Am I CRAZY?

There was a day, or should I say..a couple of years, where I felt like I was going Crazy! I was emotional, I could laugh and cry in the same breath, I put weight on and if I was not depressed due to Hormones, I was depressed because I was "FAT!"
And then realized that I was Hypo-Thyroid! Ok! Now what??? I did my homework, got educated and went after it.. I got off the Synthetic Thyroid(on it for only 2 years) and back onto the Natural Thyroid.. I learned that when you do not have a Thyroid, the Synthetic did not work...and it didn't. I also incorporated an smart and aggressive Nutrition program..I found a supplement that works! With the correct Thyroid medication, Supplements and education, I found the solution and got results.

I had Thyroid Cancer at 23 years old, was on Natural for 19 years, the doctors put me on a Synthetic which threw me into Hypothyroid, and leveled out again when I went back on the Natural form of Thyroid. It has now been 33 years after cancer...

Hypothyroidism

When the thyroid gland is under-active, improperly formed at birth, surgically removed all or in part, or becomes incapable of producing enough thyroid hormone, a person is said to be hypothyroid. One of the most common causes of hypothyroidism is the autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's disease, in which antibodies gradually target the thyroid and destroy its ability to produce thyroid hormone.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism
usually go along with a slowdown in metabolism, and can include fatigue, weight gain, and depression, among others.

* The Hypothyroidism Risks/Symptoms Checklist reviews the key symptoms.
* Quiz: Could You Be Hypothyroid? is a self-test to help you identify risks and symptoms.

I am glad to say, I lost the weight, leveled out my hormones and got back to my normal active lifestyle 12 years ago..... Thankfully!

My message? When one behaves like they are Crazy, they just might be Hormonal...There are things you can do and you can go back to living a normal life. Please feel free to post any questions.

Here is to being level....

Fear NOT Weight Loss!

The Obesity Epidemic

More than one third of U.S. adults—more than 72 million people—and 16% of U.S. children are obese. Since 1980, obesity rates for adults have doubled and rates for children have tripled. Obesity rates among all groups in society—irrespective of age, sex, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education level, or geographic region—have increased markedly.

Health Consequences of Obesity

Obesity has physical, psychological, and social consequences in adults and children. Children and adolescents are developing obesity-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, that were once seen only in adults. Obese children are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and abnormal glucose tolerance. One study of 5- to 17-year-olds found that 70% of obese children had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease and 39% of obese children had at least two risk factors.

Obesity is Costly

• In 2000, obesity-related health care costs totaled an estimated $117 billion.

• Between 1987 and 2001, diseases associated with obesity account for 27% of the increases in medical costs.

• Medical expenditures for obese workers, depending on severity of obesity and sex, are between 29%–117% greater than expenditures for workers with normal weight.

• From 1979–1981 to 1997–1999, annual hospital costs related to obesity among children and adolescents increased, rising from $35 million to $127 million.

These Statistics are startling... But there is good news...We can reverse these statistics.
