Picture on the left is from two years ago at my heaviest and picture on the right is from the other day. My freshman year of college I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid which meant that my hormones and metabolism were not working properly. Because of this my anxiety and depression were out of control, I suffered from insomnia and eventually was so tired constantly which resulted in me sleeping any chance I had. I gained 50 pounds and tried so many different diets and work out routines to try to lose the weight but I would just continue to gain more weight. It was super frustrating and I was losing hope. Almost two years ago it was decided for me to have my thyroid removed and to be put on medication that I am going to have to take for the rest of my life to replace what a thyroid does naturally for ones body. Last summer (a year after my surgery) I started to finally lose the weight I gained and was starting to feel more like myself. I’ve lost half of the weight that I gained and I have so much motivation to lose the remaining weight. For those who have known me know that I’ve been struggling with this for such a long time and how frustrating and exhausting this entire process has been. No, I’m not a skinny girl, but I’m starting to feel like myself again and I’m feeling healthier than I have in about five years. I can’t wait until I reach my weight loss goal to prove to myself that I can do this and I can feel beautiful. I still have off days, but it feels good to feel more comfortable in my skin again.
