This is me in January of last year.
There is quite a difference in what I looked like then and what I look like now. For one, I lost about 20lbs. I also stopped taking a steroid i've been on since my transplant which got rid of the "moon face" side effect.
And now the new me.
The weight loss wasn't due to anything I did on my part. Though when people comment on how much i've lost the truth of it is really less than glamorous. In fact, the other day I just finally lied to someone about how I lost the weight. People want to hear some inspirational story or something positive like, "I've been working out and eating less!" But the truth is I was taking a shot that seriously fucked me up. Constant nausea, especially in the morning, as well as no appetite and vomiting. I am the kind of person who tells the truth so I would tell people that the weight loss was purely accident and was due to begin sick.. they just give me an awkward "OH.." Guess it's better to sugar coat the story to make them feel better? Either way I am happy about the loss and I am trying to maintain the weight because I feel a whole lot better about myself. New beginnings.
