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 13

Breakfast: Ensure Plus (350c) with benefiber (terrible idea- it doesnt dissolve in this, so i ended up drinking chunks of crap. very gross)
Lunch: -none-
Snack: two slices colby jack (160 c)
Dinner: cheddar rice cakes, two slices pepperjack cheese. (250c maybe)
Snack: none
Extra: two glasses dr pepper. (300c)

Exercise: none today. with how my heads been killing me i haven't been able to eat and didn't want to burn the calories.

Total Calorie Count: 1060. fail again.

Awesome Thing of the Day: cinemagic channel on XM. i was driving and love listening to the movie scores on this channel, so i flipped to the station and "be careful it's my heart" sung by bing crosby came on. (from holiday inn- only my FAV movie) i almost melted and passed out in the car. i was THAT happy. a one in a million shot that i would hear that on the radio- less, maybe 10 billion to one. definitely made me the happiest girl alive.
