After DD was born I put on a lot of weight, went up to 15 stone and lost it over about 3 years of eating well and running around after DD
My weight sort of stablised (I think) at about 10 stone for the next 17 or so years (but I'm menopausal so who knows!)
I had ovarian cysts last year and I put on a lot of weight on my tummy & then had surgery which didn't go very well and I am still recovering from. I also have IBS, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia so I don't exercise well and struggle wallking - I do Yoga, ride my electric bike and was about to start swimming when I started being ill last year
So I am now nearly 11 st 6 all the time - but when the dentist saw me this week he was really shocked with how much weight I had lost - he said my legs were unbelieveably thin and my face was 'drawn' - I made a joke about looking like an albino spider all belly and spindly legs
But my belly could be 6 months pregnant - my 'waist' is 35 inches. my hips 40 and my belly 42 - 18m ago my waist was under 30 and my belly not noticable enough to measure & my hips about 43 (I dress make so that's fairly acurate)
So allowing for the surgery (which I still have a lot of pain from), newly started HRT, my ME/CFS and fibromyalgia what do I do now (oh & I have food intolerances - eggs dairy soya mainly one or two others)
