Small But Mighty: A Thyroid Life

'Switch' means change.
'Switch' means exchange.
'Switch,' to me, implies that you are either going back to something or that you will go back at a later stage.
A 'switch,' in body terms, is never permanent. It's like swapping. Like trading: you keep going for the better trade or the higher exchange.

In 'body terms' you can make switches just like you can trade one card for another. Here's my lesson learnt: if you know how foods affect you then you can make them affect you in the right way. If high-sugar foods make you sleepy and you are in desperate need of sleeping then eat the stuff! Trade your well-kept energy for that sleepy symptom you so dislike and make it work the right way. If wheat makes you bloated but you want you supress your appetite then go for it! And to get back? Just stop eating it. If too much yoghurt makes you go like hell then eat it like hell. Trade one type of pain for another, just to relieve the first one for a while, just until things the second way get too bad. It's not really about a balance; it's about tipping the scales to hell and pelting them up to heaven, with a little earth-time in-between. Trade ongoing irritance for one night of illness and perhaps sone additional concerns..but if it works, it works, right? Deal with the next lot of symptoms after.

Learn how every food and drink affects you and then you can work out how to counteract one symptom with another. Life is a constant Switch. Switch. Switch. Switch.

Where are you at now?
