I must be the only person gaining weight while on chemotherapy.I went to the doctor this morning, again sick with a cold, fluid behind the ears. Willard is much sicker than me, he's been sick for over a week. He refused to go to the doctor to began with. You know how most people are, we always think we'll get better, but instead we get worse and worse off.
Well, to get back to the weight gain, I have gained 14 pounds in two weeks. UGH, I feel like a complete failure when it comes to trying to lose weight. Of course, you can't lose weight and eat all the time like I had been doing lately. I stay hungry, the chemotherapy is taking so much from my body, that I stay hungry all the time. And me with no self-control at all, gives in to my urges every single time. Will you please pray a prayer for me that I will have greater strength to control my raging appetite.
When I went shopping at IGA this morning. I noticed a woman who seemed as if she could hardly walk because she could not breathe. I felt sorry for her and was wondering what was wrong with her. As Willard was going to the checkout line, I decided to go get the medicine from the drugstore. As I walked outside I saw the woman again sitting in her car. She was huffing and puffing on a cigarette. It kind of reminded me of when I was smoking. I remember, I had every excuse under the sun, to not quit smoking. I remember excuses like it's just allergies, it's a cold, anything and everything were my excuses. I'm glad that God finally made me look at the truth. I quit smoking cold turkey approximately 15 years ago. People used to say how hard it was to stop smoking. But with God's help, and I know it was only by God's help that I quit. I did quit. But not before causing irreparable lung damage to myself. So I will say to you smokers out there. Stop the excuses, admit that the those cigarettes are causing you lung damage. And for God's sake quit smoking.
Until next time God bless and God save.
