What kind of diet are you on currently (or not as the case may be)? I had great luck when I cut out processed sugars and simple carbs.

That's what I'm afraid they're going to say to me. Annoying since at 120 lbs my period was just as crazy as it is now with me at 220. I do need to lose, obviously, but my cycles have always been this bad.

That said, last time I went from 220-120 I was anorexic, and it's hard to not do that again. I kind of want to try the "New" Cabbage Soup diet- supposed to be better than the old one. *sigh*


On a TTC-note, I'm starting Vitex as soon as it comes in the mail. I've also been having twinges on my left side the last 2-3 days. CD 82....

Rin - I'm with you. In high school is when I experience the only couple of times (prior to right now) that I missed my period and that was when I weighed 128 pounds (19.5 bmi)! When I weighed 350, I didn't ever miss a period, they just chose to come in a random amount of days each month from 20 to 45 or so.

I guess the only difference is that I've had ~20 years to build up my insulin resistance since then and that + bc caused my periods to stop.

Yup. :\ It sucks.

I'm trying to start losing weight now, I've only been carrying more than I should for a yr and a half or so...bah.

Haha I'm on that diet too. I just need to get more active.

I stopped being active when I had an ankle injury last fall- so I was immobile most of last winter, and it caught up with me.

Time to change that.

Me too. I have to go practically anorxic to lose any.....but I gain sooooooooo fast n easily, almost all on my stomach. It is so hard sometimes.

Good news- Vitex came in the mail yesterday-with a pregnancy magazine! I'm wondering if it's a sign...


Also, DH's family is in town....went out to dinner last night. DH's cousin's 9 yr old son sat by us at dinner, we chatted, nice kid.

We get to a restaurant today for lunch, DH is holding our 7 month old niece, and MIL says, "Do you have something to tell me?"

We look at her like she's nuts, and say, "Noooo....?"

To which she says, "C (9 yr old) said your wife is having a baby...?"

Also not sure if this is a sign....could just mean I need to lose weight after all.

For the longest time I was looking into the baby food diet. Just because i'm always on the go and so i always eat junk when i'm running about, or I don't eat at all which is no better. That's usually the case.

 

[Rin731]

I have some stomach issues- I think its IBS. So I end up not eating for long periods of time, bottoming out on my blood sugar, and then I have to eat something ASAP, and usually it's a cookie...

I have to be careful. I had anorexia in high school, and when I think about losing weight, that's what I want to do again. I can't think, "I better exercise."...I think "How awful of you to get so big, you should starve yourself." It's hard to work out when it's a trigger.


Vitex is a natural supplement to regulate your cycles. It takes a few months to build up in your system. Hoping it'll work for me.

 

[Hangin_On_AGS]

i know how you feel i was bulimic and if i get myself worked aup about what i ate or how much i immediatly vomit it back up. you never fully recover. can you graze through put the day would that help your tummy?

Thanks. The funny thing is I'm overweight and anorexic. Which is worse, because as I said, when I want to exercise at ALL, all of the eating disorder feelings come back full swing. Then all I want to do is starve myself, which is bad bad bad!!!!

I had an ankle injury last fall that laid me up all winter and kept me off my feet. Somehow the Spring, Summer, & Fall just flew by without me setting and going through a weight loss plan.

I really just need to set aside eating and exercising goals. I used to be in belly dance classes, but am too embarrassed to go back, as they saw me ~75 lighter and I've gained so much...

I try. I've been really liking Honey Kix cereal. It has lots of vitamins, too, so I feel like I'm eating something "good".

That's another thing. Once I start exercising, my mind automatically goes onto anorexia autopilot, and food starts being "good" or "bad"....which is a bad sign.

It's frustrating when working out is a trigger for my eating disorder.

That said, I haven't restricted fully for.....4 years? Which I think is a good thing.
