The (im)possible mission of an Italian cook's daughter

My whole family suffers from underactive thyroids. My dad was the only one serious enough to get medicine and he lost about 80 pounds from it. My body themperature and heartbeat are bother extremely low. In some ways we are protected from some of the horrible effects of being overweight by my family's genes, but we also have an easier time gaining weight. I didn't get close to 500 pounds because of genes, but they didn't help.
 
Hey, I'm just dropping in to see how everything is going. Hope all is well.
 
Hey Venice; did your new lover take you on a gondola serenade on the canals of Venice? OR
Did you found out some news about your thyroid? I'm hoping you are well.
 
Hi everybody!
I'm sorry I've been away for such a long time! I've been a bit depressed because of my problems with the thyroid (it turned out there were some problems...) and I've let myself go and regained the 5 lost kgs...I'm so ashamed.
However, here I am, I finally accepted that the thyroid will be cured and that it is no excuse to stop caring about myself.
I'll have to start a new diet, and will follow Steve's advice to eat more calories than I used to!
I hope all the wonderful people that were around the last time I was here are still here and are doing great! I missed you guys!
 
Glad to have you back, Venice Girl! Just pick up where you left off, and keep on trucking. Not much you can do about those lbs that were lost and regained, but lose them and keep going!! Same thing happened to me when I went on vacation.

We are all here for ya!
 
Hi VeniceGirl; I know what it's like to be down in the dumps and regain lost weight...don't feel ashamed. You're human. Good on ya for caring about yourself, and good luck with your new goals. I missed you too!!
 
Hi there,

Sorry to hear you have a thyroid problem, at least now you know and the doctors can do something about it..

Dont give up! Best of luck.
 
Oh! I know I sent you a PM, but I was just thinking about you yesterday and hoping you are ok!!! Dont worry about the weight gained, you are here to start fresh. :) We are here for you, and I am glad you found out about your thyroid before it became a huge problem.
