So you're only getting one months worth of patches? That's strange, I've never heard of that before. Your increased appetite can definately have to do with the patch. When I started birth control when I was 15 I gained some weight. Then when I got off it last year I also gained weight, it was just a lot of un-balanced hormones. I don't ever want hormonal birth control again, it's not worth it to me Today's workout looks great

My doctor gave me 3 months worth refill perscription of patches to use, but Im not going to use it.. I only want to try it for this month and see if it helps me to get my period back for this month..

Sara, I dont' wanna bring you down, but you might have to use it for 3 months, simply cuz sometimes even if you get your period after the first cycle of patches, it might not come the next month, so u have to use it again ( that's what I had to do) to get it to be regular...

I am saying this just so you are prepared, and don't get too disappinted if it does happen. Just don't worry abt it too much, OK?

 

[sara]

dalila, thats what Im expecting from the doctor.. to tell me to use the patch again till it regulates..If I just get it once or twice a year, I wont have to worry much about it
my back up plan is to use it only every six months
Yes, Im not worrying about it alot like I did last week.. Its all good

Crappy meals today and last meal yesturday.. nothing intersting to post

 

[sara]

Im so tempted of starting a new journal.. but like I posted in Mike's journal, that there is no reason for me to start a new journal since I have no solid diet plan

No reason to start a new journal. Get yourself a good diet and get into a routine and you'll be fine.

 

[sara]

soxmuscle- the new journal will start with the good diet plan.. right now, well starting tomorrow.. I wont be having a good diet plan, but it will be clean diet plan
as soon as I loose what I gained, I will start a new journal with my old good diet plan (lifestyle meals)

 

[Rocco32]

Hey there sara. Just reading through your journal, your putting up some nice weight! Hang in there, you doing awesome!!! Why are you having trouble with diet right now?

 

[Jodi]

Thats your problem sara, you are constantly trying to "lose what you gained" You need to realize that this is where you go wroing and you alway end up in a vicious circle. You binge, then you cut your food back too low, then you binge because your body is starving and then you cut your food too low etc...etc... etc... Each time you do this you are probably gaining more and more fat and you are putting yourself in a worse condition every time. It's so fucking stupid and myself and others have tried to tell you this. The answer is to start with a well balanced healthy diet and having this healthy diet will automatically make you lose the fat you gained and you won't binge becuase you have provided your body with the proper nutrients.

So with the way you do it you will end up fatter each time. But hey, what do I know?

 

[soxmuscle]

Sara -- I suggest just giving a quick PM to Jodi or one of the mods and having the title/subject of your thread changed. Binging or not, it's still should be forever part of your journal. Tonight for instance, instead of starting over, I changed the name of journal. That way through every block in the road, in the end, you can go over your ups and downs, and everything in between.

Just something to consider.

 

[Jodi]

I worked with Sara on a one on one basis. I met with her and gave her the best support possible. I tended to her more than my paying clients and she failed to follow instruction. I tried helping her as much as I can and I had to just finally tell her she is on her own. I don't want to continue helping someone that doesn't want to take my advice or alters the diet given to her. She likes to kill her diet by dropping carbs because she thinks she will get better results. I care about Sara but I could not continue.

 

[sara]

rock- there might be more than one reason to why Im having trouble now..
It all started last January.. but it was once in a while .. I think it was the pressure from family telling me Im not eating right, new school, new job, recovering from injury
and it started to increase and increase.. and from october 18'th till today.. I havn't had a good balanced diet.. I mean I do well few days and go back and binge..but this will stop.. I gotta have faith and get my lifestyle back

come on sara, get your ass in gear.

 

[Rocco32]

Hang in there Sara. Crap happens in life, but eating to correspond with that crap I'm sure you've found out does not help. Not when you care about fitness and health. You need to find different outlets for your stress. I'm sure you still have everything Jodi helped you with either in your head or written down. Just do it, one step at a time. Like your sig- Never give up

[sara]

Yes rock, Never Give Up!!! I see people talking about diets, health, etc.. and Im always willing to help them with my little info.. I do care about health & fitness more than anything in the world!!!! thats why its affecting my emotions, attitude.. because my health and fitness is failing
