The Scoop On Poop

As I have said previously, I do have a terrible addiction to laxatives.  It has been a pretty big secret for many many years (although I have told one friend, my husband, and my mama).  Here it is in all it's glory.



It was gentle, overnight, and very predictable down to the hour in which I would need to plan on being near the John.  Now I while there has been some understanding, I've also heard, "They're so bad for you.", "Colon cancer is a killer.", and "What happens if you develop an addiction?".  Well, I DO know they're bad for me, cancer IS a bitch, and I AM addicted but hey, I love food way to much to be anorexic, I would rather die than make myself vomit, and don't enjoy math enough to calorie count all day.  After taking five to seven pills a day for more than half a decade it's not as easy to give up as soda so here I am, Day 5, sitting on my bed feeling like a bloated whale.  I've never wanted to take a dump so bad in my life...

Please understand, though, that while this withdrawl is kicking my ass - hard - I don't have the ability to back down from a challenge.  I mean it's a dare, right?  No exercise for me again today, but I'm here and I'm still IN IT!  I will finish and I will be glad I left my old habits in the dust.
