They remind you just how big you are and that you're nowhere near your target weight goal. After I had Beauty, it was so easy to shed the weight. I even lost extra weight and was the skinniest I've been since I was a teenager. I loved it; I bought new clothes and form-fitting jeans. Naturally, after I had Macho, I wanted to lose the weight just as quickly as I did the first time, and I thought I could lose a little bit extra too. Boy was I wrong!
Macho totally messed me up. My hips are wider, my stomach is bigger, and my metabolism isn't what it used to be. All I want to do is lose the baby weight from Macho, but it seems the "weight-loss gods" are against me. I've been trying to lose the weight for the past 4 months, but nothing seems to work. Then, I figured out one of the problems - my new medication for Fibromyalgia causes weight gain. Oy! Then, when I got the respiratory infection a few weeks ago, I was given 4 new medicines - ALL of them cause weight gain! That means for 2 weeks, I was taking 5 medications that made me tack on more weight faster than I thought possible. In ten days, I gained 10 pounds - that's a pound a day!!! Ahh!!
Now that I'm done taking those other medicines, I have to start playing catch up. I've got a lot more weight to lose than I did before and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it. I mean, I've already cut so many things out of my diet and I don't eat large portions. Plus, I don't eat sweets or sugary things. The unhealthiest snack we have in the house are cheesesticks and goldfish crackers. I think the only thing I can do differently is drink more water. Maybe that'll help.
Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone out there has some weight loss secret I don't know about. If you've got any tips for me, let me know!
