    Oh well... good thing I have all my favorite peeps on my IG

    🥰

    There’s even some that have FR me there but not here. Or deleted me here and FR there. It’s.....almost like I’m “not good enough for their mfp friends list” or something.

    Thinking about stopping my meds I need to take for the next 10 years. It's been almost 7 months that I've been in remission and these pills give me NO quality of life. I rarely have days where I have energy and no pain. At this point it's quality of life over quantity. What's even the point of being here if I don't have energy to do anything and since I carry the BRCA gene, there's no guarantee it won't come back. I seriously don't know what to do. In a way I feel like I have to take them to stick around for my kids but What's the point if I feel like a *kitten* mom because I can't do much with them.

    Oh man, this has to be so freaking hard. 😔

    Is there any other medication they can try instead?

    Super big hugs to you.

    Unfortunately, those are the side effects of these meds, I've already tried 2 kinds and it's the same. I will give myself a chance and keep taking them another couple of months but if it doesn't get better I'm done with them.

    I weighed myself this morning and took another round of "real pics". Sigh.

    When I am standing up and flexing, it all looks pretty decent and I feel not bad. It's not where I want to be, but it's not horrible.

    When I'm sitting at my desk, I feel like I've gained a hundred pounds and loathe myself.

    I took these pics because I want to start again, and yet, I just have no faith in myself to follow through. And I know if I can't find that, it's just another false start that leaves me disappointed in myself.

    Plus.. I live in Canada, where I'm in a parka or hoodie 8 months of the year... And I'm single... So wtf does it actually matter what is going on under my clothes?

    I really need someone to help slap me out of this mental bs state I'm in. Any volunteers?

    I give great bum slaps, ask anyone.

    So, sidenote: I saw your pics today in the Mom Bod thread...along with your self-commentary there and now here.

    I don't get what you're seeing but do understand feeling like there's a disconnect with what's in the mirror vs our minds.

    To me, you exemplify what an actual kick *kitten* Amazon-type woman would look like!

    Perhaps don't talk yourself out of who you already are? 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Right now I think Canada is looking pretty fine. I am pretty happy here... apart from freezing my a** off most of the year. lol

    I spend way too much time watching what's going on in the US. I can't tell you how many times I've cried over the bs that is happening. Your northern friends really do care about what you're going through. <3

    *shrug

    We're fine..... but thanks for thinking of us. <3

    Im so sorry the effects of the meds have taken your quality of life.. what a cruel twist after all you've endured.
    Maybe a chat with your Dr to find and alternative ? Big hugs T 🤗 (I wish the hug emoji didn't have that grin) 🙄

    Less so when you call it "diablo rojo," it just sounds like a cute hockey fan then.

    Seems to me that if the state of Florida would put a bounty on pythons in the everglades they might eradicate them.
    Same with the Taku lizards.
