Just getting that diagnosis was incredibly difficult, too.
It took ages to figure out what was wrong with me.
I was on that medication through my adolescent years, though the dosage changed often.
On the other hand, soy and other foods that have goitrogens can do the opposite.)
Through high school, eating poorly caused me to gain weight-and fast.
I wasn’t conscious at all about what I was putting in my body.
By the time I was into my early 20’s, I wasn’t in a good place.
I didn’t feel confident.
I didn’t feel healthy.
I had tried every fad diet under the sun and my weight just wouldn’t budge.
I failed at all of them.
Or, rather, they failed me.
That was my crutch.
Rather than cutting out unhealthy foods, I started introducing better, healthier options.
But I also knew that cutting out carbs wasn’t for me.
I also learned that dairy can have the same inflammatory effect.
Within six months of making these changes,I lost a total of 45 pounds.
After transforming my diet, though, I committed to moving my body for just 10 minutes a day.
It was manageable, and I figured if I could do that, I could eventually do more.
For people who don’t have time or struggle with energy, keeping it simple is the key.
But through the years, I’ve learned to really respect and understand my body.
And ever time, I feel better for it.
Setting realistic, manageable goals will promise you success in the long run.
