The friends on here that i have knows that I have a thyroid disease called Graves. With thyroid medicine being changed every three months it makes it hard to lose. I have to keep three sizes in my closet. They have suggested radiation but so far i have refused. I decided a month ago to just quit yoyo dieting and think before I eat. For 8instance today i ate a burger but I left off the cheese and mayo and only 1 side of the bun no fires. It takes a little effort cause I have to cook different. So far in these few changes I have managed to lose 13lbs in three weeks. Thyroid problems or not I'm gonna win this.
You are doing great. Keep up the good work.
It shows little changes make a big difference.
My husband is always bringing home food that I don't need. It is so hard to resist once it is in the house.
Have a great week...
