“What ever you believe to be true with in yourself, your subconscious will immediately go to work to prove yourself RIGHT.” -Ed Mylett Some will never know how much it means to see one single word show up on your T tests… And that word is NORMAL… 😭😭😭 I was diagnosed with hashimotos disease in 2015. And for anyone that has an auto immune disease… The struggle to ever achieve normal T levels again is a hard a rough road. This image of me shows the evidence of how my face has been effected… 1 eye opens more than the other, my eye brows are more parallel, and my smile is always higher on one side when I’m not showing my teeth… I went from hiding, to being open about my face. People always see the outside… They see the “not losing much (weight)” when they have no idea I used to top the scales at 210… They don’t see the hours I spend in a gym running on a treadmill, lifting HEAVY weights… They don’t see the many social events and outings and special occasions that I DIDN’T touch alcohol or eat dessert… So I guess it’s a good thing that what THEY see never stopped me from trying ANYTHING to feel better. My path to 9? Nutrition. Everyone finds what works for them. And I don’t care what you do, as long as YOU are happy with yourself. That’s all that matters. Having an amazing form of nutrition helped me achieve energy, focus, better memory, and a happier overall life as a mother, a wife, and a professional. I don’t miss the tired. I don’t miss feeling like I need a coffee IV (btw, I’ve been coffee dependent free for 4 years, nor do I use a stimulant based pre-workout) I switched from: coffee to filling in my nutrition gaps. Anti anxiety to L-tryptophan. Sleeping in to early morning gym time. Excuses to Actions. And most of all, I learned to love myself along the way. Consistency is all things is not just an inspirational quote on a high school counselor’s wall… It’s the truth 💖 #happy #happyartist #hashimotos #hashimotosdisease #ifeelamazing #utah #utahartist #utahtattooartist #thrive #thriver #level #nutrition #healthylifestyle #thrivewithhaylo #haylotattooartist #haylo (at 𝒩𝒪𝑅𝑀𝒜𝐿) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVYqWpADLz/?utm_medium=tumblr
