Realities

one of the problems with being overweight, particularly morbidly overweight, are the associated health issues.

Extremely overweight individuals have so many health risks and problems that when one finally overcomes them, it is a great thing.

For me a number of my issues were:  higher blood pressure, fatty liver disease, no menses, stress on the joints, headaches, heartburn, lack of flexibility- JUST TO NAME A FEW

The one that seems to change the most when I am on the right track is the no menses. Both times now that I have lost weight, this wonderful 'gift' has returned---sort of.  Men--stop reading if you are icked out by female problems.....

SO as I said both of the times now that I've lost significant weight, my monthly friend returns--full blast. Totally awful and makes me remember why I used to rejoice in saying "Oh. I don't have a period anymore".      The thing is, that happens with the first.  I get it heavy and all out awful.
Next month is significantly lighter and shorter.   Then the month after barely a sign of any blood.
After that I get all the awesome PMS symptoms (sarcasm there people) but absolutely no bleeding.
This was the problem I had ORIGINALLY when my monthly fried began to go away.

Soo discussing this with my awesome Doc had me signed up for an Ultrasound.   The wonderful vaginal ultrasound as well as external.    Now....first I must ask...Why do they always say "Now this will be cold" when applying the gel on TV??  This is my second ultrasound and both times it was very warm.    Back on topic....   So this past week I've had all the symptoms, as I've mentioned earlier.   The cramping, the breakouts, the ravenous chocolate cravings and then I have this wonderful THING shoved up there and moved around in my already cramping lady parts and now I'm cramping worse..... UGH

SO now we wait to make sure there is nothing else wrong or is it just the warranty starting to go?

So losing weight can help get rid of some issues, but it may also uncover others......
