesterday went ok. I stuck to the plan for the most part. I had the cheerios for breakfast, lentil soup with about 1/2 pkg of saltines for lunch. Then I fell apart. I snack on ham slices (lunch meat). Had like 4 or 5 pieces of thoses. I didn't eat supper and had a few beers with the hubby. I know thats bad...but can't always be a saint.
I didn't walk...cause I am trying to walk more when I do and do it less days.....It was weird not walking last night. But, nice to spend time with my husband. Plus, I already have 10 miles in for this week. I did do crunches at break-time. I did a set of 20 in a row. Then two sets of 10. I know....I am wimpy.....but it about killed me. Then I took a 20min. power nap and all was good. I am going to try and do crunches everyday. I can't wait to see if it helps my flabby belly.
My weigh in this morning was 131lbs  Easter dinner finally caught up with me. I knew it would show up sooner or later. But, hopefully I will go back down since I have been really good about my eating the last two days.
Other things- went through my shorts and I only have one pair that fit. I love losing weight, but really hate the cloths issue all the time. Oh well, maybe I can find some at st. vinneys this friday. Or maybe I should wait until closer to summer before getting some. Whatever... gives me a headache
Plan for today is to stick with my diet and quit snacking on that ham. I already had my cheerios and haven't decided what to make for lunch. I will probably make chicken for the family and have a tuna sandwich for myself. Will update again tomorrow....

Well, didn't do to bad today.
Breakfast-cheerios with flaxseed and skim milk
Lunch- chicken, potatoes, four small buttermilk biscuits and fruit coctail drained.
Supper- tuna salad with fat free mayo, saltines
Snack on two peices of ham today.
Didn't do crunches, cause I had a busy afternoon and didn't really have time. State licenser stop by and then I had to go to the doctor. So, just didn't get it done and I feel really guilty about it. I did walk 5 miles tonight and was going to do crunches after. But, I am to pooped to pop.
I don't weigh in until friday morning
I think tomorrow I will have a turkey burger. I am dieing for something close to a hamburger. I also need to cut back on the cheerios in the morning. Instead of two huge bowls, I need to do one little bowl.
Will post again tomorrow night.

Well, yesterday was ok. I could of done better I suppose.
Breakfast- nothing, wasn't hungry
Lunch- turkey burger with one slice of whole wheat bread, one small helping of mac and cheese (I actually just kept taking bites while I was mixing it up), 1 1/2 hashbrown patties-did not need those, but they are so good, and I always baked never fry them
Supper- turkey burger with one slice of whole wheat bread, and a lettuce salad.
Snacks- I did bad with snacking today. I had three of those mini snickers bars, a handful of chips with non fat dip, two slice of my stupid ham, that I can't seem to give up. Oh yea, and a handful of walnuts (finally got some at the store and I am currently hiding them from my husband). The snickers are gone, my husband bought them and I told him to get rid of them, take them to the garage I didn't care, just to get them out of my site. The chips I didn't think were to bad. I never get out of control with them. I always have a few and put them away. Oh yea, I wanted to add, I have not had any candy in months, not that it makes it ok, but, pretty good for me.
I walked 5 miles - That did not go well. I am thinking about going back to my old routine. That extra mile is killing me. I didn't feel well last night and then I had to walk, it all just sucked.
Personal note: don't eat bacon bits anymore- they don't agree with me/and I am going to call the doctor if this medicine keeps making me sick to my stomach.
weigh in today was 128lbs - almost back to normal after easter
I did do my crunches at break time. I did two sets of 20, and then another 10. So, I did 50 crunches. And yes, I felt it all night.
Goals for today- to eat my breakfast so I don't snack in the afternoon, For lunch I can't decide. I haven't had any red meat in awhile. So maybe I will have a taco salad for lunch. I have been graving salsa the last couple of days. Or maybe, My sister gave me a recipe for taco soup. Maybe I will try that. I will probably skip supper and snack on carrots, walnuts and stuff when watching the badgers tonight.
Saturday will be tough, I have to remember to take a sandwich and snacks with me to the bball tournament. Also, got to that on Sunday at the gymnastics meet. It will be hard to stay away from all the snack counters this weekend.

