Embarrassed
Ever sincre I posted that picture of me with a puffy face, I have been really embarrassed that anyone is seeing me like that. I am trying to focus on the fact that I do not look like that anymore, and have been slowly losing weight over the past few months.
To be honest, though, I have not been impressed with my metabolism since starting Synthroid, and sadly, after doing a lot of research - I am by far not the only woman who has been having trouble losing weight with it. I am crossing my fingers in hope that I will be one of the few women who are able to lose weight with it. We will see. Until then, I am continuing to strive to work out for 60 minutes five times a week and sticking to my strict anti-inflammatory diet. I have slowly been adopting to it and definitely feel better.
I purchased all of the supplements my doctor recommended and am now taking around 20 pills a day!
1. One Synthroid Tablet
2. Five Fish Oil Tablets
3. Five Ayurvedic Boswellian Tablets
4. Six Botanical Treasures Supplements
5. 3 Magnesium Stearate Tablets
6. One Multi-vitamin
That is 21 pills total!!!
I was just looking up one of my placements in my Natal Chart and was looking at Chiron in Aries in the Sixth house. Apparently, health issues is a big thing for me in this lifetime. I am also positioned to become a healer to others who suffer from the same issues as me. The only way I can make sense of this happening to me is to believe that it is for a reason, and that I am evolving to eat a very healthy diet. Really, I have no choice or I am going to just keep getting worse.
One of the most difficult things for me to deal with is the idea that I have gotten a disease which basically shuts down my metabolism. That is in a lot of ways my worst fear come true. I have always been obsessive about my weight and have stuggled with eating disorders for most of my life. The idea of living my life continually gaining weight with no way of losing it no matter how much I diet or exercise is uncomprehensible to me. To be honest I would rather not live at all of I were to have to live like that.
