After being sick for so long, I finally have a name for my illness: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, otherwise known as P.O.T.S.

A cardiac condition that's stripped me of my health, weight (causing me to drop to anorexic weight), self confidence, friends, jobs and continuing my education.

My goals are simple: gain weight, be healthier, and get out more. Basically, get my life back!

I'm also hoping to spread some awareness on this little known condition, and to highlight the struggles of the underweight and people with "invisible illnesses."

day 31

Breakfast: Nutella Bread (~400c)
Lunch: breakfast cookies (homemade) (~400c)
Extra: tiramisu super late (~300c)

Total Calorie Count: 1000. sucky, i know. but i had an upset stomach from dinner last night until around dinner time, then i went to a wake and that pretty much killed everything. i'll do better tomorrow.

Awesome Thing of the Day: seeing some old friends- not how you ever want to (at a wake) but it was still nice to see them

i have a feeling today's going to be a pretty bad diet day. turns out either the dinner or the dessert last night made me very, very sick this morning (and all day so far) so my stomach's pretty upset and i'm trying to take it easy.