Cindy,
Thanks for stopping by again and writing in my journal...your support is appreciated. I laughed when I read about your 17 yr old and how she eats anything. Typical teenager. They drink as bad as they eat with all the coffee drinks, soda, and energy drinks. I am surprised how any of them sleep with all the caffeine in their systems. After reading your post today though, I do have to tell you as I tell all my students all the time that you really need to eat breakfast...it kick starts your metabolism so try eat something even if you are not hungry. I went years without breakfast and it really helped me when I started to eat it regular. Just a thought as I am very far from perfect myself. It is funny reading through your diary as I have many of the exact same thoughts daily. Must be from being around the teenagers  ... Take care and thanks again for all the support. Coach

Ok, for Breakfast I had my bowl of cheerios with some ground flaxseed and I threw some oatmeal on top. Was pretty good. 
Lunch- I had a lettuce salad with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, almonds, croutons and low fat dressing and a tuna sandwich with no fat mayo. on whole wheat bread. Boy, I have been on a tuna kick this week. I've been lazy, not wanting to cook.
Supper- didn't really have a supper, just snacked the rest of the day.
I had only one piece of my ham (that I always have), a couple of animal crackers, three handfuls of pretzels, and this one is bad - corn chips with salsa, cheese, refried beans. I was doing good until the chip thing. But, in my own defense, my in-laws were over and without a can of family tolerance I gave into the craving. I will do better tomorrow, unless of course they come to my sons game.
I did however walk tonight- I wasn't going to- but since the in-laws were over I needed to escape and walking was a good excuse. So, I walk two miles with a grand total of 22 miles for this week. I also did 60 crunches and a few other ab exercises. It wasn't that bad today. I must be getting use to them.
weigh in today was- 128lbs- I know I weigh in allot. usually every other day, unless something comes up or I am depressed or something.
Goals for tomorrow-not to snack myself to death at the bball tournament. And to relax and have a good day off. Maybe go to the movies later that night. If I am good at the tournament maybe me and my husband can go out to eat. I have been dieing for a good taco salad that I don't have to make.
Will update again- tomorrow night... Good night all...

It's way to early to be alive. But, have to be somewhere soon. Anyway, I wanted write down yesterdays before I decided to lie about it. I was really bad.
Breakfast - none, didn't have time
Lunch- taco salad
snack- pretzels with refried bean dip, popcorn, m&m's - didn't eat them all
Supper- batter fish, french fries, 1/2 a biscuit, coleslaw, choc sunda
My weekend has really sucked, I guess this is my way of dealing with it. But, I promised myself to do better today, regardless of how bad of a day it is.
Didn't exercise today-was gone all day and night
Haven't weighed in yet- don't even want to- today won't show up yet, but it will sooner or later.

Ok, today was my worse ever. MacDonald twice in one day....god when will I learn.
Breakfast- sausage mcmuffin, hash brown, cinabon
Lunch- quarter pounder with cheese, fries, diet pop
snack- choc shake
It don't get much worse than that. So I am off to the treadmill to do damage control.
weigh in today was 129lbs
Hate to see what it will be in a couple of days after the trips to mickey d's. At least today went better than yesterday, haven't been depressed all day and life is great. So, even though I screwed up, I know I can jump back and get on track.

Monday----
breakfast - didn't really eat breakfast, was probably still full from all the #%@&! I ate this weekend.
Lunch- cod fillet on a bun with a slice of cheese and fat free tarter sauce, baked french fries, and pears
snacks for the day- two slices of ham, a handful of crunch berrie cereal, 5 or 6 bites of leftover taco salad, it was gross, so I tossed it.
Supper- one piece of left over fish and a handful of walnuts.
Didn't do crunches- I always find a way to get out of thoses.
I walked 4mils last night and four mils tonight
weigh in was 128lbs
All in all...not good...not bad...
I have never been this regular in my weight....I always go up and down. For the last two or three months I have been around the same.

Goals for today- to eat fish again and do my crunches no mater how much I don't want to. I need to get better about breakfast. I haven't been eating breakfast as much as I should be.
Someone else suggested that I write down why I am eating, since I have a tendency to eat when I am not hungry. I eat when I am stressed and whatnot. So, will try to leave feedback on why I eat certain things. Should be interesting to see if there are any patterns.
Will update tonight...

