One of the biggest issues I have in my life right now is that weight is falling off of me, literally. I have lost nearly 60 lbs since I had my daughter last year and 20 of it within the last month.
I apologize to the girls who struggle losing weight and I understand how pithy and annoying I sound, but this is real for me. It's as much of a struggle for me to gain weight and look and be healthy than it is for you to drop those extra pounds.
I've consulted with a Nutrition Specialist that works with our agency and I'm doing a program from My Pyramid. They classified me as underweight and are helping me hinder my metabolism. Weird.
Stefan would seriously like me to see a doctor and I will, if this doesn't pan out for me. I haven't been a size 4 since Jr High. My elbows are thicker than my upper arms. My underwear are too damn big right now. How sick is that. I've got zero energy BUT, I can't sleep. Yay me.
The questions I've gotten on a daily basis since the weight loss:
"Can't beat the anorexia, huh?" (From people I work with, it's just their humor.)
"Are you ill?"
"Who gave you those black eyes." Ha-apparently, I DID.
"You're face is sunken in, have you seen a doctor?"
"Are your hips supposed to stick out like that?" Thanks, Mom.
"Are you depressed? Is everything okay at home?" Nope, but is it ever?
So the general consensus is I'm a basket case. Which is hard to argue. And that being said basket case has led me to being Anorexic.
I'm not like, healthy skinny, I'm a good 20 lbs under my ideal body weight. I'm 5'10" and 117, which makes my ideal body weight fall between 139-173.
I was 150 after my pregnancy and I loved it, I looked healthy my face was filled out my legs and arms were strong, I had energy. Mass amounts of it, in fact. So yeah, I'm probably just making excuses not to see my doctor, when in reality I should've aired my grievances when I went in for the bacterial infection at the beginning of the month.
Just for fun, lets see what WebMD **Creating Hypochondriacs since 2005** has to say!
The results are in!
I have Viral Syndrome, Anemia (the most likely guess as there's family history and I was when I was pregnant) or Hyperthyroidism.. Which is ironic as a good friend and horrid ex both have said disease.
Going to figure out what the hell Viral Syndrome is.. Ciao.
