<< Previous Topic | Next Topic >> Return to Index   my uterus is evil February 24 2004 at 12:21 AM No score for this post   (Login navi_)   Hi! I'm Navi. And this is my introductory post. I'm one of those "I'll start eating right and exercising tomorrow!" types. I've been about to start tomorrow for a year now. Right now, though, I'm saying "I'll start Sunday!" Why Sunday? That's when I start the new pack of pills. It's PMS week right now and I'm on the pill to manage my PMDD. (It's not quite as severe this month, aside from the 45 minute sessions of sobbing for no reason...) It's just a short term solution, though, as I'm still kind of uncomfortable with putting hormones in my body, and I won't have health insurance in several months anyway. I know I should exercise and eat right and get enough sleep but I just can't bring myself to do it when it's PMS week. When I'm cramping and I'm feeling depressed and craving sugar like OhMyGodINeedToHaveItNow... it's like I watch myself walk to the freezer and pull out the package of peanut butter cups that DH-to-be put in there for himself and I see myself unwrapping them and devouring them all. And then I watch myself pour bowl after bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, followed by a popsicle, followed by a glass of orange juice. And then I go and cry because [cue evil uterus voice] oh my God, I cannot BELIEVE what a horrible person you are. Look what you just ate! How disgusting. DH-to-be reassures me all the time that he still loves me no matter what I look like (and he did love me just as much when I was 30 pounds heavier) and that eating "bad" food does not make me a horrible person and that I'm going to get through this. I know he's right. But when it's THAT time of the month it's so hard to listen to him. I guess this post didn't really have a point.. I just wanted to say it to people who would understand.   Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
