I was telling someone at work about the dermatologist and how, quite frankly, I loathe her. She has the personality of a postage stamp, and not an interesting stamp. More like one of those boring ass “forever” stamps with the very non-de script American flags on it. And she’s mean.
But I digress.
Part of what causes this skin bullshit I deal with is weight, and I know that. But it’s difficult to be this age, have a potentially functioning ovary (but just one), and take the gigantic compliment of psych meds that I do. Plus, bad food tastes good.
So I’m trying. I’ve almost entirely given up caffeine, I have maybe one sugary drink a week, alcohol is out, lots more veggies and fruit are in, lean meat like fish and chicken. I swear to Ceiling Cat, I’M TRYING!!!
And then it happened. My good pal Dr. K and I joined the gym on campus. Yesterday we walked. For 30 minutes. And I didn’t die.
I set a goal back in June to lose 100lbs by the same time next year. If I expect to achieve that goal I’m going to have to keep this up, and I know that.
Besides, I want that fucking little doctor off my ass.
I dislike medical professionals in general. I’m doing the best I can. Why are they never happy with that??

This woman is just awful. And I honestly think the one med she’s got me on is causing more trouble than it’s worth. I’m going to talk to my psych doc and my therapist about it tomorrow.

Everything that is wrong with me physically is related to my weight. I know this and have known it for a long time but we celebrate or commiserate with food and I’m no slouch. But the day after my birthday, I decided I wanted another one so I’m working harder than ever to get a grip on it. I haven’t had coffee in several days either but don’t miss it so much when it’s hot. My birthday dessert was enough to put me in a comma. I’m keeping good thoughts for both of us to succeed this time. Your cartoon says it all. Hang in there.

We can definitely do this, we just might not enjoy it. 😉
