I got on the scale today. It is my four month anniversary with this way of life and my journey with Dr. Jack. I looked, blinked, got off, got back on. I couldn’t believe it so I walked around and got back on again. 60.6 pounds….gone…..thyroid symptoms…..gone…
I got off and went back to my bedroom and sat down. I unashamedly admit, tears came to my eyes. Where would I be today if I had never done this! What if I had believed all the negative stuff people had told me? I followed the voice in my heart that said I should go for it and four months later here I am !
And then I had a thought…. If this is four months, where will I be in six months?? More tears jumped into my eyes. I can hardly even imagine how wonderful it will be.
I can’t believe after everything I told that poor man, he still took me as a patient. He has given me so much that I can never repay him. How do you thank him for saving you from the years of torture I would be going through as my symptoms got worse. I was so frightened to believe him in the beginning.
Little be little he has changed me. When you have Hashimoto’s your thought process is different. It’s really hard to focus. tasks have to be broken into chunks. But today, I can finish all kinds of things with no break. I move easier. I can do all kinds of physical things with ease. But inside me has changed, too.
I am more courageous, more willing to speak my mind. I no longer hide in the shadows. And if all those things changed in such a short time…..what else will? I better check that scale one more time….yup! 60.6….
Today is such a good day!
