Hi guys,
I am 33 and well....fed up with doctors..
I have been through everything from MRI's to being told to get more exercise.
By the way, I treadmill and lift band flex regularly. I guess they thought I was lying? (oh yeah I guess I should warn you I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor), might not want to have any liquids in ur mouth near the puter while you read this)
I am not a big complainer but you just KNOW something is wrong!!!! You know what I mean?
Well I went off a low carb diet when I got married and got huge. Literally like a 40 lbs gain in a year.
I am 6ft and way overweight...(don't ask! Don't tell?)
But my fat isn't like solid fat, it isn't in only certain places... It's all over me.. My arms wave like I am just full of water.. My best friends kid commented that my arms are flappy. THEY ARE... lol
I do 40-80 crunches a day!!! Religiously! I have not given up! My stomach is solid steel you could bounce a babe in a loin cloth off of IT, but there it is, this layer of wavy watery fat just sitting all over me...
inches thick... It's like I bought a water suit on eBay and the powers that be won't let me take the damn thing off.
God forbid I get my period and bloat... Lmao talk about beached whale... We live on that water and it's just horrible... (I have an incredible bikini collection too dammit!)
I can literally flick any part of my skin and watch the wave ride.. I can nearly bench press my body weight and there are large flaps of wavy, watery fat hanging from my arms.. I mean it's just horrible. I DON'T DO ROIDS IM NOT ON THE PILL, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
So its edema, PROB FROM
food allergy right? ... CLEARLY, If I push on it hard little holes stay in me... LOL
I am thinking either potatoes or wheat so I am fasting to get this stuff out of my system and starting all over without the things that it could be..
We went through two bags of potatoes last week and a bag of cherries... Apparently that is horrible... Something about birch? Oh yeah hubby ate some of that I am in control of my portions etc...(incase you were going to bit*h at me for 2 bags of them) I eat more calories than most people but not by much and I am 6ft... I workout...
So I am not going to be a 1500 calorie a day chick anyway..
I don't eat
Sugar daily, nothing like that.. Not even weekly... Yada yada yada Maybe its allergy to carbs? Is that a thing?
Symptoms'
I absolutely cannot lose weight unless I fast... Well duh when I get off it I am putting whatever I am allergic too back in..
I get yeasty easily!!!! Oh yeah.... Real fun for the hubby there... Not to mention my cooty!!!!!
I bruise sooo easily... If I take an aspirin or two for a hangover headache whatever I bruise even worse. So easily I find myself getting the battered wife lecture at the beach.. Can you imagine? To the point where a simple finger touch leaves a mark and it looks like someone splattered round drops of purple paint on me. I am active... I mean jet skiis, volley ball, boating, skiing, climbing in and out of boats, and walking around the neighborhood etc... Dogs... Swimming.. Its not good for an active chick to bruise this easily.. I am not a hemophiliac, my iron is fine...
My body temp has been low(sometimes) and I thought I was hypo but I am not... Thyroid fine (flipping great)
Had MRI and that came out just dandy-not pituitary or gland issues... No giant syndrome or whatever...
A spider bit me about two years back and after a year of sporadic elephant man swelling all over me & under feet, on arms, round raised wheeled swelling, and sausage lips and eyes closed once, it finally stopped. Doc gave me some adrenaline to carry around with me. (thanks as*&ole! Don't go out of your way or anything!) I couldn't recover the spiders carcass because of course the ONE time someone decides to help me with housework they toss out the soda pop lid I had him in!!!!!!!
But then I started getting like hay fever, thought I had a cold that wouldn't go away but Allegra usually knocked it out.. After two weeks or more of suffering mind you... (LMAO more tissues than a freakin forest could make... (Carmex is my friend, I bought stock) Never had an allergy in my life... Did the spider cause all this? Sure didn't help!!!!! Damn the spiders.. Damn them to Haiti!!
I have days where I just can't stay awake.. I work from home so I upped my workouts because I thought maybe I was lazy, ok I know I am lazy, but I do exercise regularly aside from just cosmetics (crunches, pushups and lunges) and that just wasn't the case. (by lazy I mean if I could sleep 12 hours a day I seriously wouldn't mind so much) No more energy unless I am eating absolutely no carbs or fasting... If I fast I don't even need sleep,... Not more than two hours anyway, great for writing books and running the business, but will I keep the sanity? (is it too late for the latter?)
My periods knock me out.... I mean just done... Not all of them but every other one or so will be a HORRIBLE! I don't even answer the phone and tell people I hate them when they knock on my door, I have had kids parents knocking on my door cussing me out after their kids tried to sell me whatever it was that the schools don't have enough money for despite my lottery ticket purchases, and I just lay there carrying 20 more lbs of water. (I'm not exaggerating) Periods only last one or two days though,.... So I thought you know maybe it was other things. Chick things, gland things,tumor things, hormone things... Bla blah blahb akhvbgos!!!
Yes I have binged on chocolate or ice cream on the occasional Sunday, but who the hell doesn't? It's never more than a couple times a year... Nothing crazy...
That shouldn't make me "the whaler" as I affectionately call my water suit.
Oh yeah I feel tingles sometimes... Like things are crawling on me but nothing is there. And no I am not psychotic...(INCASE YOU WERE WONDERING) Feels like things are landing only on my legs... Not daily or anything but it's spooked the hell out of me many times before... (no I don't do drugs... Well ok not any serious drugs and not out of a once in a blue moon party type thing. Overshare?)
Sometimes my feet tingle in the shower, like they are falling asleep.
Heart palps when I turn on my side. (Hawthorne berry?)
Blood pressure is perfect, cholesterol is perfect
My hair is thin, and I poop more times a day than anyone should ever have to... (thank you again Carmex!) Literally can be 8 or more... Even 12... Unless of course I am not eating or only eating proteins on a low carb diet.
My skin can get really dry but seems fine now.. Note to self: there IS a razor in the shower, use it...
So...
Sounds familiar anyone?
Anyway I am on the morning of day three, down 10 lbs maybe 11 I have been slamming water. I am drinking coffee in the morning (not a lot maybe 2 cups), basically because it cleans you out.
I know how is it possible to lose so much in such a short time? I have been carrying around all this water so long. Just a nightmare..
I am taking a vitamin with a spoonful of peanut butter and drinking some green tea to get my electrolytes... other than that it's a lot of water...
I feel great. Sleeping only about 4 hours a night. cleaning, singing, getting all my shipping done before 11am.
My body wants this so badly.
Thanks for the support guys.
