Packing on the pounds!!!!

in TTC after 35
Ugh I just tried to get I to 3 count em 3 pairs of my size 14's ( fresh out of the wash) and wAs no where near being able to button them. I put on about 5 lbs this winter but seriously this is rediculous!!!! Finally got into a pair that had some stretch to them. I guess I'm going to have to start watching everything I eat. I'm too tired and unmotivated to just workout.
Grrrrrr
Just real angry right now

    Awww, take care of yourself girl.  This time of year can be hard to keep on track.

    I always blame the dryer being too hot and that is why my clothes "shrink".... it couldn't possibly be me, lol :D

    Right after I typed my post I almost ate a Hershey's miniature special dark. I resisted, this is not going to be easy. At least I have some vegi chili for lunch, but I have to omit the cheddar cheese :((

    I was at my OB office the other day (who also runs some diet clinic) and as we were going through all of my vitamin deficiencies he said something like, "Do you want to go on my medical diet?  It's best to be at your "fighting weight" when you are TTC."  Things like that don't motivate me, they depress me.  

    And so for lunch, I just ordered a pizza.  For myself.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. I hate exercise. I went up two pants sized in the last 9 months. I didn't care what size I wore as long as the pants fit comfortably. There are so many different sizes for so many different designers and brands; I don't know what size I "actually" wear...

    Don't be hard on yourself - it is so hard with all the hormones and treatments - not to mention the holidays and cold weather!  I am up about 10 lbs since this all started - am trying to motivate to at least lose a few lbs this month since we have to take 'off' after our failed IVF.  But it is SO cold out!  

    I actually went out and bought a pair of jeans a size up last month pre-emptively so that I would still have something that fit (bad I know but I didn't want to feel bad about my weight and bloat on top of everything else)

    I'm sorry and can relate. Trying to lose some lbs to be a healthier me and maybe better luck ttc. The weather and holidays certainly don't help. Stay strong! ( I think dark chocolate is considered health food ... Antioxidants ;) )

    ALSO, I polished off half a chocolate/peanut butter bar today. Other half I enjoyed yesterday.  :-B

    I can also relate. I have been craving donuts and chocolate like crazy recently. I think the holidays sparked a little addiction.

    OK, hoolie, I washed some jeans a couple nights ago and put them on today. They're a little tight. Maybe I'm bloated but I KNOW I am uncomfortable today!

    I've gained 33 pounds since I got married 3 years ago! I've never had a problem with my weight until now. I started my new year's resolutions and lost 5 lbs in the first week of 2014, but they were the holiday lbs I put on. It feels good to be moving in the right direction though.
