WI yesterday...

Well, WI in yesterday didn't go that great.  I was up 0.2 pounds.  Not too bad if you don't add the other 3 pounds I gained LAST week.  I am pretty much exactly where I started in August.  Argh.

I saw the Ear, Nose, Throat specialist again yesterday, and she said my polyps are bad enough that I should have surgery soon.  She gave me some strong steroid nasal drops to try while I am waiting for my surgery date.  I only had one dose and already notice a difference.  If this medication works, I might actually have the energy to REALLY focus on this whole weight loss thing.

I am pretty proud of myself for not giving up with all my constant headaches and fatigue, but it really is taking a toll on me.  Some days I can barely handle the work day and spending time with my family, and I need to go to bed at 8 or 8:30 just so I can function.  It just feels like I am missing out on so much in life.  I know losing weight will help too, but getting my sinusitis and polyps under control is the first step.
