Weight gain

I'm a bit shocked actually!  I know that your family think they are being supportive and helpful and encouraging about the weight watchers thing etc, however, right now, you are having treatment for cancer and this will be followed by a period of recovery. Frankly, who cares what you look like?  You are here and alive and that's fabulous enough!!!  I have been through this too - most recently last Sunday with my brother who I know was trying to be encouraging but just ended up making me feel even more useless than I already did.  Your energy will return slowly -  one day at a time right now.  Your body will tell you what it needs - ice-cream to soothe the ulcers, sugar and starch for energy and bacon..... YUM!. As long as you (and your doctor) are comfortable with the way your body is functioning during its onslaught of chemicals. Sometimes, just being able to eat is a bonus.  And I had just decided, before reading your blog, that dinner tonight will be icecream for me. Why?  Because I feel like it.
