Ultrasound
I got my ultrasound today, and guess what? It's a boy! (waay kidding... no way I"m pregnant) Apparently I'm full of hot air (gas) and they couldn't really see through it all. I have IBS and that makes me gassy. I might have to get a CT scan done to see what's going on and causing all this pain. I like that my doctor takes me seriously and wants the best for me. He knows me and Geo by name, and when I come without Geo he always asks about him. The nurses know us as well. It's a nice clinic, clean and organized. The clinic I work at is chaotic, but I like the chaos sometimes.
I got a scare today. I'm trying to lose weight on Spark People and they have this little tracker that breaks up the weight you are trying to lose into quarters. I started at 252, then it goes to 231, them 211 and ending at 170.I got past the 211 weight when I got down to 208. Now I'm 226 and almost back to the 231 quarter. I can't believe I let myself get this far. Now I really want to purge (and I'm burping up food anyway) and I have to stop myself. I can't go back to that. It's such a slippery slope back to full on bulimia. I have to do my exercises and start really walking again. I joined a couple challenges here and on Spark People and I'm going to do my best to complete them. One is a push-up challenge and the other is a walking challenge. I'm trying to walk for 20 minutes a day for 4 days of the week. I know I can do that. I may push myself further as the month goes on, but I don't want to start out too fast. All I know is that I *need* to get this scale moving in the right direction.

HAHAHA You are so funny Larissa made me laugh... ITS a BOY lol Well all my boys are full of hot air so hey the gas would make sense lol. Thats good your doctor isnt wasting time and listens to you... those doctors are very hard to find these days. Mine i think likes to drag her feet ... more of the lets wait and see approach which with my health going down hill thats driving me nuts!
It is so hard when we get on the scale and see numbers we are not happy with.... really try to challenge those negative thoughts. I dont want you to slip back into bulimia its such a rough road... i live it everyday ughhh it sucks! I need to get back to some healthy exercise too just so difficult with my health problems. I know you can do this.... you have the drive inside yourself and are very determined!
I hope the Dr gets to the cause of the pain and discomfort. I have colitis which is a cousin of IBS and have found that eating foods high in sulfur cause me problems. You might want to consider tracking and eliminating \"trigger foods\"
I hope the doctor finds out what is causing the pain. That too can hold onto weight. You will lose. You can do your challenge.
it\'s great that the doctor knows you and Geo by name.
OMFG i almost had a heart attack u lil smarty pants teeheehee glad ur Dr cares for u so well thats very rare these days! good luck hun u are doing fantastic :D xxx
