WEIGHT LOSS
This is the continuing story of my weight loss. Since I've now been officially diagnosed with IBS, at least I know what I'm dealing with, not that I can do a thing about it. So I had chronic diarrhea for almost 3 months to the day - just like when I got hit with it in 1997. It's a devastating ailment and nothing can be done. Oh, they put me on medicine to try to curtail it and cut down on the spastic colon part, which seems to stimulate the movement in the intestines, but nothing really helped. It just ran it's course. Not even eating certain foods seems to make a difference, although I haven't had any dairy, which seems to help with bloating.
THE ONLY GOOD NEWS! I now weigh 125 lbs.! It's astounding really because I've lost it without exercising. Many people would say that's not good, and it probably isn't, but the weight's gone now and I vow that it won't return. Bob has lost weight too and we're both weighing ourselves every single day. It's motivational actually. If we're down, we feel great about it and want to lose more. If we're up, we're motivated to cut down on intake until the weight is gone. It seems to be working. We're drinking a lot of coffee too, though, as it seems to make us less hungry.
I'm excited because I haven't been this weight since about 2000, seven years ago, so it's really amazing. I have been losing little by little, if you read this entire blog, but it has been slow at times, and when we travel, we ultimately put on weight, so we'll have to be careful when we hit the road again. I should get my picture taken so I can post it and see the difference. Unfortunately, sometimes it really doesn't show in photos, so we'll see.
