Fatigue

I don't think that it is a coincidence that the word "fat" is the beginning of fatigue. I've made all kinds of excuses as to why I am often tired or exhausted, such as "I'm hypothyroid, I'm just a tired person, I'm just a low-energy person" etc. It has taken me a while to admit that my fatigue could be caused by lugging around more than a 100 extra pounds. Hmmm, seems sort of obvious now. I'm not saying that my thyroid has nothing to do with it, because it may, but honestly, it likely has a lot to do with the excess weight.

So I'm hoping that as I get into better shape, and drop some unhealthy weight, that my energy will increase. I certainly hope so. It's frustrating having to plan things around anticipated energy levels, or lack thereof.
