Cancer Survivor rededicated to healthy living

Hello! My name is Charlie and I am currently rededicating myself to healthy living after fighting and surviving cancer. I have struggled with the mental health side of it, which only led to binge eating and sedentary living. I have been a member of MFP off an on over the last decade and have been successful in the past, before getting sick. I've struggled with thyroid issues my entire life and it has increased the difficulty of my fitness journey and usually I lost the battle. I'm ready for that to change :smile:

Feel free to friend as everyone can use a community around them to be successful!

    Hi, Charlie - I'm at a different stage of the process, but also a cancer survivor, and also severely hypothyroid (though I don't know if that's your specific thyroid issue). I just wanted to stop by your thread, welcome you back to MFP, and let you know that I'm cheering for you to succeed: It's possible!
