Day 1: All Pain, No Payoff

While I'm telling myself it gets better, and from six cycles before this I know it does, but I feel awful. I liken it to having a fever. I feel exhausted, dizzy, weak, cold, then hot, starving, etc. The biggest accomplishment of the day (besides not saying f**k it and shoving four cookies into my mouth at once) was taking a shower. And it took me until 2:00 to get the energy to do that.

Earlier, I tried to finish prepping for school tomorrow. I spent a super hard hour before putting it aside and slumping back in defeat. I just can't focus. Even my eyes are blurry.

But I know it gets better. I hope it gets better quickly. MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT FOR WIMPS.

  1. Friendly reminder: One day at a time. Your body knows what your limits are, so no militant tactics need apply. Go with the flow :)

  2. Have we met? Going with the flow is not something I excel at. Point taken, though. Thanks. :)
