Goals
5 January 2010 | 4 Comments
I’ve been typing up posts for this blog and not posting them. I’ve been rolling around thoughts in my hands and then dropped them to pick up later. I’m still going to therapy and there have been one too many doctor appointments.
I won’t lie. I gave up for a period of time, I feel like I’m swinging this mallet over and over and making no dents. You’ve heard this all before. Hell, I’m sick of saying it.
I had to get a mammogram. It sucked, especially since I shouldn’t have had to get one for another like 5-10 years but at least everything is ok. My doctor mentioned hypothyroidism. Super. I also learned that Diabetes II runs in my family.
I feel like I’ve gained weight.
Sometimes I feel like, what’s the point in blogging here if I’m only going to complain but I know this at least serves a purpose to me and hopefully others can relate. It helps to know that something you are struggling with is understood by others.
But I’m ready to again start moving upstream instead of just letting the current drag me downstream. I have so many goals for this year, many of which don’t even have to do with my health. I do, however, want to make a dent.
I have no resolutions. I want a revolution.

Also I am on
DailyPlate if any of you are.

I’m glad to see you back Robin! I know that it’s hard to swim upstream, but you can definitely go against the tide. I enjoy reading your blog no matter what you write about.
Welcome back Robin!

I’ll be swimming upstream with you. I love your resolve.

“It helps to know that something you are struggling with is understood by others.”
It really, really does. Even though you may think you’re complaining too much, I guarantee someone out there some where is feeling the same thing: knowing you’re not alone can make such a huge difference. Plus, it’s YOUR blog, so you get to post what you want, when you want.
It’s hard to stay positive and keep the faith when things seem stacked against you; personally, I don’t think you HAVE to be positive 100% of the time (it’s just too hard to maintain, and I think you run the risk of slipping into denial sometimes – this is a general “you,” by the way… ). That being said, the ability to pick yourself up and keep going is amazing.
You can do this. *hugs*

Remember when you were wondering why you weren’t losing any weight even though you changed your diet some and started working out? Hypothyroidism makes you gain weight — it’s a glandular disorder.
