End of week one, good & bad news
So the official end of week one was Tuesday. Total weight loss my first week was 5 lbs. I am happy with that. My joy has kind of been killed. I went to the doctor Monday to have my hormone levels and thyroid checked since my hair has been thinning for years. Based on what I told the doctor he seemed to think it was a hormone issue that could be resolved with a pill. Well I got the results today. Hormones fine. No auto immune disease. No thyroid issue. BUT guess who has pre diabetes?! I DO. I am shocked because I am only 24. I know it isn't full blown diabetes but I cried. Its just scary. I know several people in my family have diabetes but this is normally something that comes a long in your 40s. A friend of mine put it into perspective and said a person can be pre diabeters for years and not know it. I am just happy I found out now. I feel like this is almost a "good" development because it will just encourage me to keep healthy eating habits. This weekend I plan on reading up anything "pre diabetes" I can find. I wonder how this is going to effect my weight watchers. I love the prepacked Smart Ones and Lean Cuisines because they are convenient for work lunches. But a lot of them have rice or potatoes... Feeling a tiny bit overwhelmed. But now I know why I always feel thirsty and why I need at least 8-9 hours of sleep now to feel "normal." Just wish I knew where to start!!
