6-9-09 Weigh-in
Starting Weight: 296
Previous weight: 266.4
Current weight: 265.6
Loss: -.8
I had to weigh myself at least five times this morning to make sure that I did indeed lose weight this week. The thing is, I was horrible this week. I had chocolate, pizza rolls, ice cream, snack foods, you name it. I've also been finding excuses not to exercize (too tired, too sore, etc).
I've been feeling much more tired and have much less energy. My podiatrist put me on a pain medication that causes drowsiness, and it sucks big time. I haven't thoroughly read the side effects, but if one of them is weight gain, I'm afraid that I might stop taking it. I would rather be in pain than be back at 296. I have another appointment with him tomorrow. Last week's visit he couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, so I got some blood tests taken the next day for rare conditions, including specific kinds of arthritis. He said that the chances of me having any of those disorders is very very small, but he wants to be able to check them off of the list.
The more I think about it, the more scared I become. I get scared that I won't be able to walk properly again without pain. All of the dreams I've had, all the things that I want to do in life, like run an alpaca and rabbit farm with my future husband... I won't be able to do those things. I won't be able to play tag with my children or play fetch with our dogs. I won't be able to stand long enough to be of much help at all at a farm. I know I'm being melodramatic, but I am quite concerned.
