Re: anyone having lots of weight gain?

I remember gaining 20 pounds in a couple of months on a pretty healthy and strict way of eating- and the only reason I found out why was because I suffered a personal trauma and it all came off in a few weeks! Anything that comes on or off that fast is water. I realized my slow metabolism kept water on from allergy meds I had tried. It would just NOT come off...until the trauma sent my whole system in over drive and dumped it! If not for my unfortunate situation, I would probably still be here with the extra weight scratching my head over that.

So, I am just never sure how I will get answers! But, I did want to encourage you that if you think there is some particular way of eating that might help, to simply aim in that direction assuming you will fall off the horse on bad days. I have learned all I get with my AF is doing what I can each day in each moment. (This has actually been an overall blessing in teaching me to live differently.) The biggest problem in these matters that I see is the inability to be consistent due to the fatigue and other symptoms. The only way I can react to that is not expect to be consistent. But, have something I am aiming for when I feel good.
