Infertility & Weight loss
So it’s time to cut the bullshit and stop pretending that everything is fine. After a year of trying to get pregnant and a couple of miscarriages later, here we are. I went and seen Dr. H in September. He told me he will help me get pregnant but he would be more comfortable if I lost some weight first. He will help me now on the condition that a perinatologist follow the pregnancy, but I just need to lose the weight. I put on 30+ lbs during Nursing School and it is time. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life, weighing in at 213 lbs. Trevor and I have hired a personal trainer but I am still struggling. Trevor has lost almost 30 lbs which is great but super frustrating when I am not seeing the same results. The least I have weighed since we started this is 207. I really just need to find the motivation to lose this weight. I need to find a way to disassociate weight lost with pregnancy. I think I am putting too much pressure on myself to lose the weight and therefore I am setting myself up for failure. I don’t know…I am so frustrated with myself. At the same time I think I need to cut myself a break. I graduated Nursing School in May with a 4.0 gpa. I am currently attending the Bachelor’s program, so I work full-time, at a relatively new job (which I hate most days), go to school full-time, and I am trying to be a wife and a mom to 2 dogs, one of which is a 6 month old lab/pit puppy.. I don’t know how I am supposed to do it all! Too top it off I am the worst stress eater!!! How do you think I gained the weight, if only it were as easy to lose as it was to gain…
