Kate don't feel bad, I've been struggling with my weight for about 5 years
now. I was on depro-prova and it messed up my metabolism and hormone
levels
so much that dieting and exercise didn't matter. I gained 75lbs in ONE
YEAR
and have been fighting to lose the last 30-40 for about 4 years now. It
does affect how you view yourself... I went from a Barbie to Rosie Doll in
a
short amount of time and yeah I was depressed over it. But now I look at
it, that I'm still the same person... I'm still sexy, smart and have alot
going for myself, and if people want to judge me because I'm flabbier than
I
used to be then they're not worth knowing.

Depro provera will do that, that's for sure.

It is more about how I feel about myself than about actual weight. And
it's not that 'B' cares. He is more accepting of how I look than I am.

People do treat me differently now. Maybe it's that I've lost confidence
or that I can't fit in my nice clothing and see this as temporary... so
I buy cheap clothing that doesn't necessarily look good. I can't see
investing in anything nice.

I started back on Atkins. this is day 3. I feel a lot better without the
sugar and refined carbs. In another 10 days or so, I should be 10 lbs
lighter. That'll help. My goal is to lose 20 by the time school starts
august 25th. If I can do that, it'll be easier to do the hike from the
parking lot in 100 degree plus heat. Geez, it's hot out there.

Thanks, C.

I flat out refuse to give up carbs, oh my sweet sweet carbs. lol I don't
crave sugar or chocolate, but oh do I love rice and pasta. Chips are banned
in this house but then I end up caving and buying a bag, they're like crack.

~sigh~
