I hope your not expecting it to just FALL off!

So the last few weeks have been pretty interesting. My breakup with food has been more difficult than I could imagine. I have been working out everyday and eating rabbit food for a while now and I have not lost any weight! I cried for hours one night because I was so discouraged...and ashamed to write that I had not lost anything. I finally on the urging of my wonderful boyfriend went and saw a general doctor.
   SO after giving large volumes of my blood through what seemed like HUGE needles (let me just say it is very sucky being on the receiving end of a blood draw) I found out that I have autoimmune thyroid disease. Basically my body hates my thyroid and is attacking it. Well isn't that just the icing on the cake. My doctor said that it would not have mattered how hard I worked out for the past month or so...I would not have lost anything because I basically have ZERO metabolism..she said she was surprised I was not so much bigger.
   So I am wondering what would have happened if I never worked out...ekk that is a scary thought...So she put me on something called Synthroid for my thyroid...hopefully this will help my metabolism speed up! I asked her if I would start loosing weight ...she gave me this weird look and said 'YOU DON'T EXPECT IT TO FALL OFF DO YOU?!" well yes actually I was...kind of hoping for that. She also found a single little nodule hanging out on the Right side of my Thyroid gland...he is just chilling out...she is not to concerned with it...I have to get an ultrasound every 6 months and get my blood work done to make sure the nodule isn't changing and to make sure my body is not trying to kill off my thryoid completely. I have also decided to go see a Holistic Dr. who specializes in womens hormones and see if he can help me..
    So basically I am having to start all over...and breaking up with food from the start again. I think this time it will be easier...I am better and more emotionally prepared! Wish me and my crappy thyroid luck!
Until next time
Peace out little debbies!
