Holy Smokes - where is all this hair coming from?

Aug 04, 2010

Well it happened this weekend.  My hair began falling out by the handfuls.    Even though I thought I was prepared, it was pretty alarming to find all of this loose hair in my hands in the shower, and in the sink and all over the counter after I dried it.  My hair is only chin length - but there still seems to be lots coming out!  Its taken a long time to get it this length so I'm going to try not to cut it shorter.  I only hope that there are no rogue bald spots that appear over time....... 

Even though I know that nothing is going to make it better but time, I bought the expensive "thinning hair" shampoo and conditioner from my hairdresser - it must have tea tree oil in it as it makes my scalp tingle.  No difference from my regular shampoo that I can see.  I can only hope that this phase doesn't last forever......... 

On the plus side I had my two month check up at Guelph and they seemed happy with my progress.  I'm down 47 lbs - I want to lose 100 overall and the nurse and nutritionist both warned that it may not be a realistic goal.  I thought getting down to a BMI of 25 was realistic...... I guess they'd be happy with me just being "overweight".  I guess time will tell.

I'm having intermittent problems with various foods - pasta doesn't sit very well, or bread.  It seems easier to just bring them up rather than fight the discomfort of waiting to see if it will go down.  Gross.  I need to learn to only eat, as its when I'm trying to do two things at once that i have problems......
