Scratch That November 15, 2005
Please disregard my previous post. I’m just a big whiner. I mean seriously, there are a ton of worse things than having your pants fit a little tighter than you would like. Hell, I’ve got real things I could complain about like the fact that I’m missing my kitty so much or that every time I think about how much I want to get pregnant again the whole miscarriage thing pops into my brain. Weighing a little more than I’d like to is small potatoes when you think about it.
I guess sometimes it’s just nice to vent. I haven’t been Miss Suzy Sunshine lately, more like a big Grump-a-mump. Sometimes it’s hard to deal with it all. Even the little things start seeming like big things. It helps to get it all out.

Apology not accepted if only bc it was so unnecesarry in the first place! It SUCKS to feel like you’re working hard towards something and not seeing results, whether you’re talking about losing weight or making a baby. And don’t even get me started on how hard it is not to recognize your body after all that IF has done to it. So vent away… for yourself and for all of us.
Ok, mm’s post pretty much said it all so….DITTO!!!
I agree with the above poster…nothing to apologize about. It is annoying to put in all that effort and not see results…I hope those stubborn pounds melt away soon.
Me three, I agree with the above posters as well! Of course you can vent about this, how frustrating it must be! You have been doing such a great job, and I am sure your body is healthier (if not lighter, dammit) because of it. Hope your it figures this out and those pounds come off soon.
Sorry — that last line should read “Hope your body figures this out soon and those pounds come off soon.”
I agree. Vent away. For you it’s five pounds. For me it’s 15. It still sucks. And particularly when you’ve been working so hard. Sound familar at all?
Vent away! I’ve been doing pretty much the same thing as you, and I did lose 12 pounds after my miscarriage, but then I started putting it back on! I’ve gained at least four pounds back.
Agree with the other posters- I know you feel somewhat self conscious about your body (based on your prior posts) even though you shouldn’t. But you can’t help the way you feel, and when you’re feeling depressed/borderline clinical depression, not being able to fit into your pants is like the icing on the “I Hate My Life” cake.
Vent away…
Yep, no aplogoy needed. The extra weight just sucks, if it’s 2 pounds or 15(in my case).
Can I join you in being a Grump-a-mump?
