Week blah
I had an annoying week the past several days, so I thought I'd just vent
a little. But be forewarned, it contains girly problems. Last week at weigh-in I'd gone up 0.8lb. Which bugged me, but not too much, because the overall trend is sharply downward. This week I didn't do anything for the 4th of July, but I did have my birthday on the 6th. I saved up all my flex points and had myself a giant burger for dinner and some chocolate pie and ice cream. That's the good part. Unfortunately, I started getting cramps on the 5th. Now, when I get cramps, I don't just get a little aching pain. I get physically and mentally exhausted, such that I can sleep 12 hours and still have a hard time staying awake. I get so much pain I'm doubled over in bed trying to ignore it while I'm not asleep. On top of the pain I get walking around anyway, this *sucks*. I'm on depo-provera injections, so most of the time this nonsense doesn't happen. But the dose seems to have worn off early this time, and my body hates me. I was ok for most of my birthday Wednesday, but about 6pm I started feeling nasty again. Thursday, weigh-in day, I felt miserable the whole day. It was bad enough I didn't even want to stay for the meeting, and I spent most of the day in bed. I'd already suspected that I *might* not have much of a weight loss this week, because I'd had six low-calorie days in a row, and I knew my metabolism would've adjusted. But it was my birthday, and I was ok with that. And then with all the other crap, I figured I'd lose even less, maybe even gain, because of water. And then as we were walking out the door last night, it started storming. I couldn't've stood directly under three shower heads and gotten more wet. I was dripping all over the car even after I toweled myself off. My feet had been submerged in water all the way up to my ankles. My jeans and tshirt were soaked and stuck to me. And I got to weigh in like that. I have no idea how much water my clothes had absorbed, and I only had a 0.2lb loss. I suppose there's consolation in the fact that I'd probably have lost at least a pound more had I not been all wet, and maybe even more if I weren't suffering girly things that shouldn't be happening to me anyway. All that, on top of the birthday metabolism thing, the near-microscopic loss doesn't bother me. But that doesn't mean the past several days have been enjoyable, either. Shivering, sopping wet and cramping do not make for a good weigh-in. -Tay |

but look at your NSVs, you know the shot wore off early so you can take what
precautions you need to until next shot, no unplanned events, You DID lose, and for some of us that is a rarity. You will do WI next week, dry, TOM free and pain free so you will have an excellent loss, I hope you feel better soon, Lee Tayra wrote in message ...

Tayra,
I find that I get my period 2 days earlier now that I'm at a my goal weight and I've been on the same birth control pills for about 11 years. Half way through it was 1 day earlier. My cramps are worse now than when I was heavier. But I'll take the bad cramps over being 184 lbs any day. Hope your birthday dinner was fun. Congrats about the loss. Any loss is a good one.

I'm on injections, so I don't *have* those, at all. It's been .. uh, a year and a half since I've had any bleeding (*sooo* nice). The precautions aren't a problem; my sex life isn't anything to speak of. Mostly I'm on the shots because ToM for me is massively bad and sucky, and avoiding it entirely is much better. However, since it's not typical, I'll probably continue to be this way until I get my next shot in two weeks. So it may screw up next week's weight too. Typically, anytime I have ToM problems between injections, that's how it works; it just hasn't happened I've been weighing myself regularly until now. So the wearing off is even more irritating than it would be otherwise. But, at least I should weigh less next week simply because my clothes aren't soaked. So at least there's that. -Tay |

I never was regular even before I started the injections; it bugged me, but not as much as it confused my mom. She was regular 28 days ever since her very first one. Regular enough you could set your watch by it. She thought everybody was like that, and it took my doctor explaining to her that teenage girls *rarely* have a rhythm before she'd believe me that sometimes I'd just wake up and it would've happened, I really could not have prevented the stain on my underwear and she shouldn't yell at me for it. Closest I've ever been to regular is 24-32 days. I doubt I'd notice two days earlier. Course, on the injections, once I get the weight off and they stop fighting my body mass, I hope to never have to notice anything at all -Tay |

You seem to have overcome your problems - well done. Many people would have decided the week was a goner and tucked in big time. Well done. And if stick to the program this week you are in for a nice loss again next week Ray |

What an awful week you've had Tayra. Hope next week's better.
