"The things that make me different, are the things that make me." -Winnie the Pooh
Down 13 pounds! YES! Finally the doctor's scale shows a lot more than just a one or two pound loss! I guess adding in the aerobics helped me get over being 'stuck." I bet it would have been more, if I wasn't so darn bloated.
*TMI WARNING* Tuesday I started having HORRIBLE cramps. They were so bad, I was laying in a fetal position, crying. I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome), and normally I have a yearly pap, pelvic ultrasound, and intrauterine ultrasound to check for cysts and other nasty things. Well, after losing my job and insurance, I haven't been able to in the past three years. I also have not had a period in the past two. (I know I know!) Yesterday and today, I not only had the cramps, but my flow has been crazy heavy. I'm have to wear a super tampon, and two heavy flow overnight pads, and I'm still bleeding thru them! I woke up at 7am this morning, and by the time my doctors appointment started at 10 am, I had changed my pads/tampon 5 times. :( I was doubled over in pain while talking with him. He is referring me to a gyno (I have a severe phobia of ob/gyns), but in the mean time has prescribed me some Norco tabs for pain, and Provera to try and get my flow under control. I have not been able to attend water aerobics all week, because even wearing a tampon, I am still bleeding out. I miss it.
*END OF TMI WARNING*
I am very proud of myself, and how far I have come in a year and half. I've lost a total of 110 pounds. That's a whole person! I am looking forward to losing another 100+ and getting down to 200 pounds. I know I'll never be stick thin, nor will I ever be taller than my 5'2" inches, but I can eat cleaner, and be a much more healthier, and happier me. That's my goal, to be a healthier, happier me.
