Ok, can I jump on your fat band wagon? I HATE the way I look in the mirror! I hate it! Sure, people that didn't know me before tell me they could never picture me fat...well...I'm STILL fat! Thank God for scrubs I suppose! I can't wait for P2 in January! It seems that I can't really eat anything different or I gain. I WILL eat dressing at Christmas....PERIOD! I might not eat much...but I will eat it.
My high protein day didn't work yesterday. I had a small amt of popcorn at the movie (BlindSide...go see it!) and now, I'm totally bummed from the gain because I didn't eat that much. I never add anything new...NEVER. I dont' care to have most of it anymore, but every now and then....
I really don't know if I'll ever continue to be stable until I get my hormone issues resolved. I suspect that will require surgery and yankin' out some unneeded female parts. -
Well, I just found out that the IUD I had put in in Sept may be the cause of the bloating/wt gain! That's just what I need! Peri-menopause SUCKS!!

OH...the IUD. Especially the Merina one with progesterone. REALLY made me gain weight. My Dr. said too (slim young lady with no previous weight problems EVER) that when she had it put it in, she gained 20 lbs almost immediately!! I think IUDs do it for some women that's foresure! -
Uggghhhhhh!!! My Dr. even knew that I was on this diet and had lost weight on it! We were just trying to stop the non-stop bleeding. Sounds like it's time for a hysterectomy whether I like it or not!
I've been being SUPER good with my food...I just feel horrible, headaches, bloating, extremely sore breasts and I cry if you say my name! Now, this isn't good for someone that is stressing as it is! Will I ever feel "normal" again? I don't even remember what normal is to be honest. Ok, so I'll accept abnormal AND skinny!! -

Amy, I don't know if it was me you were asking about starting after Thanksgiving, but I'm gonna answer anyway! lol
I am actually starting the day before, just because it's my hubby's birthday and we'll be going out to eat, so I figured with that and then Turkey Day, the loading would be a no-brainer!
Lisa, I had the Mirena and actually spotted the entire time I had it in! I had pain with my period, that would end, then a week later I would start ovulation pain which lasted for about a week, so really, all in all I had about 7-10 pain-free days during the entire month. So, I had a hysterectomy, taking everything except one ovary. Now, as far as pain goes, I am pain free most of the time...sometimes the ovary decides not to release an egg one month, so no pain at all for that month. If I do ovulate, the pain only lasts about 24-36 hours tops. Soooooo much better! Plus.....NO BLEEDING!!!
I have never regretted it! The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner! Like right after my last baby was born! But nooooo, I had to go and wait 18 months! hehe -
Oh the IUD talk. I had one put in September right before I started the diet so I don't know if I would have gained weight but I did when I was on the depo shot a few years back. My body is still adjusting to the IUD and when I was in P2 I would spot then it would go away for 2 weeks and come back but I always lost the most weight when I started spotting again. Which leads me to P3 and P4. I don't know if I am done spotting but my appetite seems to ramp up and I retain water but I really don't get a TOM anymore. Oh birth control.
So weekends are hard and I still have a lot of emotional eating and body issues to work out. I am in a vicious cycle of eat, feel guilty, maybe eat some more and now I am way above my LIW. I am working on it. Coming up with a new game plan. It is hard to jump from P2 which is so strict to P3 which is eat a ton of protein to P4 maintenance. I wasn't counting calories before on P3 but I need to now. Especially since I want to start eating bread and ice cream again.
Basically I need to do something manageable for the rest of my life. And I need to stop obsessing and beating myself up over this small stuff. Thanks for listening to me vent. -
Poor Lisa :( I freaking HATE hormones (besides HCG anyway). I'm going through a hormonal FUNK from hell, if it makes ya feel better. I took depo-provera for several years and came off of it in June. I took it because I had monster demon periods from the pits of hell. I haven't gotten a period yet... but it's coming. I can already feel it. I've had cramps even, and the mood swings, OMG. I'm in a DOWN swing today too so the fam better watch out. What about this Lisa? http://www.novasure.com/ I'm about to research it myself. I was told it's wonderful. I don't want a hysterectomy EVER after what I've watched some of my friends go through. I'm all about finding surgery alternatives!!!
Speaking of surgery alternatives... YALL... the sinuses are funky again =( I called my doc begging for another round with prednisone because that actually helped TONS and I was draining. It's at a standstill a month later. Hasn't moved. Doc refused to give me more steroids, said they are bad for me, called me in a 2 week round of keflex, and told the nurse to tell me that "it doesn't look good" for me... like I better go ahead & schedule my surgery. Like this was it - all he would do for me. I'm hoping to get a second opinion. I don't have deviated septum but something is causing my sinuses to swell where they aren't draining properly. I can't be doing surgery. My sick days & vaca would be GONE.. not to mention that I don't want to piss any lawyers off by not being there when very much needed. Hard times for all right now - and we are so busy. We have twice the workload we did 2 yrs ago (legal secretaries) and I don't want to jeopardize my job. If anyone has experienced anything similar and has any suggestions... I'd appreciate them.
Back on topic. Daughter's birthday - a BLAST! I was still within my 2lbs the day after the party, but this morning, go figure was up ANOTHER THREE. Protein day. I'm sure it will help, it always does. I think I need a protein week besides Thursday lol!
Shrinkingmama, have a blast with those loading days =D You timed it well sister!!! -
amy - have you tried naturopathy medicine?
-
Lisa - novasure is the ablation I had, works wonders.
-
Mama Maui -- What exactly is naturopathy medicine? Like health food store things? Echinacea? (sp?)
And I'm personally glad to hear that about the novasure!!! I'm planning on talking to my OBGYN at my appointment on the 15th about it. Did it stop your cycle entirely? Did it take away your MOOD SWINGS (important to me!) ... Was it painful at all?
