A couple of weeks ago, everything went to hell. I found out my best friend of 17 years has stage IV colon cancer that has metastasized to her liver. My world sort of turned upside down and the depression hit me. Hard. I haven't been swimming (only three times this month so far), haven't been on the site, and eating just went to hell in a hand-basket. The struggle was real while I picked myself off the floor and dusted myself off. Today, we begin again. I've also received some pretty bad news about my own health. I have all the North American diseases that come with obesity, on top of all my other problems. I am pre-diabetic, high cholesterols and bad lipids, chronic inflammation (high C-reactive protein levels made in the liver), high SED rate, and a vitamin B-12 deficiency. I also have to have surgery to relieve the narrowing disc between my C5-C6 vertebrae, but it won't take place until next year (thank you Canadian Health Care System)- it's free, you get what you pay for. I have osteophytes (bone spurs) on these vertebrae as evidenced by the hump I've grown on my neck. I also appear to have done something to my left knee, I think my ACL. Anyway, I'm not complaining, it's just been difficult taking this all in. I feel like I just put very small drops in the bucket and that something keeps spilling everything I put in. I only have one month and two days of EI while I try to whip myself in shape. Wish me luck.

I have a headache. Why? Because I drank on Thursday at the premier of my friends movie.I don't drink, and I shouldn't because I'm on three different medications. I also made a total asshat out of myself. And it cost me 170 calories of nothing. And also, between me and my partner, $60 bucks we really can't afford right now. A total loss. Even though my calorie intakes were not bad this week, the content of food was ridiculous. I'm going to the pool, even with my headache, I think to punish myself for being bad. I'm not sure what the results of that will be. I don't want to weigh in. Yesterday I saw a great number, but today, not so much. I guess I'll have to weight in at some point though. Next week I start a temp job for 6 days, so I will have to be on track then. Hopefully swimming doesn't get the shaft because of work. I will do my best. To be continued....

It seems like progress, and I was excited about this, but then I found a journal entry (not on the site, from my actual journal) from a while ago where I record that my weight fluctuated from 182.6-185 lbs on a weekly basis. They might reflect my empty and full weight. So I'm no longer excited, as this may not really be a drop :(

So far I've just been keeping track of calories but not really paying attention to what I was eating. Now, there will have to be a content change. I hate low carb diets. I've had success with them in the past (when I was actually skinny and thought I needed to lose five pounds - man I wish I had those problems again), but I find low carb diets unsustainable. It's culturally unsustainable too, because I'm Bengali and rice is a staple for me.

Oh well. Nice try anyway. Yesterday I went over my RDI. I think because I realized I didn't really lose weight and this calorie counting thing is not really working. I suppose I'll have to change game plans, but I'm not quite sure to what at this point. I'm not giving up. I just have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what to do...
