Re: weght and sugar

This is all very encouraging and awesome for you!

I just get so hungry – especially 30 minutes after taking a dose of thyroid meds—

I take mine in 3 divided doses to try to keep my hands from freezing up and my energy levels stable.

I eat lots of apples, veggies, salads, etc. but I love bread and carbs and I think it’s probably the sugar that’s my downfall.

I don’t eat any cookies, soda, chips, etc. but can’t lose a pound.

I am gonna have to see about a whole foods in my area.

Yes, I cut back on all junk food including the sugary ones and started using smaller portions at mealtimes. I joined Overeaters Anonymous and follow a plan of eating that I created with my sponsor. I had to finally admit that I was a sugar/food addict in order to get the help and support that I needed. I'm in program and abstinent 67 days today. I pulled out my old labs and it looks as if I have had some improvement in the lipids, so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get them under control. I'm borderline now, but I haven't started exercising yet. The doctor said exercise, eat 'Smart Balance' spread 1tsp each day, and red wine if I don't have a problem with alcohol in my family.

I stopped buying the low fat versions of dressings/mayo etc. and instead I buy the full fat version and eat 1/2 as much or cut it 50/50 with plain yogurt. There are a lot fewer chemicals and additives in the full fat ones and I want everything as close as possible to it's natural state... Judy
