I'm really loving losing weight, don't get me wrong. And I wouldn't go back for anything. But I gotta admit, there are some downsides to it.
#1 Hair loss. I am losing a ton of hair. Now don't get me wrong, I do not have thinning spots and no one can probably tell that I'm losing hair...because I had SO MUCH to begin with. The problem I have with it is keeping up with it. Hair is everywhere. When I take a shower is the worst hair loss, but hair is all over. The biggest problem is when I go to vacuum. All the hair gets caught up in the rollers. After I vacuum I have to unclog the rollers. *sigh*
#2 Excessive Skin. I have extra skin, and this skin hangs. Which means that I get raw spots. Luckily I have found a new product that helps well. First, I had tried using deodorant but that didn't seem to help much. But I went to a merchant location that's a pharmacy and they sell this project named "Anti Monkey Butt." I know...weird name. That's actually what originally made me look at it. But this product works wonders.
#3 Hunger pains. When I used to get hungry, I was hungry. Pretty normal pain. Stomach or growl, get an empty feeling, and some pain. But now when I get hungry, and no just a little hungry but like OMG I haven't eaten in so long the pain is so bad. Like, sometimes hard to get up and walk kind of pain. Feels like I'm being stabbed. But, my stomach doesn't growl. So yes, I do my best to make sure that I am never that hungry.
#4 COLD. This is the worst by far!!! I am so cold. I mean cold, cold, cold, and umm cold. My husband and son run around our apartment in shorts and t-shirts. And me, I have on socks, pj pants, sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a sweashirt. All of that, and I sit under a huge warm blanket. I have pulled out my gloves on some evenings. I can't believe how cold I am. It's painful!!!
OK, all of that aside, I am down 60 pounds. The weight is coming off slower, but it is still coming off. And I'm seriously loving the compliments. :)
