Fed Up with Being Fat

(formerly "AvoidinReality"...I feel that name does not represent me as I travel on this new journey.....now I am a phoenix rising "fromtheflames"!)

I've reached my breaking point! After years of hovering around the 235/230lb mark (at only 5ft tall), I started to feel the "tightening of the belt". I will not allow one more pound on this body! I control my body, it does not control me!

08/20/12 - 235lbs
09/01/12 - 230lbs
09/10/12 - 226lbs

Thank you for your comment on my migraine blog. I also both Topomax along with Zonicimide. (The Zonicimide you take before going to bed and Topomax in the morning.) It was later discovered that about 80% of my migraines were caused by my cervical spine. I had surgery to fix part of the problem with my spine. The other 20% of my problem has recently been treated by having a radio frequency ablation (RFA). I hope the RFA works! It has only been 10 days since the procedure.
