I Swore I wouldn’t become….

Crazy Kat but she’s arrived for the moment and will depart shortly.

I’m trying my  HARDEST to understand that my body is not like everyone else’s.  This being said…

I hate that I have extra skin, that I had a baby (who I LOVE) after finding out I had 1o lbs. of extra skin, that I hate the fact I can’t wear normal shorts, that I hate my arms because of the extra skin, and that I hate how my body looks for the most part.

I weighed in today.  I gained 2 oz. more than when I started this challenge.  The kicker I’M NOT EATING CRAP and exercising daily!  I had some candy over the weekend but not much because I get sick from sugar so my version and your version may be different on a little candy.  For the most part no starches.  I had some potato/sweet potato over the weekend too for mothers day but not much (hello I get full super fast!)

I was part of a study on women with PCOS and they said the foods for women with PCOS to avoid are Potato, Pasta, Bread.  What they call the poor mans food.  Back in the day these foods were eaten a lot because of poverty and the low cost of them but that women with PCOS can’t process those types of food.

I really do feel deprived sometimes when I work so hard and have a “Not for me” food for Mother’s Day and gain weight.  That’s how I explain my weight gain when it happens to people.  I say “I’ve eaten 1 slice of bread & you’ve eaten a loaf but to my body we just ate the same thing” I’m so angry at PCOS today.  I’m not giving up and not quitting but I cried today.  I just have to remember my body is different.

    I’m sorry hon:( That really has to be hard.

    1. Sometimes it is but my husband snapped me out of it yesterday. He even noted he hated I was doing this challenge because he’d have to see Crazy Kat at times. I promised him I’d keep her at bay and he said all the weight training to tone myself could be a way to gain weight so to do more cardio. He did help yesterday. Nice.

  3. Kat! Don’t cry. Lean on us in the group. I know many of us – myself included – feel alone at times, that our bodies aren’t like others, or that we’re crazy. I didn’t know about the PCOS connect with carbs. Apparently, carbs and breast cancer don’t go together either! HA!

    1. Thanks Wendy! Wow it took me a while to respond. I think I wanted to find my groove before I blogged again but that meant ignoring my blog altogether. Glad I’m back!
