Stuck at 149

I have struggled with weight since I was about 17. I started at around 130. By graduation I was 150 and had been stable at that weight for a couple of years. In college I started rapidly gaining weight and had a host of other issues (acne, belly fat, whacky periods, depression) that I now know were PCOS symptoms. I went all the way up to 205lbs. Before my wedding I got down to 160 with some dr prescribed diet pills (I know not healthy dont scold). When we started trying with fertility treatments I went back up to the 175 range. Started Metformin after 2 years of TTC and got down to 135. I like 135, a lot! I feel great my cycles come every 32 days and I think I look good. I am not rail thin (5'5'') but I can fit in a size 6 or 8 and don't have to starve myself to maintain it. When I got pregnant with Tuna I weighed 137 the day I went in for my induction I was 177. I am okay with 40lbs. It is on the high end of normal but not too excessive. I now weigh 149. I was down to 146 but have slipped a little. I eat whatever I want when I want and this includes little debbies and pizza. I know if I would just keep track of what I ate and started exercising again it would come off. I really wanna lose these 14 pounds so I can fit in all my non maternity spring clothes.

Weight is on my mind today. Went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned. Woot! Don't you just love that dentist clean feel! Also went to the P dr who specializes in anxiety. Why can't I just say the word? Dunno. More on that later. Gonna eat some pizza (told ya I eat whatever I want) and watch Dr. Phil Family with the hubs. Love me some TIVO!

  1. Just caught up on your blog posts. Welcome to blogging! Congrats on your little one, too, after TTC for so long. I feel a lot of anxiety myself with my pregnancy after having so many IF issues.

    I was treated for depression and anxiety (meds and therapy) for about 5 years, so I understand to some extent what you are going through. It is not easy, but I did improve over time. I hope that your doctor is able to help you.

  2. Aw thanks! It is good to know I am not alone and others have gotten through this. I am actually having some good days lately.
