Suffering = Success?

I am about 10 days from my first fill and my weight loss is moving right along. I don't feel like I am working as hard as before the fill and I can truly eat two meals a day and be good. But...I have this nasty mouth issue that I have now confirmed to be something called ketosis. Sounds scary but apparently it happens when you do not eat carbohydrates and your body is forced to burn fat for energy, rather than sugars. Sounds great huh?

Not so much. This might be TMI...or pretty gross, but here I go. My tongue is raw and sensitive and often coated with a white film. My mouth tastes like I have been sucking on pennies. Part of me is like ARGHGHGHGHGH and the other part of me is like YEAH - suffering = success.

But does suffering equal success? Or is this another hangup I have to get over as I quit my role as the chronic dieter and move toward weight loss success? And how many other things would I put up with in order to drop a size or two or three or ten?
