I'm My Own Worst Enemy

I received my gift of life (heart transplant) over two years ago. I've beendoing exceptionally well. I have a cyst on my face that's being managed with antibiotics. My last appointment with the transplant team was back in March. The doctor suggested for me to lose weight. I haven't done so and my next appointment is on the 15th. My phlebotomist comes on Monday to draw my blood. I haven't necessarily gained weight, but I haven't lost any either.

The way I can see it is you can be your biggest ally or your biggest saboteur. Before my transplant I balooned up to 307 lbs from poor diet and water retention and poor diet. I am currently 227.5 lbs. I reached 205 lbs shortly after my transplant. I know what I'm doing wrong. I'm putting junk into my body that I shouldn't and I know what I have to do, but it can be hard at times. I don't think about the long term, I think of the now. I'm holding myself accountable.

I have to do this for myself and I also owe it to Buster. I don't know who my donor is so I call him/her Buster.
