I need friends to keep me encouraged!

I'm only 21 years old, but last month I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. For those who don't know, Thyroid plays a big part in your body. You literally can't live without it. And it plays a huge part in your metabolism. So last month when I went to the doctor, I weighed 119. This month I weigh 129.8. So in a months time I gained almost 11 pounds. And it's really got to me. So I'm back on my fitness pal. But I need some friends to stick with me, and encourage me, and make sure I stay on track. Because every time I've done this, I've quit a week later. And this time I'm just extremely discouraged.

Honey, don't make your crazy about those 11 pounds. Your body is fighting a fight, a big one, and you're going to need those resources. Eat as healthily as you can, follow your treatment plan, and take the best care you can of your body. I know it's scary, and I know your body is changing faster than you can keep track of, but cancer is a fight, and you've got be focused on fighting that, not on losing those pounds that, depending on your treatment plan, you're probably going to really need later.

Take care of yourself, stay strong!
