Never
let anyone tell you what you are incapable of .
Only two years ago i went to the family doctor because my weight had become out of control.He got me to stand on a scale and the number that presented itself worried him.That number was 230 pounds. I was twelve years old at the time. He had me take multiple blood tests and the results came back in little less then 24 hours . He told me i had something called "underactive thyroid disorder" . He told me that this is probably something i'll have till the day i die . There are different thyroid disorders , overactive thyroid disorder where the patient will lose 10 pounds in under a week without meaning and will not gain it back or will have to try hard to gain it back , they also suffer from insomnia ( incapable of sleeping) and other symptoms that aren't exactly pleasant ; now my disorder, an underactive thyroid disorder (also just known as an underactive thyroid) forces me to still feel tired and sleeping a lot, depression , intense weight gain , sore muscles, slow movements, very weak at times , dry and/or pale skin and other symptoms that i thought growing up was natural for everyone. The doctor told me that if i didn't loose at least 25 pounds as soon as possible i was in serious danger of developing type 2 diabetes. He tried to give me advice but once he told me it would be twice as hard for me to loose weight then the average adult , i thought i was doomed .He told me that there is probably no chance of me every becoming a healthy weight for my age and gender. I didn't see a point of trying if i was bound to fail . That is until December 2010 to be exact . I saw a quote on witty that read:
" Never let anyone tell you what you are incapable of . "
I can't remember if it was a top quote or not but i sat at my computer for hours staring at that . Mainly because at the time , i couldn't remember if there were one time i hadn't let someone tell me what i couldn't and could do . I cried that night until i couldn't breath .
January 2011 i started going for walks and started paying attention to what i was eating .
I am now fourteen going on fifteen , 5'4'' , 159 pounds and i still have 25-30 pounds left to go .
if there is anything in your life that you ever wanted so so badly but you think you can't possibly do it because thats what someone told you ....
You Can Do It.
thank you to anyone who took time to read all of that .
