Here We Go Again

Life has been pretty busy lately. Between school and work and having issues, there hasn't been a lot of time that I've been posting on here. I think it's been detrimental to me, so I wanted to post more. To warn you, this is going to be a bit of a rant, because I like to get stuff off my chest.

 

I am starting to realize that my body has a pattern - and I hate it. It only wants to lose weight while I'm on my period. Not good since I was hoping I could continue my birth control through and get rid of a few periods every year. I am not losing on weeks that I am not on my period - despite having whole days of bleeding when I'm not on my period. It's so freaking lame. I am eating the right things. I am getting out doing stuff in my life and yet the scale is going up again and then wobbling, just like it did the stupid last stall. Am I going to go through this three weeks out of every month and only have one loss week per month? I really hope not, it's super discouraging.

 

I am not even losing inches now. I was like well maybe since a couple weeks ago I've lost some inches. Nope. Zip. Zero. None. All my clothes fit exactly the same. =((( Come on body! Give me a break here! I eat like 1/1000 of what I used to, can we get back to losing??

Gastric Sleeve Patients

I'm sorry to read this Izuri. I've been there. It's so freaking frustrating! Wanna know what helped me? Well the one thing you won't want to hear... working out more. My psychologist (I go to a support group on thurs.) says that it takes 60-90 minutes of cardio exercise to lose weight. I was like WHAT? I do 30-45 a day already and was stall city. He said that's the normal amount of working out to maintain once you are at goal.

Talk about shoot the messenger! But guess what? It worked, dammit. And increasing my water helps (I try to do 3-4/28 oz mug that I have). And do you track your food? That really helps me.

That's all I can possibly suggest for you. I'm sorry, I probably am not much help, but that was the intent of my post!

Get away stallsville. Let her have her loss! xxx
