Super low metabolism because of thyroidectomy

today, I picked up some pottery equipment . I struggle every day with not just how I feel about me but want so much for my Mom to support me and be proud of me. I have school things for the next two days so can't go to the mall to walk. I wish that Mom understood what all I am doing for me to stay healthy. I know that she worries but just to have her say that she loves me and is proud of me means so much. I will be going back to the gym most likely on Saturday and will work on going everyday. I need to work harder than most people at it. And seriously, since I don't have a thyroid, then my metabolism is way less than it should be. What seems to come easily to others when you are talking about losing weight seems to be an impossible goal for me. I think I may look into going to an endocrinologist. If I haven't met my goal by lets say labor day which is about a seven weeks, then I will do that. I think I get most depressed because I think (probably my imajination) that Mom is always on my back, about walking, exercising etc. Walking for me does not do it. I need to do more cardio and weightlifting. Pray for me that I can keep up my positive attitude.
