September 2WW

[Mochagirl]

I think the worst thing about this whole TTC/swaying thing is that often we can't get support from the people in our lives because we're keeping the whole process a secret and having to act normal in everyday life. I think that's why this virtual support network is so important. Hugs to all of you having a bad day!

Emmy, I definitely had an implantation bleed with DS2 at 5dpo and I really don't remember getting an early BFP with him. I'm pretty sure I tested the day before AF was due and that the line was so feint I nearly threw the test away. You're still in but {hugs} for feeling as though you're not x

Emmy, glad you are looking toward September with a positive attitude, but you are NOT out yet! I hate looking toward the next month with the diet also....I know you pink swayers probably hate me saying this, but at least you guys get to LOSE weight and not gain it! I feel like a cow, and like Mocha was saying, everyone in my life thinks I've let myself go or become depressed because of the m/c's, but I can't tell them I am intentionally getting heavier in hopes of a boy! ITA with you, Mocha, this site is such an amazing place of support for us!

People are really suspicious of me losing weight quickly too, when they ask how I've done it and I say I'm just eating less and not snacking between meals it seems like a long tale - and obviously it's not something I've ever managed to do before so it's weird I suddenly have all this will power. I feel like I'm lying to everyone even when I'm not! This site is such a support

I'm worried people think I have an eating disorder. I wasn't big to begin with, but I would say I was on the high side of average, and I am well known for having a very large appetite and never having dieted a day in my life. Now people see me having tiny portions of food and know right away something is up. I'm really worried about a big family event coming up when I'll be seeing all my brothers, SILs, aunts, uncles and cousins. I think after losing 20 lbs I need to come up with a better answer than 'my 3 boys just keep me on the run all the time' when people ask me if I've lost weight - it's a flat-out lie, and they know it.

You'll have to layer your clothes or something so you don't look too tiny! You have a good handle on your diet now though mocha, you're doing great at keeping your weight steady. I think people must think it's odd that when I do eat I eat such rubbish - one minute they're asking how I've lost weight and the next I'm sat at my desk eating a jam tart or a cake!!

big hugs girl, I havent been on the diet that long just started last month so no really major weight loss for people to comment, but maybe tell them that you have been trying to get healthy such as eating more fruits and veggies and drinking lots of water and doing aerobics? and you had no clue that you would drop so much weight and then laugh like its no big deal maybe??

havent Oed yet anyday now though, GL everybody!!

Unfortunately, baggy clothes make me look even more sickly. I figure I might as well flaunt my new Size 0 body like I'm proud of it and people might be less likely to assume I have an eating disorder. The big event I'm going to in a month is my cousin's wedding, and I'm planning to buy a new dress for the occasion. I figure I'll probably never be a Size 0 again, so I might as well enjoy it! Some of you may remember that a while back I was trying to decide what dinner to order on my RSVP for this wedding: the veggie option or steak. I did end up ordering the steak, and when I got my BFN this month briefly thought about emailing to ask them to change it to veggie...but I decided that I'm going to eat the steak regardless as a big treat - I'll either have just found out I'm pregnant or have af and be starting my 6th month on the diet, so I think I'll deserve a steak! It'll also help deflect some of the questions if people see me digging into a big, fatty meal like that.
