Very interesting.
I'm not so good at updating this journal, because it reminds me of pesky things like accountability and responsibility for what gets put into my mouth, chewed up, and swallowed. That little Hershey Kiss there, that soup here, everything adds up, and if I have to keep an actual track of my "progress," I have to think about all of that stuff.
I prefer vaguely referring to difficulties and stress to owning up to my own shortcomings and love affair with bread. (Why haven't you called me back?)
But, an interesting phenomenon is occurring. Despite what I might consider my own failures to eat less of good things (though I am doing better overall, don't get me wrong, I just like criticizing myself), I am now losing weight. Gasp, shock, awe.
Not speedily, but enough that I notice it. I can see it in my face. The way my underwear fits a little looser. The way my jeans fall down when I sit and stand sometimes (annoying ><). And the scale in the bathroom is actually reflecting these changes.
I think I know the reason for it, and it's kind of making me happy. I started taking Yazmin, in the place of my old birth control pills. They were hormone-heavy, and, I had always known, induced weight gain. All birth control pills of some kind or another do, but Yazmin has less of the weight-causing stuff in it, apparently.
So it's loosened up my system a bit.
Granted, I'm still combatting a frustrating new depression and overal feeling of uselessness that has settled on my shoulders in the place of weight and cramps, but we'll see if that doesn't go away once I adjust to the new dosages. Everyone complains about some mood swings when they first start these things, I think. So I'm willing to wait it out.
Plus, it's supposed to be able to help with my crippling pain that I deal with once a month. So, yay!
Anything that helps. If the old pills were making my body hold onto water weight and fat for some reason, I think lowering the levels has helped get it back on my side. And that's something I've missed.
:D

My dear, my dear. I'm proud of you! I wish you would give yourself a little more credit, though. Granted, new BC pills could definitely be helping you along, but even just being mindful of the things you put in your body is a good thing, and definitely contributes to your success so far.
Keep up the good work! *mwah*