Tuesday-
Breakfast- bowl of cheerios with flaxseed and fat free milk
Lunch- spaghetti, two slices of garlic bread, lettuce salad
snacks- three or four slices of ham, 1/4 cup bottom of the bag potato chips, two or three leftover cold french fries- I know I am pathetic. oh yea, after walking I had a ice cream cup, I was proud of myself for stopping after just one. Ice cream is one of my down falls.
I walked 4mils, didn't do crunches
Didn't eat for stress today, did eat for taste, I should of stop with the spaghetti when I was full. But, of course I had a little bit more.
All in all, it was a good day, work was stressful today, but otherwise all was well. Even though I didn't eat any supper, I still feel bloated from lunch. I think cause I don't usually eat alot of carbs. So, the spaghetti is really filling me up.
Tomorrow, I will weigh in, not looking forward to it. I am thinking my weekend of bad eating will show its ugly head.

Wednesday-
weigh in- 128lbs - this is good, my terrible eating from the weekend has been held off. Hope it don't show tomorrow. I don't think it will, I think I am safe now. But, must do better on the weekends.
Breakfast- snacked on pretzels all morning-very tired today...
Lunch- veggie/noodle stuff in a cheesy sauce, started to eat a cod sandwich, but I was out of tarter sauce and use mayo and out of cheese slices so used cheddar, needless to say, it didn't taste good. So two bites and it went in the garbage. So, I had two chicken nuggets that were leftover from the kiddies lunch.
snacks- grapes and a banana
Supper- brat and bun, chips, peanuts, and fruit pizza- way to much fruit pizza... no alcohol, but had tea and diet soda.
I gave myself the night off, since we had a party to go to. I ate and was merry. I didn't gorge myself, but ate to many pieces of the fruit pizza.
Didn't walk since we weren't home, but I have 12 miles in for the week and shouldn't have much trouble getting to 20miles by friday night.

Happens to me every time I eat high carb/processed foods by themselves.........or if I don't include protein as part of every meal. Blood sugar drops quickly after starchy carbs, and then I get cravings and seem to munch all day

Your probably right.... I usually eat breakfast, but had alot of paper work to do this morning and it was easier working on it with pretzel rather than cereal. And as the day has moved on...yes...I have been a snacking machine today....lol
I should know better...

Thurs.
Breakfast- cheerios with fat free milk and flaxseed
Lunch- meatless enchiladas, peas, carrot sticks
snacks- for pieces of ham slices and a slice of cheese
Supper- two pieces of frozen pizza- didn't need that
exercise- 4mils, 60 crunches and some leg lifts.
I ate way to much for lunch...but I love enchiladas and I sure didn't need the fating pizza after that. I think I am focusing to much on what I eat. I need to do some other things and get out of the house..... It seems like the more I think about what I am eating and dieting the worse I do. So, I am going to lay off and focus on some other things for awhile.
Will update again tomorrow... weigh in tomorrow will definitely show all my bad habits over the last few days.

Thursday- Today really sucks!!!! Trying to be good so I don't gain anymore....is not working for me. I think I am freaking out about the two pounds and now, I can't stop eating. aggghhhhhh!!!! So, fricking mad at myself.
Breakfast- two turkey slices
Lunch- cod fish on a bun with a slice of cheese and fat free tarter sauce, a little bit of mixed veggies (they were doing nothing for me), had some grapes, cucumbers with low fat dressing.
Snacks- pretzel and cheese, a few diet chips, two mandarin oranges, two pieces of cheese from meisters
I think my problem is the snacking thing.... I have got two quit with the cheese products and start eating healthier snacks. I need to get back to breakfast in the morning to make sure I don't snack in the afternoon. I was still hungry after lunch- which doesn't happen when I eat breakfast.
exercise was almost 4mils before the electricity went out. So, I will do two more laps tomorrow just to make sure. Never did my crunches~imagine that
no weigh in today- thank god- I don't think I can deal with it. Not looking forward to tomorrow. But, who knows, when I weigh so often, it goes up and down like crazy. I was really dissapointed last weigh in. I kept the two pounds off for at least four or five days. Then it comes back.....ugh!
Tonight I went two the store and bought, cheerie tomatoes, broccoli, green peppers, onions, potatoes, and oranges. So, now I have the tools, just got to use them.

