Unhappy How fat will I get?

I had to post a newer picture so you guys could see the "real me". I got a short haircut in anticipation of the fallout and i'm so fat........UGH

A little history... during all this "wait and see" period, surgery, waiting for chemo to start, i was stressing pretty bad. I was eating everything in sight so i cannot blame the weight gain on anything but "indiscretion".

My problem is, i'm 6' tall and my weight is, well, i cannot say what it is because the normal population wouldn't understand. Suffice it to say that my scale at home is pegged out, and i have to rely on the dr scale to know anything!

Introduce the steroids! I have been dieting since i started them on Monday! Slim fast meal replacements, tons and tons of water, soups & salads. That's it for me.

Do the steroids only cause weight gain because they stimulate you to eat? Or am i DOOMED???

(and yes, i'm a Yankee fan.. no snide remarks excepted)
