Health problems affect healthy habits.

It seems as though this is turning from a weight loss blog into a weight stable, self-indulgent, complaint blog.

Friday I had a procedure that was supposed to help my problems so that I didn't have to throw away the entire summer. Instead I got slapped in the face.

I was feeling great on Saturday, went to my mother's and did a little sidewalk sweeping while my daughter mowed Grandma's lawn and hubby worked in the yard a bit. Sunday, I started bleeding just a little. Monday, more bleeding, heavy cramping, and general discomfort. I'm keeping close tabs on how I feel, but when I tried to go walking tonight, I felt sharp pains and more problems. I've been told it could take up to 3 months to know how things will be after this procedure, but it sucks! I am going a bit stir crazy, I'm already eating so little that I can't cut my calories more so that I don't gain weight without the exercise, and now I am wondering if I will be able to do any of those things I planned this summer.

I still think this may be relevant information because I think if I eat more calories and reboot my metabolism, maybe I can cut the calories back down in a few days and manage to lose weight without exercise? I don't know. It has never worked for me to do only one or the other before. I do know some people who have been able to lose weight with just diet. I realize the focus is supposed to be health, but I just got all these new clothes, see, and I want to continue to fit into them. Aside from that, the last thing anyone wants is to make all this progress and then to backslide.

I suppose this doesn't help in the advice category. No recipes. No substitutions. No tricks of the week. Just frustration.
