I am planning on starting Phase 1 of the sbd on Monday. It was recommended to me by my family doctor at my last visit. She indicated that this diet may help reduce my cholesterol - not to mention my weight!!
I have been suffering from Hypothyroidism since July of 2002 when I received radioactive iodine treatment to "kill" my thyroid which was then causing me to have Hyperthyroidism. ANYONE who has hypo knows the weight issues. So not only do I not have a thyroid to stimulate into working better, my labs are just NOW becoming regulated - after a weight gain of over 20 pounds.

My biggest issue is will power, i have none - lol. My df works until late almost every night and it leaves just myself and my ds to provide dinner for - which means with me getting home after 6 pm - i go for the easy fast food stuff!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So basically - I wanted to say "hi" and let you all know alittle about me - any suggestions and motivators are greatly appreciated - as well as some input on cooking for myself!!!! I have a very strict budget and any info is great....

Thanks everyone and have a wonderful weekend!!!
