    So ... I've done quite a bit of reading and am now more confused than ever! Haha. I am on Synthroid, which apparently is only a T4 medication. I've read about dessicated thyroid meds (like Armour) which provide all of the needed supplements. SO, I've scheduled an appointment to talk to my doctor about trying Armour. I'm still experiencing hair loss and I think I've accepted my sleepiness as typical, so maybe I am still lacking something.

    I've researched gluten and the thyroid, as well as dairy and the thyroid. I'm not sure I'm gluten intolerant, but I see that there's a test. I'm going to ask about that when I go to the doctor. I'm not sure I want to cut out gluten before knowing that it's causing an issue. I *did* read that the gluten and lactose intolerance can be directly related, though! I also read about psoriasis, too! It's amazing how much of this can be tied together!

    This morning I woke up, showered, put some clothes on and cried. I'm so tired. I'm fatter, I jiggle, my clothes don't fit (again), I'm bloated, I'm fatigued, I just want to stay in my PJs all day, my bras don't fit, I'm getting comments from people, looks from people, it feels like I'm doing a reset and I'm not! I'm at a 15% cut from maintenance ... and I just keep gaining. I've done nothing but gain since starting EM2WL. I am so flippin' sad; I don't know what to do. I can't survive on 1200 calories and I don't want to, nor will I try. But I do not understand why I am not losing anything. I've been doing this for almost half a year now ... half a year. I want to crawl in a hole, hide and starve until I'm at least the weight I was before! I hate this. I don't want to gain any more and don't understand why I'm gaining in the first place.

    Thinking of trying one week gluten free ... not sure if I really want to do that before knowing it's causing an issue, but ... maybe I should try?

    Just frustrated this morning. Tired of being fat. I'm stronger than I was before, but at what cost? Sorry for the rants. They seem to come in cycles. I just want this to work, I want this to be over, I want to be on my way to healthy.
