Currently, my long time war is with my colon. My colon and I do not agree on much lately despite my current efforts to disarm my enemy, yet they always seem to have a way of sneaking up on me in the most unfortunate ways. My colon and I will fight "The Never Ending War" until I die or it is removed. Because of this war, I have anemia and the superpower of knowing where any bathroom is. I am a librarian so I am good with research and finding bathrooms. My colon does not know this, but I know how to beat them. My first attempt is to lose weight. I need to lose weight to drop the amount of chemotherapy going into my body ever seven weeks for the rest of my life unless I am pregnant. (I would have to stop for the third trimester and while I breastfed my children. I may bottle feed them. I am not married nor do I have children besides my furbaby.)
I have tried for years to lose the weight, but only when I reached my max weight of 267 did I really push for it. For me, eating less, working out despite my arthritis trying to stop me (I think my arthritis is in league with my colon! I will let you know more in the future what I find out!), and using humor as a mask for pain. Seriously, I've been deep in this war for almost seven years. I will be victorious. If I need an armistice, then I will force one. I swear it.
Lately, I have won some of the battles. The one thing that is alluding me is the weight loss that comes with my autoimmune. I have another that is trying to prevent me from losing weight. (I think there may be a legion forming against me.)
So far, I've dropped down quite a bit since October. I started again in December to try harder. I've lost a good fifteen pounds or so.
I'm not measuring my loss by pound per pound but in vials. I need it! Less strain on my joints. (Arthritis and inflammation are going to make my knees crack. I am too young for this! Gah!)
I will hopefully be victorious in my next weigh in. Thank you for reading.
Tune in next time for a war update.
