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 69

breakfast: ensure plus (350c)
lunch: half ribbon fry, half funnel cake, lemonade (crazy like...~850c easily)
dinner: hamburger, bread, condiments. (500c)
snack: hersheys with almond (210c)

total: 1910

well, today was my first day back...and i decided to treat myself to some ribbon fries and funnel cake which i'm sure i'll pay dearly for. not the greatest calorie day...but the grease from the fries/cake made me feel so sick to my stomach for HOURS (a big factor in why i don't eat like that anymore). tomorrow i know will be better though; still trying to get my bearings from the stress of travel on my body.
