Winning The Battle

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers who have extended their support and prayers to me. I’ve been battling with hyperthyroidism since February and I’m so happy to tell you that my endocrinologist (Dr. E. Tan of St. Luke’s Medical Center) ordered me to stop my meds for two weeks and subsequently lower the dosage from 20mg (3 times a day) to 5mg/once a day. I’m becoming the hippopotamus that I was again. Challenges like not seeing my jaw line or not being able to button my denims (sometimes I can’t even zip it halfway) pales in comparison to the prospect of getting  a clean bill of health.  So there you go guys, a huge thanks to y’all. 

I hope that my battle with hyperthyroidism could give inspiration to all the other millions who are going through it. There’s always a cure for something. Just be disciplined and don’t lose hope. There were times that I blamed myself. All I wanted was to look thinly fabulous then. So I reckon now that crash diets don’t work (out fine in the end).

I’m now 145 lbs from being a 100-pound skeleton.

Lot’s of love from me to y’all and here’s to healthy living!
