You look so Good!

"You look so Good!" "You are doing so well" "You must be doing so much better, you look great!"

First...thank you prednisone, but I'm over 50 lbs heavier than what I use to be. I need to lose at least 30 of it to be in a "normal range"...my hair falls out, my nails are brittle, I get bruises if you look at me wrong and my face keeps breaking out...I know I don't look great! But, yeah, I know that's all physical.

What you don't know is how hard I work to not LOOK like I FEEL all the time. I feel like hell. I'm tired. I'm in pain. I'm nauseous quite a bit. I can't lift a gallon of milk to put it into the fridge. I can't lift the jug of Tide (or whatever I use) to wash clothes. I have trouble getting out of bed by myself on some mornings. Getting dressed in the morning exhausts me before I ever leave the house.

BUT...I LOOK GREAT! So, I must be doing better. Right?
