feeling fat and ugly
Hi girls.... why are my jeans so tight in the waist.. .. just in the last month or so??? Is it because I'm nearing the big 4-0? I hear that happens sometimes.... but this is just too much.
As I sit here hardly able to breathe. ... I must ask.... I've stopped taking good old BC pills just in the last month... could this be the reason? I'm not too bad anywhere else, just around the middle... is it because I've stopped taking them?
And I've also felt bloated big time since Monday.... is this nerves? Aunt Flo isn't due for another week.... but maybe she's camping out in there anyway?
Just a silly question... ya I'm getting nervous... just wanted to check see if you are all still there???

me too
Oni
I too am having the same problems. Mine is because of a growing fibroid. Doc tells me uterus is about 12 weeks pregnant size. I had to go buy some stretchy comfy lounger pants to wear until my surgery. I am hiding it as good as I can under sweaters and such for I do not want anyone to ask if I am PG, I think I would just break down and cry.
And it also seems alls I want to do is eat. Some things don't taste good and others I just chow on.
I can relate.

Oni:
We need a reason for our waistbands to get too tight? I thought it was just our bodies getting paybacks for high heels, underwire bras and all the other accoutrements of being female.
The last couple weeks before my castle date, I had a puffy tummy. I don't know if it's cuz I gave up holding it in or if I was doing some comfort eating. It's still a little puffy, but I've earned this....it's swelly belly. I do think being tense can bloat you up...everything seems to stop moving (except my mouth keeps eating when I'm stressed).
As for Aunt Flo....just remember....her days are numbered

I'm bloaty, icky, squishy feeling myself today. Have been all week. Don't want to brush my hair or even look inthe mirror. For me I know it's premenstrual. I gain 2-3 lbs in water weight every month. Add to that the whole pre-surgery stress and I am sponge-woman. It's not just you sweety!

You obviously haven't discovered that the The Gap now sells (in a pretty large variety of sizes) their Classic Jeans in STRETCH!!! As a 39-year-old wine-loving woman who has admitted that I'll never be a size 8 again, I have noticed that I've been comfort eating my way across town lately. I've been very bloaty lately as well, but I wonder if your body is also adjusting to a non-pill state?
Try not to worry too much. Post recovery will be the time to worry about the waistline. Heck .. I wouldn't worry at all.
Life is short.

ooooo I meant to mention my current choice of attire on this bloaty day I am having. BIG men's boxer shorts and a men's undershirt!! They were my choice of sleeping attire in college (due to frequent firedrills and pranks from the boy's dorms) and rediscovering them has been wonderful!!!
Had them on 1st thing this a.m. and my hubby asked if I had mugged Archie Bunker during the night
Huggage!
