I woke up this morning and noticed my face was so round. Well, I started reading the side effects of my medication that I'm taking and it turns out the big side effect if taken more than 14 days is weight gain! I'm on steroids, and have been on them since 1/17/08. So that explains the weight gain.

 

Although I haven't made the right food choices, I was a little shocked that I had gained so much, because I never have in the past while not making the right food choices. So, I was a little depressed. Well this weekend I did really good with eating, and still gained another 3 lbs. Then I noticed my face looked distorted this morning. So I started researching the medication I'm on. Well, not only am I takig orally steroid, I'm also putting steroid drops in my eyes, so needless to say, its causing a weight gain. I should be off of it all by the end of this week.

 

Scale this mornng was really ugly 186.2. I do think once I quit taking the steroids I will start losing.

 

Okay menu today

1 egg

2 slices of turkey bacon

 

Mid moring

cup of coffee w/cream

 

Lunch

salad

dressing on side

 

Dinner

ground hamburger
