Disregard my signature. It's not right. I'm not sure what I weigh or I'd update it. I've been afraid to get on the scale. I know its in the 200s. Not sure where. My 14s still fit but are pretty tight so I'm almost exclusively wearing my 16s again. I will try to get the courage to weigh in tomorrow morning. I recognize a few people from the last time I was here. Congrats for staying on track!
Not to make excuses but I've been going through fertility treatments after over 3 years of TTC and that combined with the fact that I tapered off my anti-depressant (in an effort to be off of it if I got pregnant) has been a bad combo for my weight. I was going to do IVF but we decided to try some IUIs first. I wish I had just done the IVF and gotten it over in one shot not that it would have been successful. IUIs haven't worked yet but the drugs give me PMS cramps at ovulation and very bad PMS during the last two weeks. I get ravenously hungry and my full/satisfied switch doesn't exist. I'm also pretty depressed with no energy almost all the time.
I've stayed pretty good eating-wise for breakfast and lunch. It's dinners at night that I have difficulty with. But I'm starting to get sick of my work food and unsure what to sub for it.
Breakfast is pb toast (1 tbsp pb, 2 slices toast) or oatmeal or cereal
Morning snack - string cheese
lunch - leftovers or can of soup or sandwich, baby carrots, fruit (apple/orange now or in the summer it was blueberries or strawberries that was the best!)
dinner - crap shoot plus desserts
I'm aware my weight can be affecting my fertility but my doctor isn't concerned with it and said there was no reason I shouldn't be able to get pregnant (we have severe male factor). When he told me that months ago I think I sort of took that as I was 'okay' and quit tracking my food. But I know being overweight and pregnant can lead to added problems too...so I want to get back on track.
I had a binge Sunday night
(on chili and cornbread and brownies no less I was soooo sick that night but during it I just felt hungry so I kept eating just a little more and a little more. I was wishing I would just throw it all up but I can't make myself throw up and I know that's wrong anyway), so that was another wake up call for me that I needed to get back on track.
Anyway I thought I'd start back here and see how everyone was doing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
