For the past 2 years all I have done was gain weight. It seemed no matter how hard I tried I could never lose more than 10 pounds or watch the scale increase. I absolutely hated the scales, and I was becoming one of those people that all I wanted to do was wear sweatpants and basketball shirts with a big baggy sweatshirt to hide it. When in reality that wasn't too flattering either. Through college I was always the girl in jeans no matter what. I loved wearing jeans, but now I despise them. I despised shopping for clothes at all costs, and now I currently only own 2 pairs of jeans and 1 pair of dress pants. I am a teacher and what I teach doesn't always require a pair of dress pants thank god otherwise I'd be up a creek without a paddle. I get to wear my dress pants for one day and 2 days worth of jeans, but it never failed I hated putting them on. I decided I should have become a gym teacher so that I could just stick to my sweats and basketball shorts. That mindset all changed 6 months ago when I found out that my thyroid was underactive, and the number work like golf the higher the number the more underactive your thyroid is. A normal range is 0-5 mine was at a 15, just a little underactive, HA! So made a doctor's appointment and away we went through the procedures of finding out I had a lump on one of my thyroid glads. Back it up for a second as well. Thyroid gland is basically your control box next to your brain. It helps with metabolism mainly,but also lots of other things. One of the things the doc said was if your more irritable boy did my family jump on that one. Apparently I had been a complete female dog the last year and half. Note to self if you are feeling fatigued and cranky that might be a possibility. Coming back to speed the doc put me on medicine, and it takes a month to really notice any changes or to be able to check the level in your blood as well. At that point I was taking pills and then we had to do a biopsy. Which I may note I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HATE NEEDLES!!! So we go into the doc's office to get this bad boy done, and he tells me he has to insert 4 needles into my neck. I bet my eyes were the size of silver dollars, and think I about passed out as well. So I am sitting in this dentist type chair and he "numbs" the area, I use the numb word lightly, and bam without warning stabs me with this needle. I am trying not to move trying not cry doing all I can not to grab this guy by the balls and tell him to give me more pain medicine or he is going to wish he had. Then bam another needle then another, if this is what acupuncture is like bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that crap. When it was all said and done my mother was laughing and holding my hand so I would denut the dr. from being so mean during the process. Got the results back in a week and they couldn't tell if there was cancer. Options were surgery remove and have a wonderful christmas break or Option 2 wait spend more money have this idiot stab me in the neck again as if I was a frog in biology class. MMMMMM surgery means I will be knocked good pain meds welll DING DING DING we have a winner Option 1 it is. Had surgery on December 20th to remove my thyroid came back negative for cancer, WHOOP WHOOP!!! Go back have more blood work done to see my thyroid level now and what the heck its at a freaking 42!!!!!! Apparently we took out the good thyroid. After a month of working out everyday and seeing no change, and then seeing that my other thyroid was being a pussy just ticked me off. Now almost 5 months later with my medications right. I am attacking this fat build up on my body. I have gained 75 pounds in the last year and half, and my goal is to lose all of it. I have lost 15 pounds since March, now I weigh in at 260 pounds. I have 60 more pounds to loose, Now some people might think 200 pounds is still heavy. Well I am 5 foot 11 inches tall and a very broad shoulder young lady. I am just not meant to be 150 pounds, and to be honest if I did weigh that I would look sickly. Besides I can't remember the last time I weighed 150 pounds like middle school probably. I am starting this blog to help me eat better exercise more, and just force myself to wear jeans again. I apologize ahead of time for my randomness, probably some cussing, and anything else I might offend you with, but in all reality I am probably not sorry due to it just being me!!! Here goes the adventure of Fat Farmgirl to Skinny Farmgirl BOOO YA!
