Dear Coworkers,
PLEASE STOP LOOKING AT MY STOMACH AS YOU PASS ME IN THE HALL. YES, I know that I've over-shared about wanting to have a kiddo and YES, I've put on nearly 15lbs since August but I hate to disappoint you: there's no baby in there...just carbs and beer. Mmmm beer.
Sincerely,
Lou
I hauled my chubby butt (accompanied by my BFF Xanex) back to Weight Watchers last week. For those of you that don't know, I was once down 75lbs but have put about 20 of it back on. I'm a fluctuater but have never allowed it to go this far. I've been using the excuse "but if I get pregnant...the extra 10-15lbs won't matter" for too long. I have 4 weeks and I'm taking advantage of them, dammit.
So, not only do have have the Lupron to complain about this week but I'm a SUPER pissed dieter too. Consider yourself warned...
Doesn't it suck to have the "but I might be pregnant soon" excuse for years? It drives me (and my motivation) nuts! Good luck with those 10lbs...
ReplyDeleteHaha! You crack me up! Good luck with WW! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI hear you sister...I'm a fluctuater too! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou still had an egg retrieval and that is a very good excuse in my book :). That said, would be nice to start the FET skinny to watch the belly grow! Good luck with WW, you obviously know what you're doing. Oh, and I always find the bcps add to the belly too :(. Boo. Here's hoping your next upwards jump is pregnancy related.
ReplyDeleteHa! I feel your pain!! I decided that since it was taking forever and a day to get pregnant, I should really focus on something I can control. Losing weight. Good luck with WW!
ReplyDeleteI've been having a terrible time with my weight since this past IVF. I don't know if it's because I gained it so fast, but it's all around my stomach and I keep having to find sweaters to wear to work to hide my extra pounds. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteDo you like WW? My husband tried the online version, but we cook a lot, and it was a pain to keep figuring out the points, so we eventually stopped using it. We do have to find something that works though.
My hat's off to you girl. I lost about 40 lbs with WW in 2007-2008 and have managed to maintain. But, I never reached my goal (about 10-20 more lbs) and have found it impossible to restart. WTG on your loss and be kind to yourself about the gain!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from ICLW! Good for you for heading back in to WW. I too had success there, several different times. Like you, I'm a fluctuater. Wouldn't it be something to be able to wear the same clothes for YEARS? My husband never changes size: he's always skinny as hell. Me though, not so much. I have jeans in like 4 different sizes.
ReplyDeleteAnyway... best of luck to you on your upcoming FET! My second FET is taking place this week. I will be stalking your progress! :)
It is always hard to lose weight when you are hoping to gain even more!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for dragging yourself to WW. It takes some effort, especially when you don't feel like it.
ReplyDeleteYou might remember, I'm your sock buddy. I was wondering if you could send me your address because I have something I'd like to send you too.
I hope the weight loss goes well. That four weeks will be over before you know it!
Sorry about getting over-analyzed by your co-workers!! Hoping that everything goes well with WW. You can do this girl!
ReplyDeleteHey, just stopped by cause I miss you and wanted to see how things are going and how you are faring in gearing up for the FET. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Lou! I'm your sock exchange partner, looking to send you some great German socks ;) Here's my email so you can share your address (lovelytransitions@googlemail.com)
ReplyDeleteHey there! Found you through cycle sista's!
ReplyDeleteWe're having our transfers on the same day :) Good luck with everything!!
Hi Lou! I tagged you in a post so I can learn more about you :) http://lovelytransitions.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/taggin-along-before-zzzz/
ReplyDeleteHi... here from Cyclesista's :)) Looks like we'll be cycling together :)) I haaaate Lupron... and luckily won't be on it this cycle. Thinking of you and hoping this is the one for you xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am also a defunct WWer. Ugh, I need to go back. :P Good luck with the transfer!
