sohrshah's journal and it seems apropos, so I'm posting it here for myself: ( Read more... )
I've been wrangling with the weightloss demons a lot recently. Uzbekistan will do that do a girl. Plus I've been on a bunch of avoiding pregnancy with FAM sites that have a lot of women waiting to conceive before weightloss. I couldn't help wondering if there was a medical reason for this, or if it was all just aesthetics. It seems that there are studies out there which claim that pre-natal hypertension and incontinence have higher instances in obese women. Heart problems and depends do not sound like fun when already trying to deal with another human being in one's body. That seems like a pretty good reason to try and revise some of my eating habits. I am not going to set any sort of goal weight or size. I just want to be a healthier host for the baby we plan on conceiving in 2 years. I figure if I start now, I might have a chance of gradual success rather than yo-yo craziness.
So February looks like inner-cleaning-out month for R and I. He had already talked about going on something of an alchohol fast to try and re-normalize his body after all the guesting-induced binge drinking. I agreed with him and said we should also try to revamp what we're eating and the portions we have. At home I don't think it will be too much of a problem. Trying to be somewhat reasonable about eating/drinking while guesting under pressure is going to be much more difficult.
