  • New to this "area"......

    I started induction a while back and then got sick, one thing led to another and I failed at making it a clean induction (NO ones fault but mine)

    However, now that I know I have a nodule on my thyroid that will need to come out soon - I am back on track. Started a clean induction today and hopefully will never have to say those words again

    I got my labs back and they are "normal" despite signs of Hypothyroidism. I had a needle biopsy last Friday and I am just waiting for those results. I truly believe they won't be bad, but the fact that the nodule is growing and is making swallowing difficult and achy - I want it out. I don't want something like that in my body if I don't have to have it.

    During this sick time of about 3 weeks, I did alot thinking and evaluating and finally know that I want to be better for ME. I want to like how I look, I want to be proud and not ashamed for people I haven't seen in a while to see me.

    My dad went to the hospital via ambulance early this a.m. and they believe he has more blockage in his heart. I have seen him not take care of himself as well as he could and don't want that to be me in 20+ years.

    Also, to boot - I am an emotional eater so being sick, sad, happy, scared and pretty much anything else makes me want to reach for junk. I will fight that though because I know what and where I want to be.

    Thanks for listening - I find this board a God send!!

    Thanks !!

      Brighter,

      I'm glad you've joined ADBB! It sounds like you're making some great decisions regarding your health.

      I was an emotional eater too, and more commonly, a "bored" eater. Eating was something to do. I can honestly say that Atkins really has taught me how to feed only my hunger...heck, after I broke the carb addiction, the Atkins plan showed me what "hunger" actually is! That's not to say I ever go hungry. If I'm hungry, I eat and don't feel the least bit guilty!

      Welcome to the board, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to post them!
