I’m hoping to turn in to something really pretty!

Well I had my week 2 weigh in today, I gained nine ounces making it a 4 ounce net gain.  However, I did have a rather extravagent weekend at my parents, so I think if I had been “good” I would have maintained.

I get a hormonal injection every 12 weeks to control my menstrual cycle.  One of the side affects of it is weight gain, though over the last 12 weeks I’ve only gained a couple of pounds.  It works by including a hormonal steroid that increases appetite, so it can sometimes be hard to distinguish this effect from just bad habit.  There’s not meant to be anything that’d cause impaired weight loss though, so I asked the nurse when I was getting my injection today.  All she said was “I don’t know”.  Helpful.  I’m going to try for another 4 weeks, and if I haven’t lost anything by the end of November I think I’ll go to the doctor and see if there’s anything else I can do, or anything I should maybe get tested.

I don’t know.  Nothing else to really say just now!
