My Wt is jumping so much, but at my first wt and meassure with curves, I have lost in a month 4 inches from my waist, and 2inchs from my bust,hips,thighs,and abd. So I can't let myself feel discouraged from the fact my wt isn't changing the way I would like.
I also had a very good check-up with my Dr yesterday. And I should feel wonderful about it but I dont know what is wrong with me, I just can't get myself to feel happy about things. My newest labs show my A1c (a diabetic checker/3 month average of blood sugars) was down from 6.5 to 5.5 from march. My testosterone is perfect, and he's wants to take me off my steroids for a few months, until they start showing signs of spiking again, which is wonderful I hate taking meds. But the way it was explained, I should be able to go off for a time, then will have to go on a 4-6 month cycle again when everything spikes.
A friend suggested I talk to a therapist about everything going on with me emotionall and physically. Im just not sure I want to yet. My eating habits have been getting worse. To the point I went almost 48 hours without eating until I had to force myself, but then was so sick. Just trying to do shakes as meals for a while and see how that works so at least Im getting some Calories.
Forgive the rambling.

Therapy is great, with the right person and when/if you're ready. But anyway hormones are a PITA. I started on bioidentical ones about 3 years ago? It took awhile to level, but when I started estrogen, progesterone and testorome were out of wack. The Testostorone is still low, but when I do more I break out like a before ad for acne product ;). The other thing my DO has me on is 25 mg of DHEA. She says it helps the supplements do their job and too much for woman she said can be worse, I dunno..it's working.

I agree, a therapist is helpful. Look for someone with whom you feel comfortable, and who has some years of experience. I hope you get your appetite going and can balance out soon.

My test and DHEA stay to high, I have hyperactive Adrenal glands which is why I take a steroid daily but now with us trying to take me off them some we'll see how I feel.
No decisions on therapy yet. It has been suggested I also try to get my husband to go with me but he won't go, his idea of therapy is us having a "blow-out" in a hotel. I will worry about it later.
Today wasnt to bad, didn't eat anything solid just had 3 shakes, that put me up to almost 1100 calories.

Awe Kedria! But I'm glad you have a doctor who really does check hormones and what not, so many don't. I wonder if the steroid is affecting your appetite? I guess no one really knows yet, but anyway I hope you figure it out.

It could, I have been on this steroid for 2 years (?) or so. And after my last two labs, he's decided to take me off it for a while which im totally ok with. Every two months for the last year I get my hormones check, before that it was every 3 months once they found out what was wrong with me.
There are more factors to what is going on with me a good amount is emotional I'm sure. But Some is a little to person to put in a open journal I think.
