I look bigger in my bathroom

I know that don't make sense...but I do.
I have a very little bathroom...
I know I've lost tons of weight over the last year or so.
I went from 122 that I was at for years and still feeling so thin at almost 5'7"
to hating climbing on the scale to see the pounds dropping away....
Now I am 108 with my clothes on :(

No matter how much I eat I have kept losing weight.
My Dr told me that because of my COPD I was burning twice the calories to breathe.
So I started added powdered milk and instant mashed potatoes to lots of things I eat.

So I know I've lost a lot of weight.
And I could see that in the bathroom mirror along with the scales.
But standing at the plastic surgeons the other day with Mom.
Naked from the waist up I realized....in that room MUCH bigger then my bathroom
I realized just how bad I look. I look bigger in my bathroom. I was fooling myself

And I felt sick...sick that my Mom had to see just how thin I really was.
I guess I tried to tell myself , It didn't show so much in clothes and standing in a small bathroom.

I just cant imagine how I'd feel as a Mother to see this happening to my girls.
I'm afraid...and I know that all my family and friends are afraid.
I'm sorry I'm putting you all thru this. I hate cancer !!!

As far as the Drs. They were able to move up my appointment with the pulmonary specialist to the 5th of Aug...better then 3 days before surgery. I am on a standby list for a cancellation.
And late yesterday got the call there was a cancellation with the cardiologist today.
So I go there at 4;00.

justjenn, Elizabeth, and Renn...thank you so much for your input and support.
I know you girls know what I'm going thru right now.
I keep going back to read your blogs whenever I have a few spare minutes :)

  3. Debbi,I am trying to get through even if I can't read the comments. My heart breaks to see you so worried as I know we are all. I have been here for you since the day you were born and I will be by your side through this until you are well and back to your (PLUMP) 120 LBS again. I have gradually seen you and felt you when I gave you a hug that you were getting thinner so it did not me or bother me that you were thin. It's what inside is what counts and inside you have a kind and loving heart. hope you have good news from the cardiologist. Love you and I am here when you need me. Love you much---Mom