Friday-
Wow, weigh in today was 125lbs. I must be weighing myself to often. Maybe I should only weigh in on fridays. I am afraid that if I do that, then I won't stay forcused. Cause, after I seen the two pound gain then I really tried hard and it paid off. But, If I hadn't of seen that gain, I might not of worked so hard.
Don't know...I will have to think on that for awhile.

Friday-
breakfast- cheerios with 2% milk and flaxseed
Snack- two slices of ham
Lunch- 1 piece of pizza, and baked beans, five or so bites of tator tot casserole(promised hubby this- so had to make it)
Snacks- two madarian oranges, two ricekripies treats, and one of the peanut butter kind with choclate on top(that was bad).
It was a good day until I made the rice kripies treats, but I promised my kids. If I didn't ever have to cook, I would do good. I am one of those who can't cook without tasting it.
exercise- walked 4 mils plus extra two laps for when the electicity went out the night before.
I already posted the weigh in for today. It was 125lbs

I did stay out of the icecream cups and the rice krispies treats are gone....So, I was good about the sweets today. Just not anything else.
Walk outside 4mils. Our town is so small, I walked from one end to the other twice.
I haven't weighed in for awhile, so I will see where I am at this morning. I hope I didn't gain to much from sunday.

Tuesday
handful of pretzels, two slices of ham, two whole graham crackers
big sandwich with ham and turkey, cheese, fat free mayo, 1 cup mac and cheese
another handful of pretzels
Already walked this afternoon for about 2mils
weigh in was 125.00 not that far from 124....want to get there before friday.
will update again tonight or morning
Alright, I fell apart in the afternoon. After I walked in the afternoon, I had two icecream cups. Couldn't help myself.
Oh yea, I forgot, If I have another lose this week, I get oreos....yeah
I did however walk a little over three miles last night - must of felt guilty about the icecream
Then after that, I made brownies for the family. I didn't eat any, but did lick the spoon and stuff when making them. I will struggle staying out of those today. Plus, I have a bunch of frosting left, so I will probably make cup cakes or something else, today. If only I didn't have to cook.... I would do so good. Oh well, it will be a test of my will power. Besides, one brownie won't make or break me.

Friday
The last couple of days have been busy, so I haven't had time to post. I can sure tell that I have not been focusing on my diet. I have gained two pounds back and want to get back on track. So, forget about my daughters grad. and everything else and focus, focus, focus.
This morning I snacked on chips and cheese. Then a couple of brownies. Then to make matters worse. I had two steaks and mac and cheese for lunch. I went off the deep end today. Yesterday wasn't much better.
So, I need to get back on track and stop eating #%@&!.
Exercise this week has been great. I walked three miles last night. So that brings me to a total of 21 mils for the week, unless I walk some more today and tomorrow.
weigh in was 126lbs this morning

Sat.
Today really sucked. I got up, cleaned up, ate a salad and out the door to a gymnastic meet. I then ate a walking taco and a choclate bar at the meet. Then we went out to pizza hut after the meet. So, I ate two pieces of pizza and two bread sticks. I am so bloated and miserable.
Last night I didn't walk cause I already have my miles in for the week. But, I did wrestle around with my son who is 13 and almost out weighs me. Needless to say, I am so sore today. I can't hardly move my arms, not to mention the bruises I have. lol, I guess I need to face the facts, that all of my kids now could hurt me, if they wanted to.
Goals for tomorrow are to walk, walk and do more walking. It's suppose to be nice out, so I am going to try and take advantage of it and walk my brains out. Besides, the more I do tomorrow the better. Got to try and do some damage control for all the pizza I ate today. I think it will be nice on Monday also, so I can get allot of miles in the next few days.
Oh yea, almost forgot. My daughter had a excellent meet. She took first in three out of four events and took first in all around at the aau state meet. It's her last meet, since she is graduating, so that was a nice finish to a life long sport.
will update tomorrow sometime.

