OT- Feeling a little down
Aunt Flow came today.. 3 weeks late.... With a vengeance. I was convinced I was pregnant because I have never been more than a week late in the 15(ish) years I've been having periods and thought I was having pregnancy symptoms.
DH went drinking after work with his buddies last night and I ate dinner by myself.
I have to sit near BM (I will NOT sit next to her) and play nice tomorrow for at least an hour for SD's Xmas play. That's an hour too long.
I feel fat, I have gained 10 lbs in 2 months. I am cramped and bloated today. My jeans don't fit right.
It's not even Friday yet.

Is it possible you were
Is it possible you were pregnant and just had a miscarriage?
You probably didn't mean
You probably didn't mean anything sinister by it, but the phrase "JUST had a miscarriage" is highly insensitive.
That's how I read it too.
That's how I read it too. I've never been pregnant that I know of so I have no idea. It's a possibility but I really have no clue.
I just went through this
I just went through this about a month ago myself. I was over a week late on my period and seriously thought I was pregnant too. I had all the symptoms and everything. I was freaking out.
I finally got it and it sucked but I lost weight right after and was back to my normal. I think what caused me to be off is stress, traveling, also I have a thyroid problem. The doc says it is in normal range but it was elevated. I think that has thrown it off too. Also I think age is playing a factor in it as well.
I get what you are going through.
Get your thyroid checked could be off be surprised how common that is. My SIL just found out she had the same thing and she is on meds too.
Best of Luck.
My girlfriend mentioned my
My girlfriend mentioned my thyroid also because she takes meds for hers. I'll see if my doc will order tests for me when I talk to her. Thank you!
Not on the pill- no BC for
Not on the pill- no BC for years. I am extremely sensitive to hormones so I stopped them a year after I started.
But I know what you mean about losing/ gaining the same 20 pounds.. Sadly. I was doing really well this summer then right around Halloween and when the fall desserts came out I've just gone ballistic with eating.
Wow it's amazing what they
Wow it's amazing what they have nowadays. Maybe that would help get my cycle back on track until we're really ready to family plan.
I'll have to commit to being healthier for the new year for myself. I've not been the nicest to DH lately either..
I'm sorry dogs. I cant even
I'm sorry dogs.
I cant even imagine how it would feel... If you want a little human I seriously hope you get one soon!!!
Maybe having the "pregnancy scare" (even though it doesn't sound like you were scared!) can help you decide if you do want to actually try to conceive? It sounds like you seem ready for that option!!!
Also weight gain can suck... I gained weight freshman year in college for a bit (idk how since I burn through food...) and I got super self conscious... I had to figure out dressing so I was comfortable before I got back to my gym rat habit.
If it helps though, it's probably not as bad as you think. I run, weight lift, and eat fairly healthy and I still have days where I feel self conscious about my body... Like statistically I'm actually thin... But something about my brain likes to pick on every little thing that could possibly be wrong and the magnify it by 1000. I think it happens to most women. So I'm sure you look wonderful and just don't realize it!

DH and I were just anxious as a baby would cause a huge lifestyle change. I'm trying to not let the emotions get to me and just get through the end of this year.
I feel really pessimistic about working out again just because I feel so gross. I know working out again and eating better will boost my confidence but it's actually doing it first..
I UNDERSTAND. When I went
I UNDERSTAND. When I went through that phase the hardest thing was starting again... I felt disgusting... Running was SO DANG HARD. And let's be real... Food that's bad tastes good...
I just had to make myself do it... (and stop buying all the junk food... Because if I had it, I ate it...
)
But I get it, forcing yourself to the gym just to feel good isn't the best motivator some days... I ended up buying a dress that didn't fit but was super cute... It sounds weird (especially since I don't even like wearing dresses) but something about it made it easier for me to track my progress, so once I had a way to track my progress it felt like I was actually going somewhere and I used that to drive me instead.
