that I can't fix everything. And I've noticed that my most wonderful teenaged daughter is trying to develop those same personalities, trying to do everything and please everyone. This last episode of my breakout, only 3 weeks from the last one was I think my little straw that broke the camels back. I have to step back and realize that no matter what, I'm probably going to piss someone off, I'm probably not going to get to everything and do everything. And I'm going to (try) and walk away from those situations that give me the greatest anxiety and stress, because its costing me my health right now.
On a good health note, I bought a digital scale today, to hold myself accountable. We had a regular older scale that is in Lexie's bathroom but I figured if I bought digital that actually gave me a number, I couldn't fudge my reading. Plus I want to compare it to what WW says (I think I'm going to my first meeting again tomorrow night! wow) and see where I stand. Based on what Lexie's scale said last week and what this one said, I'm down 3.2 pounds. Not a bad start......
On another good note, I think the new meds I got are working better than the plan we had before. So far, the swelling in my lip is down considerably AND my hives are much more controlled. The biggest plus is that my lip has not started to blister!! YAY! If I can avoid a blister, it will make for a much nicer healing. I don't want to have to spend another 2 weeks waiting for my lip to heal from blistering, so I'm keeping a positive outlook that I might be spared this time.
