Since my surgery my hormones have been on one extreme roller coaster. First I was in a medical menopause which was insane, I had all side effects besides the weight gain. I actually lost weight on this shot that was supposed to make me gain. My weight went from 156 to 140.5 (my lowest weight no matter what I have tried in the past 4 years!) in a couple of months. I have was always disgusting skinny until I miscarried 4 years ago and I packed on the pounds. Ever since then I have been battling my weight. I was thinking this surgery and shot have helped put my hormones right again. To drop 15.5lbs in 3 months was nuts. The best part was I was eating healthy and working out but still not doing all that great with my diet on the weekends, b/c we were traveling to NOLA every weekend. I was still dropping the weight. I was hoping to continue and get down to about 135…then my doctor gives me the birth control shot, agh…another fat shot!!! But here I go with this innocent way of thinking, I have been dropping all this weight I will be fine. Well now that I am almost done with it Aug 1st, thank goodness!!! I have gained back some of the weight. It baffles me b/c nothing in my diet/workout plan had really changed besides my hormones. Soo come August 1st my hormones should be settling back to normal, no more birth control, no more injections of any sort. My body can just be normal and hopefully I will get to where I want to be.

However, I am going to try and eat really clean for the whole next month even on weekends. Which went well for me this past weekend. I am excited to see where my body will go from here. Everything is tightening up like I want it to, I can see my abs, my butt is still bubbly but firm, and the cellulite is almost nonexistent!!
