"Ive never felt healthier in my life than I do right now."
How I did it: Found all new doctors and started over. Thyroid problems if monitored properly should only be a 3-6 months thing. Not every month because I feel bad. New doctor has nailed it and my levels have been great for over 3 months.
As far as the OCD, just like I take my medication everyday, I need to take my diet and exercise everyday. You wouldnt stop one, you certainly cant stop all of it. Sure there are days when I cant do yoga, so I meditate instead. There will always be problems, but I have never felt better. Its all about priorities. What is important to me? How I feel everyday was very high on that list.
Lessons & tips: Find doctors that listen to you. I went through 4 psychiatrists before this one. If a doctor is willing to give you med after med after med without looking into solving the problem, thats a red flag. If your doctor isnt willing to discuss diet and exercise, thats a red flag too. People have become so sensitive over this stuff, they refuse to believe smoking, food and no activity could possibly be part of the problem.
Move. Move, move, move. Its scientific that moving helps your body create hormones that make you feel better. Dont believe me, try it. As someone who couldnt get out of bed to someone who walks at a local park, does yoga and is getting back in to society again, it works. I am also off 2 of my medications! And dont forget 50lbs down.
Im saving extra money a month on saved copays, medications and eating less and better.
Resources: My doctors, the ones that finally listen and believe that meds cannot solve everything. Bravery. Its hard to get up and get going, I KNOW this. But once you do you will feel so much better.
Still looking for someone or something to help with cholesterol. All this weight gone, working out and eating better and it STILL hasnt moved more than 3 points...ugh.
