So angry at my body

staceybr01

So not all of this has to do with diet and weight loss, so I apologize, but I need to rant (and feel sorry for myself a bit)....

I am SO ANGRY at my body. Every time that I truly commit to diet and exercise I get sick. Its not like I starve myself or take diet pills, or do anything dumb, but it feels like my body just revolts! Its only been two weeks of trying really hard to eat right and exercise, and now I have the freaking flu! (and hello, it is september, NOT flu season). I keep trying to push myself to get in a little exercise (not fun when your head is spinning and you are coughing) and I am trying to eat right, but all that I can stomach is potato and bread products. and to make it worse, I still havent lost ANY weight!

Over the last year I have had so many colds and sinus infections, I get migraines, I have a stupid sleep disorder that requires me to get more sleep than most people (which is always so possible when you work full time and are a full time student), and I was diagnosed as having freaking tuberculosis! (because apparantly it is still the 1700's and people still get freaking tuberculosis). However, they couldnt actually TREAT the tuberculosis because my stupid LIVER wouldnt process the medications, so I have to just "cross my fingers" and hope I dont ever get tuberculosis symptoms!

THEN, as if I werent annoyed at my body enough already, I just found out today that I am going to have reproductive problems due to an "abnormal uterus", which means that I am likely going to have to have surgery and then be on all kinds of hormones. ADDITIONALLY, this particular type of abnormality has been correlated with KIDNEY problems, so now I get to follow up with a kidney doctor.

I know that none of these things are "really serious" (e.g. life threatening), but I am just so FRUSTRATED. Why can't my body just work for once??


(thank you, I feel a little better now)

I understand your sinus frustrations mixed with migraines or headaches. I have recently found relief by using a nasal xylitol solution you can buy in vitamin or health stores or off the internet if you google it. It has kept me sinus infection free since using it, I sleep better and breathe easier and exercise easier as well. I used to have chronic (non-stop) sinus infection and now I breathe easily. it does mean that I am usually blowing my nose in a serious way 3-4 times per day. It is part of the 4 months process of getting Gunk out of your system. You could google it and see if it is for you. The dr that developed it (homeopath?) is out of Texas and once you buy the spray, you could make your own as it is a simple sugar mix.

WOW Id be frusterated too. Its hard to eat right all the time especially when your sick. Dont throw the towel in, youll benifit in the long run.
