It was just as I had expected. I gained weight after one month of treatment for my thyroid condition (plus there's the fact that my diet police unfollowed me on Twitter *sniff*). My doctor told me to expect the weight gain but I didn’t think it would be this bad. I had a feeling during the week that I had gained weight but never went on the scale (because that would just be depressing) – I think the fact that my skinny jeans didn’t fit anymore was enough proof of that.
I’m supposed to take my meds for four more months. If I don’t take extra precautions I could balloon even more by December. I don’t want that. I was on my way to losing the extra weight when I was diagnosed with my thyroid problem and now I'm gaining the weight back. That's not good. I know my metabolism is bad as it is so I need to help push it further along in the right direction.
One thing I’m considering is going back to yoga, but I know that wouldn’t be enough. Being careful with what I eat is already a given but I think I need to do more physically to get in shape. 30 Day Shred again? Maybe. Treadmill daily? Seems likely.
To my friends and readers who have had thyroid conditions (as this seems to be more common than I thought), what did you do to lose or maintain your weight at the height of your problem? I need help!
