Quick catch up session!
ww been going so-so for me lately! Up/Down/Staying same....
well I recently went to my doctor to chage contraception, I had been on deprovera injections every 3 months for the last 4 years....I thought I was doing great...making sure I didn't get pregnant....and even had no periods..brilliant! Well my doctor wanted me to change, because there is bone density factors associalted with prolonged use of the injections...and I am only in my early 20s. So he suggested getting the implanon bar...if I wanted longterm non pill contraception. So off I went to the local family planning clinic....oh they were so nice...don't ever be afriad to go in there....they are there to advise on starting families....as well as preventing unexpected families from starting.
Well oh my god I got the shock of my life, so much so I may have cried a little in there. The FPC doctor i met, a women was furious and disgusted that I was allowed to be on the depo injections...becauses it turns out these injections, hormone based, stimulate the hunger/appitite sector of the brain (fact) and incrase the appitite by at least 20% and that young women, especially those already with significant weight to lose should run a mile from these injections. By this point I had already been off the injections about a month, and in that month my body had turned into a war zone, in about 4/5 weeks I gained like a stone! But oh my god...she said thats normal...my body was kinda detoxing off the hormones! She said it could take about 6 months for my body to totally get rid of all these hormones, and I'll know there gone when my periods return!
So here I am...I was doing great all year....then my body goes splat! It totally threw me off the wagon and the horse kept running with the wagon...been playing catch up last few weeks! Going to focus on toning and inch loss and eating right....eventually the scales will catch up....they have to....even with everything going against me...eventually excercise and healthy eating HAS to result in some weight loss....
So here I am....getting ready for 2nd year of college, also dealing with trying to conquor my fear of driving. I want to head off travelling next summer. I have boarderline thyroid...which the doctors says nothing can be done about....and my body is a hormonal mess from contraception! But you know what....at least I know it wasn't ALL MY FAULT....I did have factors working against me! I'm not giving up! I'm eating healthier these days Than I have ever been!
I'll post the courgette lasagne recipe in the next day or so!
