Day 3: Rolling

Sorry I missed a day. I had fully intended to update daily, but Mondays are our crazy days, and I wasn’t feeling well at all, so that didn’t help! Sunday was horrid, but I made it through. Yesterday was quite a bit better, though that’s not saying much. I was tired, hungry, and achy all day. Today ought to be better.

I’ve already lost the loading weight and two more. In a week or so, I should be back to my last-cycle LIW (Last Injection Weight), which is good—but still galling. I need to remember, for me, it’s a journey, not a destination.

I have a really odd metabolism. I did indeed feel vindicated when I had an appointment with a top notch doctor in Seattle (a noted endocrinologist who also specializes in things like pituitary, etc.) who said I’m just, “…one of those people we can’t figure out.” If they can’t figure it out, that sort of lends credibility to my belief that my body just doesn’t WORK right, and it’s not my fault.

Even so, fault or no, I can’t just throw up my hands and not try. If I did that, I think I’d just gain and gain and gain until I popped like that girl on Willie Wonka. So, it comes to this: The Diet from Hell. Sadly, it’s the only thing that works for me…mostly.

Yeah, it sucks. It sucks a lot. I suffer and no mistake. But I don’t want to die early because of obesity and its related issues. So I keep trying.
