My name is Kayla Dobbins. I live in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States.
I am starting this blog in hopes I can share with you my life's journey with my 2 beautiful daughters, my handsome son, and my burly sexy husband of almost 7 years.
I am suffering from a disease called Hypothyroidism. I started showing symptoms after my son was born, in the year 2010. My hair was falling out in clumps. Then came the fatigue and brainfog. Mood swings are a problem sometimes. I just can't control myself.
This blog is to talk about my everyday life but also to talk about finding my way through this sickness and sharing with others that they are not alone.
Doctors like to act like a problem with your thyroid is not a major problem. Your thyroid controls so many things in your body, it is imperative that you keep it in tip-top shape, along with all other organs and body parts.
I will get personal for one whole second here... the last time I weighed myself was about 2-3 months ago and I was 320lbs. There, I said it. What a relief off my chest. Now to get it to melt off my body! Ugh, so frustrating.
Your thyroid is supposed to control so many hormones in your body, but unfortunately, this TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is not being made enough by my body to keep my thyroid working properly so my body is out of whack.
I get cold easily, forget things quickly, no energy and always tired with no motivation, I have bad mood swings whether I'm laughing, crying, screaming, I have no patience sometimes, I can feel when my heart gets into an irregular pattern. I can feel pressure in my chest. I clench it until it goes away; maybe about 10 seconds, maybe a couple times a week. Trying to show that it's not a constant thing. It happens and goes away.
My inability to lose weight is absolutely not good for my mental health. I have no idea what can help me lose weight or what hinders me. All I know is that everything I eat, whether actually "healthy" or not, has not yet allowed me to lose any weight.
It's so hard to carry around an extra person at all times. I remember being so flexible just like my middle daughter, Elaina. I miss the times of thinking I was "fat" back in high school, before I had kids. I had a little pooch belly but like I say, it was little. I had no flat belly but I was definitely not in the range of "fat" by any means.
So, to wrap things up, I hope you enjoy any and all posts I make and I hope to keep your attention. I'm not sure if I will actually post things daily but I will do my utmost to keep with what my blog is named. Anything that I ever post, if you see something wrong, misspelled, wrong information, whatever, please politely let me know. I'd like to keep this blog open to everybody and with no drama or feelings involved in anything. This is a place where everybody can talk about whatever they feel relates to the post that I am currently writing about. Please don't get off topic.
We are all civil adults. Thank you :)
