Crash and burn last night...got home and the dh said "let's get pizza" I did good, ate 2 pieces (pie was cut into 10ths) and some greek salad with grilled chicken to up the protein...3 hours later i got into some leftover macaroni salad ...not too bad...then came the mindless eating of doritos...then the guilt, the thought of purging actually crossed my mind - no I don't purge, but the thought crossed my mind. All in all I probably didn't completely destroy the day but I have been gaining.........
I think the gain is hormonal though. About a week and a half ago I had a mirena iud placed. I can tell the hormones are starting to affect me as I have been having to watch my temper and mood. Then for like the last week I have been kind of bloated and starting sat or sunday my feet and ankles started swelling...so bad i have pitting edema and I have limited movement in my ankles. Needless to say- I am retaining a lot of water...so I hope the weight gain is all water. I am trying to limit salt (ok, ok, not so much last night) and drink lots of water to flush. I am also going to call my dr. today and tell her how bad the swelling is in my feet. I hope everything balances out soon...Nothing like bc related weight gain to throw a wrench in your weight loss plans.
