Hi Blackrose,
Firstly, congrats on your weight loss, it is a quarter down not up so well done.
Secondly, take your measurements, they do help when the scales tell you one thing and you feel another.
Thirdly, the sh***y subject, someone posted about this before, when you sit on the loo use a small foot stool, if not possible a small pile of books. Put your feet up on them, it takes the strain off and tilts you in the right direction. As someone else said that's why kids have their butt so far down the loo they look like they will fall in, this may help.
Hope you are feeling a bit better tonight.
Take care.
