Life After Diagnoses

I'm 24, and have realized that a sickness should not define you and your life. Instagram: gissellenatasia

Weight and health

Today I had my appointment with my doctor and I weigh 145.. My mom, of course, made snide remarks that I should stop eating unhealthy.. I eat extremely healthy but working out has been extremely rough since my joints become inflamed and swollen. I’m in excruciating pain and hurts to walk after one work-out.. I’m trying everything in my power to get back in shape, but it’s rough to do so with this damn condition!! I’m 5 feet and 3 inches so weighing 145 is too much.. Having to hear the rude remarks from family members does not help me whatsoever. Just had to vent, but hope all my amazing followers are doing great! ❤️💋

Relationships

You know, it's rough finding someone who understands your moods, the flare ups, and the bad days.. I recently broke up with my boyfriend because he said I was almost his dream girl.. Almost? He said "if you weren't sick with what you have, you would have been my dream girl and I feel like I want a woman just like you, just who is healthy." That of course hurt. People with our illness, or any illness for that matter, should never settle for what's there. They should strive to wait for that one person who deals with it all, understands, and yet, still finds you to be perfect even if your health isn't. What I had with my boyfriend was not a relationship.. It was a relationshit! Hope you all are doing well and have loved chit chatting with some of you (: love all my followers! ❤️💋

This is what 5 lbs of muscle looks like vs 5 lbs of fat. So don’t focus on your weight. Focus on what you’re made of.

[misskitkatcupcake-deactivated20]

Please also remember that fat surrounds your organs, its sits between the layers of muscles, its all over your hands and feet, its on your eyelids and ears and all those silly random places you dont think about.

When you look in the mirror and dont see an flatter stomach and you cant see where you are losing it from do not think its not happening because it is.

I wrote this little poem simply because I am annoyed that no one understands what I am going through unless I “look like i’m going through it”…

I always forget to look sick.

Oh, silly me.

I forget to stop smiling.

I forget to stop laughing.

I forget that I should have...

[natasiagisselle]

This is exactly how I feel when others say "well you don't look sick.."

Can’t sleep tonight. Too much joint pain so I’m just going to fade into the world of books right now 📘👓📖📚

Music 🎤🎶🎹

You know, music was my life as a child and the one thing I wanted to do with my life was sing. I competed in junior high, as well as high school and I was damn good at it. I was capable of singing in multiple languages and my lungs knew how to bellow out this sound from inside me.. I lost that voice and drive when my illness got worse and worse as the years passed by. My dreams of singing for 1000000+ people are gone.. A huge part of me has left my body, mind, and soul to where I don’t know who I am anymore. My energy is gone to where singing just takes too much out of me. I try and be strong for myself and my family, but honestly, I just go to bed at night and cry because I’m sick of being sick. I want my 5 year old self to come back and have big dreams of singing again for millions of people. It's nice knowing there are people out there with my illness who can truly understand the hardships of being young but Sick and not being able to act like their age because of the illness.. I'm 24 but my body makes me feel like I'm 83 years old.. Goodnight everyone! ❤️💋

Happy halloween!

Hello lovely people of the world!

Today is halloween!! This is my favorite time of the year only because I’m obsessed with everything horror so obviously this would be my favorite time of year! For once, I have energy today, maybe because I’m all excited to hit up Fright Fest at Six Flags! I don’t know who actually reads my blog posts, but whoever does, i hope you have an amazing Halloween and if there are people who have health issues and aren’t able to go out tonight, just know I’ll be in the same position as you at 8pm! By 8, I’ll be in bed, sipping wine, and eating candy! Everyone be safe and have a fun Halloween! 🎃🎉👻💋

College ❤️

I have been in college for 2 and a half years now, and I just want to finish already! I can't take 12 hours because then I'll fall into a flare up so all I can take is half of that. I know it must be frustrating for people who are in the same boat, but know that we will finish before we know it, no matter how long it takes. Plus, who doesn't want to stay in college as long as possible and hit up all the parties as much as possible? That's if, of course, we have the energy for the typical college party as well as homework, studying, grocery shopping, and other important things. Screw it, who needs to party?! Grab some wine and a good book and my night is set! I hope everyone out there reads this and knows that there are others who understand what you're going through. Happy #humpday everyone!
