I'm happy with my weight today even though I'm still in the 290's...I sometimes feel like I'll never get out of them. :/ My weight was 294 just last Wednesday. I was struggling with eating...one day I'd be ravenously hungry and the next the mere thought of food made me sick. I'm sure the cycle of eating too much followed by a day where I ate very little caused my body to react in the only way it knew how to.
I have since discovered why my eating patterns were so erratic and why I had gained so much in such a short time frame. AF started showing her face last Thursday with a little spotting...then I had nothing for 2 days, and started spotting again on Sunday. Yesterday AF was here to stay. I had an upset stomach most of the day yesterday and everything I ate didn't agree with me...I get like that when I'm on my period. I'm just glad I'm over the crazy food mood swings, lol.
AF showing up on her own is an amazing feat for my body. And, while I'm not losing any weight at the moment I can only assume that I am doing something right since my hormones where at a level stable enough for my body to have a natural 30 day cycle. So, that's 2 natural cycles started on my own back-to-back.
To most women, they dread getting their period. To me, I welcome it! I am so irregular that I once went almost a year without a period. It's not that bad anymore, but I would like to repair my body enough that I can get AF (on my own without medicine) on a regular basis.
Okay...enough blabbering about my period. Does anyone read this anyways? Probably not, lol.

I do! ;] lol I am glad to hear that you are seeing positive changes in your body. I noticed when I am bigger, and not taking good care of myself, my periods are about 35-40 days apart, but when I'm working out and eating right they are only 28 days apart, it is weird how our bodies react to these things! Defiantly keep up the good work, don't let the number 290 block your ability to move past it. I felt the same way about 350, and I got within 2 stinking pounds, decided I couldn't do it and completely self sabotaged. YOU can get into the 280's, and the 270's and the 250's and it's going to be amazing! Keep it up! :]

Thanks for taking the time to read my journal, Shae. :)
Isn't it a good feeling when you like *know* you're gaining control of your health? I do! I am really hoping that through weight loss I can beat infertility's behind. I know I can do it! I've already seen positive changes in my body's behavior.
As for being stuck in the 290's...I guess I feel this way because I usually only get to about 288 and get stuck, get frustrated and end back up in the 290's. This time I want it to be different.
Thanks for the support! :)
