I have officially lost 12.4 lbs as of last Thursday! So my first 10lbs (plus) gone! Woo hooo! No time to celebrate though because I've got a ton more to lose and I really want to get off of this diet sooner rather than later. I'm struggling quite a bit with staying in the box (what they call eating all their food or only approved foods) Which I guess it is a learning curve for my body and my mind. But I'm trying, and that's the important part.
I've had all my pregnant friends deliver that I wrote about earlier in the year. 7 of them in the past 2 months or so. Many of them boys!!! So now I've got a whole fresh batch of preggo friends popping up. Go figure. I can't catch a break! Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for them! Just sad for me. My co-worker came to me this morning (after I had been wanting to ask her if she was pregnant again yet.. joking but also knowing her and her hubby had planned on it being October ish before getting pregnant again) and sure enough she says "hey, can you keep a secret?" Immediately I knew and I jumped up and hugged her. She's had a loss (her first pregnancy) at like 17 weeks, then carried her rainbow boy and he's a little over a year now. So she's so excited but also really worried. Here's the tally; friend one is about 15 weeks with baby 2, friend two is 11 weeks with baby 1 and friend three is 4.5 weeks (brand new!) with baby 2. I wonder who else will be announcing in the next few weeks? I'm trying so hard not to feel sorry for myself these days, but it's not easy. I keep cursing my body every time I have a patient who has regular periods.. 12 times a year they have a chance to get pregnant. Me? I'm lucky if it's 2 times a year. Blah.
