I went to the doctor’s today. To ask about a Thyroid test. And I broke down crying in the office.
So embarrassing. I’m just SO tired ALL the time, and SO sick of not being able to loose this weight.
We checked my records: I was 150 back in January, I’m still 150 now. 2 years ago, I was 130.
I’m getting a full work up...(my last blood tests were in 2003)
On a happy note...it was my 3rd son’s High School Commencement tonight.
Proud Momma Moment!!

Aww! I know exactly how you feel!
I hope it's NOT your thyroid. They finally removed mine. Sometimes, I wish I hadn't let them. Thyroid issues suck for sure! It's harder to lose when you have thyroid issues, but not impossible. It just takes time for your body to become accustomed to good food and make the changes. I honestly believe my weight loss is slower because of this, but I'm a rebel and won't accept that it can't be done!

It's been about a month since I've been Primal. While my weight hasn't budged, a few things have changed:
My hayfever is almost non-existent!
The small pimply rash on my arms is going away!
I've had both of these things FOREVER :)
AND
I’ve lost ˝" off my ribcage and ˝" off my right THIGH!!!! I can only assume that it’s the same for my left :)
The thigh measurement is making me feel a little better :)
I'm gonna stick around for another month :)
I took a picture of myself today, but I don't think I'm brave enough to post it...

Winencandy-
Thyroid issues blow asscrackers, but you have a fine network of support on the boards and a huge wealth of information. I hope you don't actually have a thyroid problem, though.

Today I went for my blood work – 6 vials – that should cover most things. More tests next week.
Tonight I went to the Commencement ceremony at the school I taught at for the past two years. This is the same school that I didn’t get the job at this September (the same job I’d done for the past 2 years). I almost didn’t go. I was halfway there and I stopped the car and almost turned around. It was the first time I’d been back in the school since I was the “unsuccessful candidate”. I got there a ˝ hour before it started and saw the students and teachers I wanted to see. I smiled and said “Hi” to the principal (who didn’t hire me). Everyone was nice. I stayed for the processional and the first 15 minutes, and then I left.
I made it to the car before I started crying.
This was very hard for me to do, but I saw it as an important first step.
