Thyroid issues run in my family so I wanted to get mine checked out. My mom and my aunt both have had their removed surgically because of complications. I found out that my grandma had issues with hers as well so by probability, I'm next in line.
I went to the doctor and she had me give some blood samples to be analyzed. She felt my neck and decided a neck ultrasound would be needed as well for good measure.
I got my blood work back. My thyroid level is within normal range however I am vitamin D deficient AND I am prediabetic!
It was and wasn't a shock to me. I mean come on..I'm 5'4", 204 pounds, and do nothing but eat TacoBellMcDonaldsWendysChipotle and watch everything on Netflix without stepping foot outside.
It is definitely a wake up call.
I have joined a Diet Bet again. You bet $35 that you can lose 4% of your weight. I have to lose 8.6 pounds by May 1st. That'll get me to 195.8 pounds.
So now I am on a low carb diet. I am no longer eating starchy carby things. No more. I do not want diabetes. No ma'am.
Today is officially my first day. LORD HELP ME.
