So that was my seventh cycle, which I got in July. My August one was about the same, maybe a day longer. In late August, I realized I’d maybe cut corners and taken more steps back than I had previously thought but I still got my period. September was full of stress and I ended up not getting my period that month. But I got it on the first of this month and it last about four/five days and the first three, the bleed was quite steady and strong. I think it WAS stress but also eating. In late September, I started worrying that I wasn’t gonna get my period even though I was sure I’d ovulated. I buckled down and ate more, even going so far as baking myself some very decadent treats and walking less. It didn’t come down and I felt so defeated but I ended up getting it. I definitely needed to let myself rest and eat a bit more than I was. I don’t know why I still get hung up over that. My weight has leveled out. In December of last year, I hit 175 and I’ve maintained that (tho I have lost a few lbs in the past two months) and haven’t gained any more weight. Yet there’s this fear, this fear that I’ll get so big even though my body has shown me that she’s at her set point weight for the time being. THANK YOU FOR THE CALL-OUT ON NUTRITION BC I WAS DEF IN DENIAL ABOUT MY EATING.
