have you let yourself go since ttc ?

[miel]

i came to the conclusion that i kind of let myself go since i have being ttc for over a year ( resulting in packing a nicely 15 pounds )
first it's was "oh if i run in the treadmill so long right on ovulation eggy will not implant etc..." i know lame excuses but never less the results are the same ...i did let myself go ...
i guess i concentrated so much on ttc i gave up on a lot of things...

have you let yourself go too ? is this a side effect on llttc?

Yep...I sure have! Mine are for 2 reasons.

1. I get so depressed about TTC for so long and having traumatic treatment so it makes me eat...only thing that makes me feel better and comforted.

2. I used to be VERY active with my horses...I would ride 2 horses a day as well as much out stalls and paddocks and lots of walking...now i'm lucky to ride 1 horse a few times a week and they're all in large paddocks so no poo picking up.

I do still exercise, I generally do at least 30mins a day, but when you used to do 2+hrs a day, 30mins isn't much!

I do eat very healthy meals but tend to go for the junky things in-between or if I don't feel like cooking some nights.

I also think the drugs have buggered my metabolism even more...these days I find it VERY hard to lose weight even if i'm doing all of the right things...very frustrating

O yeah, honey, for sure! I think, for me, it's more about 'hey, what's the point of getting skinny if I'm gonna be fat and preggo soon anyway?' I also have the fear of it affecting any implanted eggy but sure it doesn't, unless you go cer-azzzy with the old exercise. But boy, am I determined now to lose weight cos a) am going to Mauritius to bro's wedding in June and b) it's best to be fit and healthy when TTCing. But yeah, it's tough. x

Yep i got all fit and healthy for the wedding, then i got worried that running might stop my little egg sticking so i would make excuses - i couldn't go when i got due to cramps, then i would go once or twice before ovulation but not after... just in case!!!

I am now 20lb heavier than when we got married! What a heiffer - you could lasoo me and take me to the market it's not good!!

 

[yaya]

YES. I think I am frustrated with my body 'failing' and therefore don't really feel motivated to treat it right by exercising/eating healthy enough. Also I definitely eat to comfort myself over the pain of not getting pregnant. xxx

looks like it's definatly a bad side effect for sure but no more!

Hi there... i have let myself go to. I have the hairiest legs out.....not very good for a lecturer in beauty therapy, and i have put on a few pounds...i feel really bad about myself, but i have decided that there is no point infeeling bad about body and about no baby, so tomorrow i am taking myself in hand and going to wax my legs and apply some fake tan and start eating healthily, because when i do feel pregnant (thinking positively) i want to look like a yummy mummy and not a slummy mummy !!!

Chin up sweetie...we WILL get there xxx

I definitely have let myself go!! Used to be a gym junkie going 4-5 times a wk for 1.5-2 hrs at a time, then we moved house so I cancelled my membership. I thought no point joining another gym coz I'll be preg in no time - that was 1.5 yrs ago!!!

Also, I just dont want to spend money on myself these days - anyone else feel the same? I avoided the sales this yr and generally hate shopping these days cos I don't want to be buying ordinary clothes - i want to be buying maternity clothes!! and baby clothes!!

I definitely have let myself go (especially my weight) I was pretty depressed after my failed IUI in June, and found a lot of comfort in food.... now it is time to whip my butt into shape and get back into the swing of things....

 

[bird24]

OH YES

I need to loose the stone i have put on with TTC

need to get motivated!!!

[Redfraggle]

Totally! I've gone up two dress sizes since we started TTC.

Plus I find I don't want to plan things too far ahead because I am so convinced I'll be pregnant any time soon (its been nearly 3.5 years so reality will hit any time soon I am sure ).

I did the first couple of years - I just got more and more depressed about it, and began to eat terribly - the result was a huge weight gain (And I do mean huge). Which made me even more depressed...It's only been in the last 6 months that I've began to change that....I'm determined to get back the body I once had....But I have a lot of weight to go.

It wasn't until a Gyno told me that I need to lose weight that it really hit home, I mean people told me I was gaining weight but I didn't care....But as soon as a Dr says "All this extra weight is affecting your fertility" something kind of snapped I guess.

but i wonder if i change only physically ? you know i think mentally a little too for myself ...like i am happy but part of me is not too...before we decided to ttc i was 100% happy with myself..

Mentally for me too....all the crying and the "why is this happening to me" has messed with my head. Greg tries his hardest to comfort me when he sees I am upset, but a lot of times I find myself putting on a happy face in front of him, then going into the other room and having a good cry.

it's like i am not free of myself ( i don't do thing because i am ttc ) it's running a marathon that never end ...the finish line never come up...
