Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Anyway he said because I am heavy for my height that I would only need to gain 10-15 lbs when pregnant. Is he on crack? I've never heard of gaining so little weight when pregnant.
I only gained about 15 lbs during my pregnancy, and then lost about 35 as soon as D was born. Apparently pregnancy followed by being off hormonal birth control really agreed with me.
Xanax and effexor. OK, thanks. I'll look into those. Thanks.
Calli, effexor is an AD not an anxiety meds. I just mentioned it because it really does help with the stress eating.
OK. I expect if I get these panic attacks and whatnot under control through whatever mechanism, stress eating will be less of an issue. But thanks for the clarification.
The thing that helps with my stress eating is cutting out refined sugar.
It hurts like a bee-yotch to go off (headaches, serious jonesing) for about a week with three really bad days in the middle...
But once the job is done my eating pretty much stops being compulsive and boredom/stress related.
Something came up this weekend which means I am going to get yelled at by my boss later today. A lot. Not only that, but this is happening the week of my evaluation--so I am guessing this means NO raise. SO not looking forward to the ass-kicking I am in for.
Aw, crap, Scrappy. Here's hoping it's not as bad as you think it will be.
Ugh, Scrappy. May your boss be understanding.
Dear Students: No, I will not watch your stuff. Signed, Your Laptop isn't as Important to Me as it is to You
Ugh, I'm sorry Scrappy. I hope your boss sees the issue differently.
I'm not really stress eating the refined sugars all that much. More the potato, bread, and cheese food groups. Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, various cheese-based spreads on crackers. Yummy, if not nutritionally complete. And great with wine. Oh, hey, that's fruit, isn't it?
oh, shit, Scrappy, I'm sorry. I hope it isn't as bad as you think it is (or your boss doesn't) or at least boss doesn't feel like it reflects poorly on your performance in general.
ION, is anyone using a Nuva ring? What's your experience been? I've been out of the birth control biz for so long I haven't kept up with what's available. My doctor wants me to try it out for 3 months and report back.