What are all the diet things? Is that just another way of saying like low-fat or fat-free chips/cookies, etc? I just started biking myself now that the weather is nice, doesn't it feel more like fun than exercise?! Keep it up :)

There lowfat and low cal plus they are cholesterol free. I got them at aldis, its call fit n active. They have a whole line of stuff. I like the granola bars, the popcorn is ok, the cookie are alright. Nothing like the real stuff.
Yea, riding bike is fun. But, my hubby likes to go slow. I like to power ride. So, I may do some biking on my own also. We go up north every year, and they have trails up there. Last time we went I about died. I want to do better this year. I did really good the first year we did it. But, I rode my bike alot before we went.
Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't been the best lately with gaining some weight back. But, I am determined to get it back off this week.

Tues- I was really bad today. I ate alot of frozen pizza. Had some for breakfast, lunch and supper. lol I know it's not funny and I will pay for it. I can't believe I just binge like that. And if that wasn't bad enough. I snack on other stuff all day also.
Theres been alot stress at my house the last few days, due to my teenagers. And since I am a stress eater, I am sure thats why I was pigging all day.
I did do good on my exercising though. I walked 4mils and then went for a power ride on my bike. I didn't ride far, but I pedal the whole time. It felt great...
Weds- today is a new day and I am going to try to be good today. I weighed in this morning and I was 125Lbs. I know if I am not good today, the pizza I ate yesterday will show in a few days. Aggghhhh, why did I have to do that.
I think with adding the bike to my routine, it is making me want to eat more. I need to make better food choices if that is the case.

We go up north every year, and they have trails up there. Last time we went I about died. I want to do better this year.
Cool! I have the same goal with the biking thing. I think I have a lot of shaping up to do first though because the park I've set my goal on is has a really hilly terrain - it's almost intimidating! I like this idea though, having a goal to work towards... whether it be a biking trip, running a marathon, or lifting that one really heavy weight that never used to budge when you tried. I think it makes people all the more motivated to work hard

Oh, I agree. I think if I can ride those trails without dieing, I would be so proud of myself. Not to mention how my husband would feel. He loves doing that and last year, I shut him down. We didn't ride very far or long, and he was disappointed.
Some of the trails up there are really hilly, and others aren't. So, we'll have to see what in store for this year.
The first year we did it. I did good and loved it. But, I rode my bike every night for two months before we went. It was great. I started out slow and thought, oh god, I am not going to be able to do this. But, I did and it got easier after awhile.
The funny part about it all is that the year I did really good, was when I was still very heavy. The next year, I lost the weight and I guess I thought I didn't need to condition. Ha, I was in worse shape then before.
So, this year the goal is to be skinny and in shape. And of course ride those trails.

Thurs.- Not a good day, I ate and ate and ate.
cheerios with flaxseed and non fat milk
reduced fat chips with refried beans- not alot
4 or 5 of those creamed filled cookies
tuna patty- made with saltines and egg white
baked french fries
a couple pieces of lunch meat
frosted flakes with non fat milk
I just couldn't stop eating today, I don't know what my problem is. I think since it's raining and can't get outside is maybe why. I don't think anything I ate was that bad besides the cookies.
Going to try and do better today.
exercise was not great, I only walked two miles
I will edit later with weigh in
ok, weigh in was 129lbs
I must be doing alot of the water weight thing, cause I keep having huge gains and lose over the last few weeks. I am going to weigh again on Sunday or Monday and see if it goes down, before I panic. I do need to quit the stupid eating habits like the pizza the other day, cookies, and then this morning, I already had sausage for breakfast. Going to have to be real good the rest of the day.
Maybe I am eating more cause of the extra bike riding. I don't know.....it's all so frustrating.

Just wanted to say Hi, since I see your replies on my diary and other posts. I read quickly thru your diary and see many similar traits. Youre doing GREAT! It is hard, very hard and youre getting thru it!
Hope your day goes good, Heres a pat on the back (close) Im glad you decided to take control of your body instead of it controlling you. I wonder, in the past I had a problem with low thyroid and took meds. One day I just got tired of taking meds such as the thyroid and the prozac(prescribed for PMS) and just stopped. I felt fine and just never got back on them. Ive had a few thyroid tests after that and they all come up OK? marginal? I feel the symptoms many times but the doctor says I dont need meds.
Can your thyroid get better by itself? I feel that sort of wierd feeling in my throat, kinda where an adams apple would be, and my skin sometimes gets sooooo dry.
Just thinking out loud.
Again talk to you soon, enjoy and to quote Adam Sandler " YOU CAN DO IT, NICKEY! "
