Anyone ever get sick of being their own science experiment?????
I really get the shits with overthinking every so often. Things that "before" you would never have thought twice about doing, eating or cleaning your house with now make you second guess a lot of t...
If I as much as LOOK at food I put on weight. I live with a very sedentary 87yo who eats far more than I do, and who moves far less than I do. Yet he never puts on a pound. I'm trying to lose weight because it's a risk factor in developing a number of cancers, inc bowel. I have an elevated chance of having that due to a gene mutation. Plus I feel better in my skin, and about myself if I am lighter. But I am tired all the time because I don't sleep well because of the hot flushes, which I have severely because of cancer treatment. I'm also often fatigued from Letrozole. Which I'm taking to stop the effing BC from coming back. It's a f*****g Catch 22. I'm doomed to failure. The energy required to maintain the mental discipline to NOT put the sugar in my mouth is massive. I can only ever manage short bursts. While cooking 'normal' food for my fast metabolism growing kids & inlaw. It is SO hard. And then I succumb to temptation. And then I'm consumed by guilt. Which makes me stressed. Which is also bad for my health. FFS you can't win! Breast cancer is a right royal total and utter mind and body f**k. GARGHHHH!
