The joys of fertility drugs...
I swear if I gain another pound I might go insane!!! As most of you know I went back on my drugs that help my chances of getting pregnant- Well, I was on them for 6 months last summer with no luck. Not many side effects except for moodiness. I had heard a lot of people talk about how they went on it and gained like 20 pounds, but I thought that would never happen to me.
Well, it seems like whenever I get arrogant about what can or cannot happen to me, God shows me otherwise.
I have been on these drugs for 2 months now and gained a whopping 7 pounds. "7 pounds? That's not too big of a deal." you might say. But for me it is the difference between pants buttoning or not buttoning. Being comfortable, or busting at the seems. Uggghh!
And, the big kicker is that I'm not eating as much as I usually do AND I'm eating so much healthier than usual, only to see the scale slowly working it's way up despite my efforts. Sorry this is going to be a complaining post-I've never experienced anything like this though. I mean, if I had gained weight in the past it's because my eating habits were horrible and too large. The second I started to eat healthy and smaller portions the weight would come off. This just isn't the case now, so I'm a bit frustrated.
Well, poor Kris feels so bad for me (he says he can't tell) that we went to Sears on Monday and started "looking around" at the treadmills and elipticals. Well, I got on an eliptical and feel in love with it, plus it was on sale, plus they have zero financing until April and it could be paid off by then for sure! So, Kris bought it so I can return to normal. Please pray it works!!!! haha. Thanks for listening to the rant, I don't think Kris could take it anymore. :)

I'm sorry that is so frustrating! Just know that the eating healthy and exercise is for the long term! You and your body will catch up with eachother! I pray for you so many times throughout the day, whenever you come to mind. I am so glad that God put us together at this time in our lives, thanks for being a friend!
I love you and am so sorry that you have to go through this. Have so much fun with the elliptical. And, I can't wait to see you.
Praying for you my friend!
