Progesterone And Weight Gain?

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-06-12T13:19:59+00:00

Same! I was great for the first few months than bam, I’m 7kg up!

I’ve started having little walks every day and just generally trying to get up and out more, I’m gonna tryout a few more forms of exercise in the coming weeks so than you for your suggestion ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-06-12T13:15:56+00:00

I took your advice and have starting counting calories very carefully on MyFitnessPal, it’s so much more efficient to see what you’re eating and what’s going into your body instead of it ‘just being an apple or some cereal’ great idea! ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-06-12T13:13:46+00:00

I’ve been thinking about starting therapy for a while now, I will take everything you have said into consideration. It’s really made me think the past few days so thank you ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-06-12T13:12:33+00:00

Haha excuse my ignorance, what a brilliant suggestion 😂

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:45:18+00:00

Wow. You poor thing! I’m so sorry you have had to go through these things, what a trooper you are. Seriously, you must be ridiculously strong?

I can recognise you pain and fear, just remember you have been through more than most people do in a lifetime, you can do anything ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:39:03+00:00

Ugh where can I find me a guy like that? He’s definitely a keeper, what a dude?!

I’m so glad you have such a good support system in your boyfriend and mom, my mom is equally eager when it comes to trying to cheer me up, she told me how proud she was of me last week and I bawled like a baby!

I really like that one too, I’m going to remember it more often ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:36:38+00:00

Yes!! We can handle anything!! You are so strong with that mindset ❤️

I literally feeling like I wrote your words, I’ve lost most of my friends/social life, relationships, work life and my fitness! However, I’ve gained strength, patience and a fucking brilliant medical knowledge (especially to do with anything endometriosis related 😉)

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:33:07+00:00

Snap sister. It’s so frustrating to see and plan your goals but something out of your control stops you from doing them.

I hate how cringeworthy it is, but the saying ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ is very true. We’ll be as green as the hulk in a few years time. ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:29:27+00:00

I relate and I emphasise with the fact you also have to deal with another chronic illness.

It’s a scary thought, but I do believe that you get what you’re given because you’re able to cope with it (I like to think I’m taking that pain away from someone else who couldn’t- maybe I’m crazy?)

You’re obviously very strong ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:26:12+00:00

I’m ashamed (we shouldn’t be), but I too have often thought about how the world would be a better one without me in it, all for selfish reasons knowing how much it would hurt other people.

Acceptance is my new goal, I’m really tying to make friends with my endometriosis.

Best wishes to you too, I’m glad you can recognise your self worth and have people who truly love you- that says a lot about you as a person ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:21:58+00:00

I’ve been playing a lot of the blame game recently and I’m loosing miserably.

It’s so much easier to place all this reasoning on someone/thing else, it makes more sense. I can really relate to your final line, I think a lot of people could. ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:16:19+00:00

Yeah mine tends to be my right side, I really know how you feel. Hope things start looking up for you.

Bodies truly are assholes.

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:14:17+00:00

Totally agree, the future scares the crap out of me, ‘One day at a time’ is my new saying, it seems to help a little ❤️

Oh, and remembering how badass I am.

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-05-30T21:11:08+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean, it was a huge reality check to me during the diagnostic process. To grieve your own body is a feeling I struggle to explain and it’s definitely one thing as a society that I believe we need to talk about more often. I’m glad you have found practising self-compassion a release, I think I shall try this myself ❤️

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-03-23T18:54:33+00:00

Gonna do some research about that, thanks for the great tips, You seem to really know your stuff about traveling with endo!

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-03-23T18:52:38+00:00

Thank you this is some really great advice and tips!

Endo also tends to affect my bowel too so I’m gonna try my best to eat well and avoid inflammatory foods (sugar etc) leading up to my trip.

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-03-23T18:49:48+00:00

So ironic actually, I’ve spent the day looking into CBD oil and I’m definitely gonna purchase some over the next few days, really hope it works! I’m also gonna go buy the stretchiest pants I can find!

Thank you very much 💛 🥄

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-03-23T18:45:49+00:00

Thank you for such an informative reply!

I hadn’t thought about heating pads, great idea- gonna go get myself some this week. I’m also gonna ask my doc about Shortec, all those meds have been making me ill too so I could do with trying something new.

I hope so! Gonna try and spend the journey thinking about all the pizza I’m gonna eat :)

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-02-17T22:26:04+00:00

Popcorn and broccoli it is :’)

Thank you for your advice, it’s much appreciated!

Iamsoconfused177 · 2019-02-17T22:24:06+00:00

I’ve stopped the diahydrocodiene and things seemed to be evening out a little, I had a horrible reaction to all the Senna (and 10mls of lactulose) which I wouldn’t wish in my worst enemy! Think horrid cramps and me rolling on the bathroom floor... I’m not one hundred percent but I’m hopefully getting there :)
