Lets see... mine was during my infertility treatment, 2x actually. I was on about 6 injections a day, 2-3 pills a day, and daily sonograms. I gained a lot of weight when I went into hyperstim and my body swelled to look literally 8 months pregnant. Not to mention the meds made me hungry 24-7. I still get comments from colleagues outside of my section asking how my new baby is. Anyway, my kidneys couldn't take much more; and $30K of 2 failed IVF attempts I had to do something. My khakis looked like spandex. That was it!
I always depended on FINALLY getting pregnant to avoid diets. I was going to get bigger before I had to worry about diets, right? Countless months went by and the weight creeped up. Then the meds put things into overdrive.
My last failed IVF was February. I started to eat better. I was so insecure and my husband got me a boob job for my birthday in June. He's an A man, not a T man, so don't assume it was for him! After starting to feel sexy again, I took low carbing more seriously. When the pounds started to melt away, I started yoga to tone and voila! I went from a size 14 to a 4 in a total of 9 months.
Of course, I have another 5 lbs to go toward my goal. I can't fit any of my clothes (like potato sacks) but I don't want to buy anything else until I'm done. No complaints about that!
