What I'm Missing

April 11, 2011

These days I'm missing:

  • Enjoying fresh fruits and veggies.  Fruit gives me horrible heartburn, and the thought of fresh veggies makes me literally gag.
  • Running :( Any thought of movement makes me start to feel nauseous.  I miss the feeling I get after a good run.  At this point, I likely won't be running for quite awhile... but I certainly hope I feel like walking sometime soon.
  • Pants that fit.  Regular pants are too small, and maternity pants are much too big - especially jeans.
  • Packing my own lunch to bringing to work... I just can't seem to pull something together most mornings.
  • My CWWL (Crazy Weight Watchers Leader) and WWers peeps
  • The motivation that my Thursday WWers meetings always brought.
  • A good nights sleep.
  • Measuring things, counting Points and journaling - yes... I'm crazy, I loved it, and can't wait to get back there.
  • Chicken - just like last time with "L", really hard for me to stomach.
  • Coffee - just the smell of  Starbucks makes me gag, and I'm a freaking gold card member.
  • Feeling the inspiration that losing weight brings.
What I am NOT missing:
  • Peeing on those stupid OPK (ovulation predictor kit) sticks, and always getting a negative result.  I swear, I never got a positive, AND I still got pregnant... figure that one out.
  • Seeing pregnant people everywhere I turn, and knowing I'm not.
  • PCOS - Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome - bite it you stupid disease!
  • Negative thoughts about my body
  • The thoughts that "L" will never have a sibling

  4. Read the article in Star & Tribune. I just had to look you up as I am starting the journey to lose 100+ pounds with weight watchers. Unlike you I have had a taste of desserts when I am out for the volunteer luncheons, church suppers, etc. It is only a taste but I do need to make better choices. I started WW on Feb. 15th and have lost 19.2 pounds. It has been difficult at times as food as been my friend and enemy! So, here I am at 66 wanting to win this battle. Congratulations on your pregnancy and weight loss. I am going to continue reading your blog to keep my mind on that a person can succeed. The best to you and your family.

  5. I just found your blog and I am so inspired! I too have been battling PCOS for the past 8 years. I have been trying to conceive for the past 3. We are finally moving on to a fertility specialists in hopes that one day we can have a child. Thank you for your posts and your encouragement! I too have lost almost 100 pounds and just recently started blogging! Keep up the good work!
