Sorry for the long post, would appreciate it if some of you read it but please don't make me feel worse about the situation then I do already. Since having my youngest I haven't been very feeling right. I never seem to be feel full, I can eat all day long and never be satisfied. Went to buy clothes the other night so I could have pants for winter can't seem to any to hide my fat stomach, or my fat cushion as my husband calls it. I've tried everything, went to the doctor Friday and since I gave birth I've gained 50+ pounds. I've been eating healthier since I've had him cut out the junk food. My blood pressure was through the roof, Dr is checking my thyroid and for diabetes. Only thing my husband says is yeah you've gained a lot of weight and got a lot bigger. I'm not sleeping well since either due to the weight gain, if I lay down for to long it's hard to breath and my chest starts to hurt and everything goes numb. Told my husband that I'm not leaving the house until unless I have to because I feel disgusting. Got a lot going on and don't really have a support system. My mom and husbands suggestion is get a physical job that way I can work off and won't be around food all day. Not sure how or what to do because I don't think food is the problem.
@cheistamoore2012, so do u eat dairy? Good for u for not having soda. Potatoes can be wonderful what kind of potatoes do u eat?
All different kind of fruits and veggies. I know I don't need meat but I like it. I don't eat a lot of bread. I need milk due to a vitamin d issue the the supplement isn't enough. I don't drink a lot of juice just sometimes.
@christamoore2012, milk and juice have tons of sugar, bread is processed unless your baking it homemade, also you don't need meat to live have u thought of cutting meat out of your diet? What kinds of fruits and veggies do u eat?
I get test results this afternoon @concrete we do not eat paste, cookies, cakes, ice cream or soda. We eat lean meat, either baked or grilled. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. When I can't get fresh we get frozen. Sometimes we potatoes but not a lot. If we have bread it's lots of whole grains. I drink either water, milk, or juice. Hopefully the test results come back with something because I'm on really scared mom. @txyogagirl
@christamoore2012, I'm sorry girl. Don't get discouraged. U just need a plan that's all. I agree with @concrete I think meds are sometimes the problem. Not being mean at all when I say this but I have a question for u. What's ur definition of junk food? Tell me what u eat in a typical day? I'm happy to help in anyway you can mess me if u would like.
@christamoore2012, try eliminating most carbs -sugar, white flour, corn, etc. you might need to reset your metabolism.
@christamoore2012, is there any way the meds are not helping? also, have you got tested for hormonal imbalance?
I'm on medicine for ppd. The insomnia is only recently happening due to my breathing problems. As long as I'm sitting up I can sleep. But hard to sleep sitting up without my back hurting all day and night. @concrete
some of the symptoms you are describing are PPD. You might think that you feel fine emotionally, but sudden large weight gain and insomnia are some of the symptoms.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

Nope just drink milk on occasion to help fill in with the vitamin d supplement. Mainly roasted red potatoes or sauteed with vegetables. I truly think it's my thyroid it's been out of whack before and they got it better and then they took me off medicine and now I think it's out of whack again. Or diabetes it runs in my family and I'm also having diabetic symptoms. @txyogagirl
