Hi I'm having real problems staying positive and motivated right now. My weight is my biggest issue cos I'm now 19 stone and a comfort eater. I lost quite a lot of weight through SW before we started trying but now that's all back on and more cos I just can't feel happy or relaxed anymore. Finally plucked up the courage to see a doctor in April after 3 yrs trying who was surprisingly nice (I'd put off going cos assumed the attitude would be that I don't deserve help with having a baby because of my weight). We were referred to the fertility clinic and I finally went for a HSG yesterday but it was abandoned cos after 30 mins of the doctor prodding me and then stabbing at me with the catheter in the hope she could get it in blindly she still couldn't find my cervix. I just feel like I take one step forward and 3 back all the time. I hate my job but feel trapped because of the baby situation not to mention the recession and just don't see the point of me being here. I have no purpose in life.
Has anyone else managed to succeed with their diet when feeling quite low? The ridiculous thing is, whatever the outcome of our fertility issues the immediate answer is to lose weight- I can't have any treatment whatsoever until my BMI is 39 or below and 29 or below for IVF but I just can't focus on the diet.
I'm really sorry for the pitiful, whining post. I know there are loads out there worse off than me and it's all my own fault and I should concentrate on all the good things, etc but it's easier said than done sometimes.
