Seriously Losing It


Summer is pretty much here and can I say dieting has pretty much gone down the drain. I am not going to wallow in self-pity. Ok maybe just a little. I finally got in to see the neurologist. He feels the same as the Gastroenterologist. I had to quit breastfeeding. I need to take care of my body. I'm not happy about all the meds. I started the topamax. It has not produced the same results as the first time I started them. The first time I started them I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks without even trying. These past 2 and half weeks have been pure hell. I have been so sick. I have had body aches from head to toe. I have been extremely exhausted. I have been dizzy. My head has hurt so badly and I have had the worst stomachaches. I have been throwing up. I have been unable to eat and have been living on a diet of pepto bismal and pepsi. And can you believe it throw all this torture I was hoping for the benefit of weight loss. No my stomach looks like I am pregnant and I have gained a pound. WTF. I have to be a mom too. I have three kids to take care of, work to go to and a job. At least I was able to get out of jury duty. It was going to be a 6-8 weeks criminal case. So to sum it up, breastfeeding did not help me lose weight, dieting did not help me lose weight, meds did not help me lose weight, and being sick is not helping me lose weight. I’M LOSEING IT!!!
