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 56

Breakfast: brownies and milk (`500c lol) this is the first time i've had milk since i started getting really sick about 6 months ago. the doctors weren't sure if i was developing a lactose-intolerance because i was feeling sick after having milk, so i cut it out all together. i really used to love it though (like...seriously, two gallons a week for just me in my house) so *cross fingers* here's hoping.
Lunch: hamburger, pepperjack cheese, roll, pasta, olives, salami with gingerale (~700c)
Snack: sweetarts, rice cakes (~200c)
Snack: ensure plus (350c)

Total: 1750
