I am 49 years old, and I recently underwent a total thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer. I am married, and my husband & I take care of my 87 year old father. I work full-time outside the home (behind a computer), and have been steadily gaining weight over the last year. I am hopeful that getting my thyroid regulated will help, but until then, I must start being more diligent about what (and how much) I eat. I hope that if I actually keep my food diary daily and weigh in regularly, I can reverse that awful trend. I want to look like a woman again, and right now I look like a basketball.
I am currently wearing size 16 pants, and I want to be back in a 10. I dream of having a waist again. Maybe I can make that dream come true!
