There are a few of us that deal with one form of autoimmune disease or another. I have Hashimoto's. My body attacks it's own thyroid. I have been incredibly blessed not to have to deal with a lot of weight. I don't know how I have been so blessed. I still have weight to control, lose, whatever, but after seeing what my mom dealt with for so long, I know I am blessed. <br /><br />My struggle is in exercise. Because my disease attacks my thyroid, my metabolism is shot most of the time. No matter how healthy I eat (quite similar to you actually), diet doesn't help. In fact, my metabolism sets in part of the time if I try to diet and I end up on a binge quite regularly. So I try very hard to maintain the "word of wisdom diet" as it has been known in my house. <br /><br />When I have an attack, my body shuts down. I have no energy. I barely get out of bed. And I forget what I need to do to keep going. It is so hard to be able to do one thing, like go on a 25-mile bike ride and feel great afterwards, to walk around the block and feel completely exhausted. It. Just. SUCKS! So, I finally realize, AGAIN, what I need to do, and start back at square one. Walk a mile. Walk two miles. Speed walk three miles... and so on. <br /><br />I don't know if I will ever lose the 30 pounds that keeps me in the overweight category on my doctor's charts. But if I can keep my heart strong and keep my body moving so I can enjoy life with my kids, I feel I will be blessed, as will my family. <br /><br />My mom died at age 67. She had multiple heart conditions, sclerosis(?) of the liver, thyroid complications, kidney issues, etc., etc., etc. Before she passed away I was on the right path with my family. Now, I am almost fanatic. And I don't care. As long as I know my family is getting what they need to lead strong, healthy lives, and overcome the genetic issues that are stored in reserve, I am happy.<br /><br />Sounds to me like you are doing a fantastic job, Tiffany. Thank you for posting this. And keep up what you are doing!!hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099282113975042859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507343092704271919.post-49172346316717440702012-07-18T21:14:02.420-07:002012-07-18T21:14:02.420-07:00Tiffy,
xx. I know I had an offensive post recent...Tiffy,<br /><br />xx. I know I had an offensive post recently, on facebook about obesity, by my brother and law and then by me, but I wanted you to know that I really want my Riley to eat healthy...so he can be with me.<br /><br />Something I've always known about you Tiff is that you don't eat any more if not way less than I eat. <br /><br />I can seriously relate in skin. Do you know how ignorant people are of pimples? My room mate in college seriously thought that people with zits never washed their faces! People would always tell me what they did to keep their crystal clear skin...all except that they were given crystal clear skin genes from God. <br /><br />I really love your thoughts on remembering. It reminds me I was told by my mission president, to remember. <br />I am going through an identity crisis of some sorts right now in how I perceive my family sees me. I want really badly to leave the natural man behind. How can I leave behind the natural man without putting back my mantle of pride too soon and forget how much I always need the Lord? But without crying every half hour of the day? You know? Well anyways. I love you and wish you the best and I say...GREAT job on using wheat and honey...keep up the great work!!! <br />The world does worship image thats for sure. I am sorry for that. Good luck on that liver of yours. You are a beautiful woman Tiffany inside and out.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046913325092522758noreply@blogger.com
