Dear Body
Dear Body,
My friends over at Our Wicked Weighs have suggested that I write a letter to you and express how I feel.
Let’s start off with asking how am I supposed to like you if you don’t even like yourself. For some reason, you have decided to wage war on your own parts. You constantly send out white blood cells to attack and kill off the thyroid. Don’t you understand that this gland is extremely vital to your very existence?
I used to love my hair, but you have let my immune system get way out of hand and it has caused my hair to go gray really early in my life. Plus since you are attacking the thyroid, my hair falls out in great big clumps.
I do love my eyes though. They allow me to read and look at things. They are thankfully functioning awesomely.
I will take credit for not taking care of you as I should. I used to go to the gym numerous times a week. I used to eat really healthy. In fact, at one point I was even a vegetarian. However, even when I was treating you in a very loving manner, you still let me down.
I am very thankful that we are starting to get along much nicer. I just wish you would stop fighting with your own thyroid.
I am trying to eat healthy and exercise so that you may get down to a healthy weight. I have been eating foods to help prevent your arteries from getting clogged. I have lowered my salt intake so that your blood pressure is staying within normal limits.
We have to stick together for many more years to come. Lets call it a truce and help each other out.
