Weightloss Crisis

So, I may have mentioned before that I was having trouble with my weight, yet never actually went into detail about it. It’s a long story, but I’ll try to keep it simple:

I’m quite a curvaceous cutie (not bragging, just stating facts) and standing at 5’5″ (65 in), my appearance often betrays my weight.  Comfortably, I weigh a healthy 165lbs (quite proud of this number), though to get into DEP I had to weigh below 160lbs.  I lost the weight and got down to 157lbs.  Yet, since getting into DEP, my weight’s been playing the indian rubber ball and has been bouncing all over the place, though never going back down toward 160lbs.  The heaviest I’ve been since DEPping in has been a whopping 170lbs.  Yikes!
Like everyone I had talked to about it, I was convinced it was water weight due to PMS and possibly being back up.  So, I’d been going the natural diuretic route with caffeine and water, with little success.  Yet, today, I had a rather frustrating conversation with my Leading Petty Officer.  Before today’s DEP meeting, I weighed in at 167lbs.  He pulled me to the side and brought out the bottomline: I lose at least 3lbs by next Thursday or I’m out of DEP.

Well, upon hearing such news, you could probably understand the frustration I felt.  I had forgone Thanksgiving just so I would avoid such an ultimatum (I ate, on Thanksgiving, I just didn’t gorge myself).  Yet, when I left the meeting that day, I did the best thing I knew to do in situations like this: I panicked and called my best friend, Kenny.  Like always, he managed to calm me down and he laid out some suggestions for a full body flush that included magnesium citrate and OTC diuretic.  My other friend, Brandi, also suggested a liquid diet and a brisk walk three times a day in conjunction to flush for the next week.

I’m super desperate at this point, so I’m willing to withstand a week of bulimia just to keep my standing.
