Today's Revelation
As I was mopping the floors this morning I was thinking about something that was said on that EWTN (Barren and Blessed) show yesterday. The dr. talked about how some women are told to lose 10% of their body weight and that somehow helps with pregnancy. That is not the first time I've heard that and I've been unsuccessfully trying to lose the five pounds I gained this winter plus the other 13 lbs I put on at other times. Gosh....weight control has always been a battle for me. The thyroid pills do help...I just need to be disciplined. Also, the prog pills really made me crave unhealthy things....more carbs please! I love chips and ice cream. Sometimes I just need motivation....maybe I can use IF as a motivator? When I was getting married I lost about 15 lbs to fit in my dress and look great for the day. Haaa....it didn't stay that way. At that time, I counted calories and I worked out about four or five days a week (walking). I can not do Splenda or other artificial sweetners...I get migraines from them. So, that is one thing in the way. I can't drink diet pop either. hmmm....I guess this is something I can work on while I try to figure out answers to other concerns. Anything I can do to help huh?

THANKS! It helps to see that I am not the only one battling this. I have been starving all day and even ate an unhealthy meal at McD and thought what a loser I was to be succumbing to these cravings. I even told my husband the same thing this afternoon. I just started taking the hcg injections again last night and woke up starving and it has continued all day! I even ate all of the carrots I keep in my office fridge. I seriously need to lose more weight. I will pray for you in the regard!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I even bother dieting or anything when doing fertility meds. They always make me hungry and tired. Ugh! Just one of many battles some of us have to contend with when it comes to IF.
