PLEEEEEASSSSSSSSEE!!!!! I know I'm a whiner and sometimes I fear your rejection. Because of my hormonal issues, I can really seem like a big complainer, but my condition is partially to blame. I do have a responsibility, the nature of the condition is that it affects me emotionally and distorts my thoughts. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I really do have more complaints than most of you. It's really hard to understand PMDD unless you've experienced it. It helps me to just be able to express this to you--I hope you will give me the benefit of the doubt.
Okay, some of you might remember that I joined Curves about a month ago. I have enjoyed it and find it to be a fun place to workout. Well, today was measurement day. I HAVE GAINED INCHES!!!!LOL (not really--cusssing)Yep, only Cindy could gain 1 1/2 in my STOMACH!!!!!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!! Yes, it's true that some weeks I haven't been there for three workouts---BUT GAINING 1 1/2 INCHES????????????Help, this is driving me nuts.
It just seems that no matter what I try, for some reason God has allowed me to face frustrations.Anti-depressants only worked for a short length of time for me, even though I tried most all of them, at one time or another. The treatments for PMS-bioidentical progesterone did not work for me,...but, this, not getting results from exercise.....I'M FULL-FLEDGED DISCOURAGED!!!!
Thanks for listening,

Now wait a minute, did you gain MUSCLE inches? That could be a good thing! Give yourself time and freak out here whenever you need to. Weeble hugs.
I often wonder if I havr PMDD because the week before my cycle. I am a complete nut case, ;ast thurdsday I took several pills and today...well i slipped agian. I dont want to live like this. M psy wants me to be hospitlized but I refuse. I didnt take enough to kill me, but its still not safe. I feel so dumb when I do that crap. but I feel like its not me making these decisions. Weord.
maybe karenls is right maybe you gained muscle smile...i have pms but not pmdd which i have heard is very hard on you emotionally and physically..i feel for you sweetie...and i\'m sorry antidepressants don\'t work for you...i don\'t know what i would do without mine be depressed i guess...my heart goes out to you sweetie...and i\'m praying for you too..hugs sweetie love ya bunches...terri
PS - anyone who rejects you will not be protected by Weeble mojo...
Ditto to Weeb\'s comments. Could be muscle or water weight gain (bloat) depending on the time of your cycle or the tape measure could have been in a slightly different place this time than last. OR a combination of any of those things SO what I\'m saying is NO FREAKING OUT....that\'s my job! We love to be here for you...so whine away!!! Much luv and many hugs to you!!
Hey wait a minute -- I don\'t think anyone here has a corner on the market of complaints! DH hasn\'t really ticked me off lately or you all would have had an earful by now! Ditto Karen -- I know my thighs got bigger when I started walking again and are just now starting to actually get smaller in size. And anyway, it\'s just a number -- why let it ruin the good exercise and company you are getting at Curves?
Hang in there. The exercise will definitely pay off if you stick with it. The muscle actually pushes the fat out sometimes before it has shrunk down enough to notice. You are doing the right stuff for your body and mind. We all wish for instant gratification--me especially!
Not only muscle, as Karen mentioned, but gravity! OOOH how I HATE gravity!!! When I have to stuff my boobs in my pockets, I\'m going on a serious gravity strike! Don\'t give up hope, hun. In time you will see results!
xoxo
I completely understand your struggle. I too struggle with PMDD, and a weight issue. Seems like every time a take a tiny step forward, I am shoved 3 huge leaps back by my PMDD. I know the saying is muscle weighs more than fat.. maybe that goes for measurements too LOL. Keep your chin up best you can, we are here to help support you.
Blessings to you I still love you anyhow, keeping you close to my heart.
Blessings to you. keep intouch, everything is going to be alright.
