Reality

Ok so a couple posts ago I posted on my frustration on my weight loss. As I began to research more and more about my thyroid disease I discovered so much that I didn't know. For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism at the age of 5. But they had actually started seeing my symptoms at the age of 3. From there on I saw a Dr every 6 months up at Primary Childrens until I was 18. Now I see a specialist where I live. But since I got this at such a young age I did not know everything about it and what it all entails. As I have discovered more and more its seems like everything I don't like about me..my own flaws are because of this... Go figure. I have dry skin, my feet can be so DRY! I hate it! I get cold easily, and even if I don't seem cold, my skin to touch is freezing. The weight issue of course, and the lack of energy. Sometimes I seem lethargic. All these come from my thyroid problem.. Crazy! But its been very interesting to discover so much and find what I can take or eat to help. Alot of the research still shows that by eating and excersizing a certain way will just maintain my weight..which is frustrating. But what can you do. I'm going to continue to walk and do whatever else I can. Take the tips that I have been given as far as food and work with that. But I think mostly I need to work on my attitude and feelings toward myself and come to accept that I may never lose this weight. To look for all the positive things about me. I know I have always delt with insecurity issues but I'm going to try and improve on that.
