Can't decide!

Hello!

Hope you're all having a good week so far.

Only had one funny orange accident on day 3 and that was after meatballs, so my own fault really.

Went to WW today, found it really hard not to blurt out that I was 'cheating'! Resisted though, just sat there being smug (mean, I know!) But I lost 4lbs. I'm not taking this as a very serious thing because I haven't been officially weighed in a fortnight. So this week will be the real test.

Just thought I'd share, can't decide whether I should be pleased or not!

    Hi Amy,

    Thats good!!! I'm supposed to go tmrw to class but can't make it. My first weigh will be at the gp's next Tuesday, thats my 2 weeks on blueys.

    I'm having a nightmare though. Its my womens week next week and the new pill they put me on is microgynon is annoying. When I was on Dianette (for PCOS) it was fab, I knew my heavy week was the week I was pill free, but with this one its th last week on the pill. I get spots now and random on my face too - arghhh! I had to come off Dianette due to migraines.

    Anyway, I've just stuck to my points but unfortunately not sure its the right thing to do as I'm heavy from pill. Roll on next week, when I know either way.

    Sarah

    Ps Did you get a PM from me today?

    1) you are not cheating. Even with the pill you could stuff yourself with meringue, boiled sweets, sugar, bread etc. etc.

    2) be pleased.

    I was on microgynon for about 20 years and I put on 1/2 stone the week before every month. You know you are heavier this week - just think of it as being weighed wearing a heavy coat. The scales say one thing but you know it will change next week.

    Hey,

    Thanks, I guess I couldn't decide because it's 2 weeks since my last weigh in but only 1 on the blues (have watched too much Quadrophenia to really feel right called them blues but still!) Will just take it as a positive and carry on.

    Taffysarah, no PM, if that was meant for me. Also, I had trouble with microgynon, made me terribly depressed and made me gain (although, I was probably depressed anyway and comfort eating!) But found dianette great, they still haven't put me back on it because my BMI is too high, booo!

    Anyway, will be bolstered by weight loss, the most so far so must mean something!
