			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/329712.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;and I really wont post anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my life hasn't been this bad ever..and I feel like Im stuck..forever in this rut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I keep making mistake after mistake...and I no longer feel life is worth it at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sorry for the pessimist attitude...but nobdoy has a clue of how bad my life has gotten in the past few months...the only time im truly happy is when i sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i wake up and again facing this reality that i just hate so much.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sorry but i wont be answering any messages of any one asking for help with ED's...i know it sounds bad, but i simply can not deal with any of that right now...dond have the mind to deal with that..but i do wish you find support elsewhere..this site is filled with people willing to listen and give help....i wish i were a successful recovery story...sadly im not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wish you all the best of luck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>starting on meds.</title>
			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/280012.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;today is my first day taking thyroid meds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hopefully i'll be able to see a change soon...I think I actually am feeling a bit better, even with such a low dose (25 mcg).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In about a month I'll know for sure...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I feel a bit more calm, still kind of worried, but nevertheless a lot more optimistic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;stressful times are ahead...so I need to try and find balance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yesterday I had 1,600 calorias and gained half a pound...and the day before I gained half a pound out of the blue...so that's a pound in two days...definitely water weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wish me luck.&lt;/p&gt;</description>			<comments>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/280012.html</comments>

&lt;p&gt;and is willing to give me meds (lord thank you!!!)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I feel so much more relieved....hopefully this is it! I can avoid anything bad from happening...agh, hopefullyyyyy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/276668.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;I feel horrible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I havent felt this upset in my life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I go over other girl's journals...girls that I&amp;nbsp; used to be able to &quot;relate&quot; to some level..but now I can't, it's like...I dont feel normal, and that's the worst feeling in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No meds yet, and I'm freaking out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With luck on tuesday, my new endo will fucking give me meds, if not I'm definitely screaming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm so upset!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish this disease would banish forever and never ever appear in my life again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would give the world to get rid of it...I really would :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*sigh*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Eating out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eavesdropping on a conversation between stranger # 1 and stranger # 2-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;stranger # 1 : &quot;geez, slow down, you're eating like a pig, and then you'll be wondering where all the blubber came from&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;stranger # 2: &quot;nah, dont worry, I have like this super fast metabolism. I eat and eat and never gain an ounce... besides it's not like I have a glandular problem or something I can always just slim down easily&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;me: sit there and be eternally jealous and just filled with anger/depression ... I hate this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Stop the Thyroid Madness!</title>
			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/275821.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;I've done my homework. All to make extra sure that I get the right treatment since the very beginning. I won't allow this damn disease to take control of my life, soooo I wanted to share with those of you who are suffering from Hypo...There is still some hope :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;go here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;www.stopthethyroidmadness.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be englightened. The scary part is that IT IS ALL VERY TRUE. Trust me...I've read everywhere on this issue and I've confirmed it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's about time to feel good, and I think this is the resolution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;enjoy :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>It ain't that bad.</title>
			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/275180.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;The secret ingredient to true happiness is setting yourself free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can't say I'm there yet, because there are many fears I've yet to conquer, but I feel like Im winning a lot of territory in this matter. I feel lighter, overall, my brain feels less cluttered. I have been confronted by 3 diseases these past 3 years. Anorexia Nervosa, PCOS and now Hypothyroidism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, I did feel defeated. I felt like my life had reached an ultimate end. But then I stopped myself and thought...what? my life is just barely starting out. So what if I have hypo? so what if I have PCOS? I chose life, and even if that means getting new thicker skin, than I can live with that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I have to be more careful with what I eat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I have to take meds for the rest of my life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I have to exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Life can be MUCH worst.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I take control of the situation, and I am true to myself, things will be ok. I have to trust, and I have to have faith.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am lucky to have been diagnosed so early on in my hypo. I have more chances of controlling it and living without symptoms getting in my way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first my biggest fear was weight gain. This coming from someone who is still recovering from an ED is NORMAL. I still fear weight gain. I do, I won't deny it, but having hypo doesn't = weight gain always. I've had various examples of women who live their entire lifes with hypo, and are very slim. It's all about exercising, and having your meds on track. I can live with that. I am scared of living with this disease for the rest of my life, but Im too young to worry about that now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CARPE DIEM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow I could be dead for all I know....in the next 30 years I can even develop a nastier disease (i hope not but you never know)...and it is then when I'll regret living my life feeling sorry for myself because I have hypo and I'm petrified of weight gain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THINGS WILL BE OK, you'll see Ans...just get that dust off your shoulders, lift that boulder off of your back, and chin up...life could be worst!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;things are still going peachy. Im currently not gaining weight since last week. Hopefully that means Im on the right track. I no longer binge! I feel satisfied at the end of the day....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have to be happy...I have to enjoy what I have right now...and worry about things when they do get rough...now its all up to eating clean, eating healthy and being healthy...taking care of myself, and thats that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still wish I didn't have hypo, I know I'd be 10 times happier...but again...it could be worst.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wish me luck everyone....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>ups and downs</title>
			<link>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/274015.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;I still am feeling down about this new found disease i have....and I still wish with all my might that this was just all a b ad dream and that Im super healthy and in my way to living my old life....none of that is coming true ever again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i feel very defeated...smacked down...I dunno....chances I will gain weight in the future are huge...who knows how long Im going to be able to keep a normal amount of thyroid hormone in my body...im going to become a slave to my body just so that i can keep my figure...i hate that thought..i just want to live! i never minded being skinny fat...now i wont be able to be that again....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont know how to feel ....im so sad....id give anything to be healthy right now..ANYTHING...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and for those of you who are complaining about their weights...please dont...at least you ARE healthy..and that weight CAN come off eventually without so much struggle...be content that you have a working thyroid, and a healthy body....because those who dont would give the world to have that...at least i know i do...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wishing i could turn back time....this sucks...my life sucks :( *sigh*&lt;/p&gt;</description>			<comments>http://caloriecount.about.com/users/bananee/274015.html</comments>
