Kicked in the gut

So have you ever experienced this? I am about to tell you a story that I bet you can relate to in one way or another.

I go get my physical checkup,  labs drawn, questions answered (both ways).

I get my results and my doctor wants to recheck some of it. My liver enzymes are elevated some, (must be the great wine! Thank you Hubers).

So I go back a month later, get it rechecked, and he calls me with my results...... they are still elevated. The problem with having a cancer diagnosis hanging over you is that you can never get away from it. They are elevated from my medication that I have to take because 1. for cancer, and 2. because the aromatase therapy that I was on decreased my bone density so much I had to come off of that and go back on tamoxifen.

Can I say that this sucks! OH,  it gets even better.

So the way to decrease my liver enzymes and improve fatty liver, my doctor told me to do more exercise and lose weight! WTH! (sorry, but this pisses me off). I know I have gained weight since cancer 8 years ago, and I have been exercising, trying all the diets and programs with no luck, but really! Lets have a little heart and give me the blow a little easier. I am on Noom now and have lost some weight since my check up, but did he ask me about that? NOOOOOO.

Ok my rant is over. But the struggle is real as you may know. You don't have to have a health issue to know if the struggle is real on weight loss and being healthy. But I have to tell you, KEEP A POSITIVE MIND AND SPIRIT. Don't let anyone tear you down with their words. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. The only person you have to impress is yourself. 

I keep pressing on, each day. I push myself because I know that I WILL reach my first small goal of losing 15 pounds and I am close. It just takes me a little longer. And I feel better and more confident of what I accomplish.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

Love to all,
