Weight Rollercoaster
I know I've complained about my medications. There's a lot to complain about. What I'm struggling with currently is weight loss. I'm taking three medications that have weight gain as a side effect. It doesn't happen overnight...it creeps up on you. Since going back on medications the last time I gained roughly ten pounds. That's not counting the 12 pounds I lost on Weight Watchers the last time. And so I begin again on Weight Watchers. I started in January doing Weight Watchers Online. I've managed to lose ten pounds, but that's not counting the two pounds I gained in the past two weeks. I work out five to six times a week in addition to never using all of my flex points. And yet, if my weight from cheating this morning and weighing myself holds, I've lost only ten pounds in three and a half months. My goals are flexible, but ambitious. By my count I've got about thirty more pounds to lose. At the rate I'm losing I figure it will take me until next January to lose it. But I'm willing to stick with it...for my health, and for my own personal sense of satisfaction. With the weight gain that my meds cause, I look forward to continuing to struggle with the ever sneaky weight gain. But I've lost thirty pounds before...my first time on Weight Watchers...and I will lose forty this time. It may take me two years, but I will not give up.
