In early fall I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid, upon hearing the news I was absolutely shocked. I was Hyperthyroid...meaning that my thyroid produced way more hormone that it should, causing me to have an extremely fast metabolism, a heartbeat so fast, a high body temperature, anxiety, and those just among other things!
There were many options to cure my illness, but, out of all the options, I decided to go with the option of radioactive iodine, which killed my thyroid over the course of a couple of months with a pill.
My thyroid began to slow down, getting me to a regulated hormone amount and to say the least, I felt great!
But, over time my thyroid reached it's state of Hypothyroid, meaning it was dead, basically. Producing no hormone whatsoever, my dead thyroid combined with my anemia caused me to be weak and barely able to move or do anything for quite awhile...
needless to say I gained a *lot* of weight.

I'm taking medication to regulate my thyroid, but, I'm feeling very down and out, knowing I've gained so much weight, can anyone tell me how I can motivate myself to push onward? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a doctor but instead a person that has a gluten intolerance. It's called celiacs disease. If you have never heard of it I think it would benefit you to look into it. Gluten to a person that has a gluten intolerance is quite toxic to ones body. Because celiacs disease is an autoimmune disorder it means that the body is literally attacking itself. It is quite shocking to see how much gluten can and will effect our bodies if we continue to ingest the stuff. It can greatly affect things like thyroid, diabetes, anixiety, depression, memory, dental enamel and so on.

The great thing (if there is such a thing) about having a gluten intolerance and the problems that come with it is the only thing you have to do to stop and reverse some of these "symptoms" is eat gluten free. There is NO medication needed or other medical treatment. This is often the reason why doctors will not and do not test for this disease.

It's worth looking into and talking to your doctor about it. There are tests that can verify whether you have celiacs disease or not, but if you just want to try eating gluten free and see if it improves the way you feel I think you will have your answer!
