OWWWWWWWW

Okay, so here's my confession. Last night I went out with some coworkers for drinks... I had two vodka tonics. And then I got hungry so I gave in to temptation and had a nice juicy cheeseburger with fries. Now, if my only punishment were the scale, I'd probably be tempted to do this again. However, rewind to a few weeks ago. I was in deathly pain shooting up my right side, my whole stomach cramped up. Ouch. Well, both my parents have had gallbladder issues, so my mom thought that it was for me too. Luckily, I was able to overcome the symptoms and learned that removal is not always the best solution.

So, continuing with my story... this morning I woke up with that throbbing piercing, shooting pain in my right abdomen under my ribs, shooting up to my right shoulder. A quick google search revealed that this was indeed a gall bladder problem. And it said that removal of the gall bladder does not gaurantee no more of these "Attacks" or pains. Guess what it said I have to do? CHANGE MY DIET. I think that this was a huge wake up call to me, that I absolutely HAVE to stick to plan from now on. That sucks right? But seriously the pain was bad. I called in sick to work, which I never do. I took an Advil PM and slept all day. The pain has dulled quite a bit. So, moral of the story: Don't Cheat!!!

Oh, good news, I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow at 3:30. Hopefully, I am able to make my work schedule work in favor of this. And, of course hopefully this attack is completely gone. Bah. That's what happens to me when I cheat. I'm thinking I'll be much more motivated in the future to stay on track.
