Turning Point

I really need to get on the ball with this blogging thing. I enjoy writing but it's hard for me to sit down and write because so many things are happening with me right now that it's hard to put them all down. The last two weeks have been busy because the hubby's grandparents were in town one weekend and the next week my grandparents and aunt were in town for 6 days. Needless to say I am glad it's over. I am glad they came to visit but having people in the house for extended stays can become a little trying on my nerves.
Since our last talk about diets and whatnot, I decided to try an over the counter diet pill and boy was it working. In the first week and a half I lost 4 lbs and my appetite was suppressed to the point where I was only eating about 800 cals a day. I was loving it. However, a week and a half late I developed a sort of rash all over my midsection and back and it has gotten progressively worse over the last week and a half. It's nothing contagious or gross but the Dr. said it could be ezcema or an allergic reaction. My husband says the only thing I have changed was those pills so I've decided to not take them for a week in order to see if the rash goes away.
So far I am not fareing well. I have been eating everything in sight, candy and crackers at work, a little fast food here and there, more than a single serving of dinner. I am not happy about this turn of events. I really do not know what to do anymore and the days are getting closer to where I have to be in shape for ROTC.
Not sure how this is all going to turn out but I need to get back on the bandwagon and see a dermatologist about this skin irritation and get back on the diet pills or find another one to suppress my appetite so I can see some results by Christmas.
