Confession Thursday

Anything you need to tell us?

Backstory: DH and I started back to the gym this week since we haven't gone since July and we have been eating badly.

Confession:  I got on the scale at the gym on Monday and when we left the gym I cried because of what it said.  DH said it was probably wrong but I told him that even my fat pants were tight.

@cathy7910 - >:D<  hugs.  At least you are going to the gym now and making changes!

 

I caved and got measured for bras last week.  G... I'm now a freaking G!  WTF!  Lane Bryant wasn't even carrying my size so I had to order the bras I wanted.  I hate spending $100 on 3 bras, but I need them.  Oh and that's with buy 2, get 1 free.   they should be in today.  I do look forward to having a size I'm not overflowing in... but I'm still shocked and mad.  I don't know what I will do if we get pregnant.  I told H he'll have to hold them for me... he said ok.

@cathy7910 Big hug!  I've cried many times about how the scale makes me feel.  It's a bad feeling, but try to stay positive.

 

My confession: I'm doing more research about my disorder than actual work.  My health is more important anyway right?!

I confess that I kind of wish H hadn't taken his new job. He likes the work he does now better, and the pay is a LOT better, plus he gets to work with two of his best friends, but the project he's working on has a deadline of October 1and he's stuck working crazy hours until then. He already had to miss our family vacation last month. Now he's having to stay late and go in on weekends. I know it's wearing him out. Plus, I kind of feel selfish for saying this, but I hate not getting to spend as much time with him. I usually like to have time to myself, but that apartment gets lonely after awhile. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel, his hours should be back to normal by November.

@cathy7910 - I'm sorry you are feeling down.  But like mana said, at least you're going to gym and getting back on track.  Just try to stay positive and think of how good you'll feel when you hit your goal

@Seipel12 - I know how that is.  Before my surgery, I was constantly looking at pictures and researching it.  It's hard to concentrate when something so life changing is going on.  Don't feel bad.

@mana8503 - I know exactly how you feel!  I was a 34H before surgery but because of my band size, I could only find my bras at certain (expensive) stores.  I believe I paid around $80-$90 per bra last time I purchased some.  Talk about frustrating!  I also couldn't imagine how it would be when I get pregnant.  I think my boobs would have completely taken over my whole upper body! lol

@ystaalenburg - I can only imagine being a 34H!  I'm a 40G right now, so you would think LB would have it.  Althought, I did go to the smaller store in DE to save on sales tax, but since they had to ship them I still had to pay it.  GRR!  I'm sure the big one in MD would have my size, I'll go there the next sale.

I ate 3 Bomb Pops and some Starbursts for lunch...random!  I'm either PG or PMS'ing...lol

@Cathyl7910 don't get upset.  You're making a change and that matters more.  I know the scale at every gym I have ever belonged to has been off, so that one probably was too.  When I belonged to the expensive gym, the scale was about 5 lbs off.  I used to weigh myself at home then weigh myself when I'd get there.  It was always around 5 lbs more.  I know driving in my car didn't make me gain in about 10 minutes.

@Seipel12 I definitely understand why you are focused more on your health, it is far more important than work!  I know it's tough, but try to get some work done.  It will take your mind off things are maybe ease your nerves a little.

I make the money in our relationship so when we have children, I will have to go back to work right away (I'm entitled to 6 weeks off).  This has always bothered me but I understand we need money to survive.  SIL keeps complaining that my brother is never around.  She doesn't work so my brother has to work extra to make up for the loss of income.  With all the complaining she is doing lately, it makes me very thankful that I will have to work.  It will stink to be away from LO when our time comes, but at least when I'm not working I will also have time with my H, who won't have to get a second job to support our family.
