@Torvi - yes, I’ve noticed worse period cramping than usual this month. I’ve stayed on my usual 28 day cycle. August was normal for me. September was very very short and light. October has been very crampy, would have ideally liked to spend a couple of days in bed with a hot water bottle, but real life was far too busy for that.
On the subject of periods, I was due on and feeling quite bloated when I did my last weigh in ( I try to only weigh once a month or if I need to order a new pen). I feel like I’ve had a good whoosh since my period finished, but haven’t re-weighed yet. Need to keep thinking long term.
Bitter-sweet NSV for me today. My nice jeggings need to go in the charity shop bag, they have gone from being a bit loose to looking really awful. Why does the weight seem to be coming exclusively off my legs??
I’ve had lots of comments on my weight this week but I’m starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with it. Can’t really put my finger on why, as people have been quite nice. Maybe it’s because I’ve kept MJ a secret and I’m worried about people querying how I’ve lost the weight. I’ve never lost this much on any diet before, and this is the smallest I’ve been for years and years.
One thing I am a bit concerned about is that people keep trying to talk to me about my weight loss in front of my daughter. She’s pre-teen, healthy and active but becoming body conscious. I don’t want her to have the hang ups and problems that I’ve had, so I avoid talking about diets etc at home. I don’t want her to associate compliments with weight loss, as she is perfect as she is, and doesn’t need to change her weight at all. Hopefully she’s not paying too much attention, but I have been trying to shut down conversations about it when she’s around.
