So I ate my body weight in finger foods and booze. Am I disappointed? Slightly. Devastated enough to throw in the towel? Never. I really feel like I've come way to far to give up now. To be honest, I'm way more concerned with the stabbing pains that I woke up with, just around my lower abdomen region.
For the last few months, I've been battling what most women in their "child bearing" years battle with, especially if they don't have any kids... You guessed it... Ovarian Cysts. So a few months ago, I found myself in the emergency room, keeled over in pain. Apparently, one of these cysts had burst. Now, being that Google and WebMD has made me a civilian expert on everything and anything having to do with reproductive health, it is my civilian opinion that I had another episode of a burst cyst. Did I mention I've had my period for 3 weeks straight? My body is totally out of whack now. All I can do this think about how getting rid of these extra LBS would really alleviate my cystic situation. It seems that every site that I went to to research my problem, all had a common thread......being overweight is a contributing factor to the risk and likely hood of developing ovarian cysts. Something about hormones being stored in fat, and carrying extra fat, and hormones and cysts...and yada, yada, yada...
Bottom line is this.... Living with the constant threat and worry of not only developing cysts, but having them BURST and cause intense pain, basically whenever they feel like...really sucks. Ask any women you know how bad it is when you have an ovarian cyst burst....it's HORRIBLE!
So on that note (as I sit here high on Viccodine for some pain relief from my fat induced ovarian cyst), this is just one more motivating factor to continue to loose weight. Life really does suck when you are a slave to a medical condition.
