vent about party I went to today
So I went to a b-day party this afternoon with all of my friends who have recently had #2 I have been doing WW and I have been training for a 10k (which I missed today b/c of monitoring) so I have lost some weight this summer. They are all trying to lose baby weight. I was talking about snacks on WW and points and such. One of them says: should you really be dieting if you are trying to get pg?  A couple of them agree with her I should not. I said: If I waited to diet until after I get pg I would be fat and out of shape. At this rate I may never even be pg again so why should I not take care of myself? Then they changed the subj. But I am still pis*ed over it! They know I have done 2 ivfs. They do not know about my FET but give me a frickin break!! Training and ww have given me a "project" during my break cycle and helped me focus on something other than IF. I am by NO MEANS too skinny. I definitley eat! I am just so amazed by comments some times.

Re: vent about party I went to today
to thier comments. Your wieight loss is none of thier bussiness.
I have done ww and been very successful with it. But, right now, personally, I can't just can't do the stress that goes with the point counting. I know stress plays a part in IF and I have a LOT of really crazy crazy stuff going on.. so I put my weight on a back burner.
But, If you feel like you can handle it .. then DO IT!! There is no reason not lose weight when TTC. In fact.. a healthier weight can only help!

I'm sorry Amanda.  People really can be cruel without even knowing it! ITA w/ J- it's their own insecurities and they're taking them out on you. You're better than them- don't let them get to you!

Re: vent about party I went to today
Sounds like your doing great and Im jealous! But to their defense, maybe they are clueless about it all and were trying to be good friends or trying to be on board? Was it said in a mean or negative way? If so, then my bad, Im wrong. I just know how easiy it is when stressed to take things the wrong way

Re: vent about party I went to today
just wanted to share some I don't think people tryuly understand the struggles of IF unless they have experienced it.
WW is keeping your body healthy nad I agree with the other posters they many be jealous of your weight loss successes

Re: vent about party I went to today
People are so ridiculous
When we were going through everything I went on WW. It was the only thing that gave me control over something in my life and it really helped me have some focus. Plus getting healthy can only help you. I'm sorry they are so insensitive, people really just don't think

Re: vent about party I went to today
I have come to realize---people who comment on your weight loss negatively are jealous because they have a couple of pounds to spare.

Totally what I was going to say. I'm sure it annoyed them to no end that you are TTC and you lost weight. Which also makes you my hero. More power to you that you could do that. Just let it go. Sorry again that you had to miss your 10k. I cannot even imagine thinking of doing that.

Don't listen to them. WW is a very healthy eating plan, it's not truly a diet. It's not like you're taking diet pills, skipping meals, taking food supplements etc.

ITA-you have no idea the stupid "advice" I got when i lost pregnancy after pregnancy. Gems like:
"I heard you should cut out caffeine"
Just pray
You can adopt!

Exactly! People just do not think before they speak.

Re: vent about party I went to today
I know I am stressed and probably taking things to hard but I was just fed up yesterday. I agree WW is not a "crazy" diet. I have given up so many things trying to get pg its annoying when people who have no idea what you go through tell you to give up something else!

Re: vent about party I went to today
I could see if you were on the cabbage soup diet or something totally radical on 300 calories a day but you are really eating healthy and balanced. Let's be honest running is not causing IF problems.
You cannot put off your life waiting and waiting for something. You are doing what is best for you and in the process getting really strong and healthy. I see that as only good.
