I first joined this site back in 2010. The summer of 2010 I lost 40lbs and it was an incredible experience for me! Unfortunately, it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing since then and I'm well behind of the game now. I'm ready to get back to, though, and I'm excited!
I was doing okay after that summer, not /as/ good but also not nearly as bad as I was before that experience. However, things have been a little rough recently so I've definitely spiraled back into my horrible eating habits. A good friend of mine lost his battle with brain cancer September 4, 2011 at the age of 20, and it was very difficult for me to come to terms with his passing. In February of this year I underwent surgery to have a kidney stoned removed, which ended up taking a larger toll on me physically than I had anticipated. In March I was diagnosed with depression, and since then it's been quite the rollercoaster. I was started on new medication, but they failed to note that I would have a rather violent and terrifying reaction when I took my migraine medication while on it. I ended up in the psych ward for the night.
So all of that has been fun! But I'm feeling better now, seem to have found a good combination of medications and am really enjoying being out of the parents house for the summer for the first time! I have a great job that I love, a stupendous new house/roommate, and am really looking forward to the future!
Thanks for listening
I'm back!
