How am I suppose to stick to this diet 24/7 when I am such an emtional eater. Seriously! Am I being a baby about this? Here I am right now at my brother's house babysitting with Dh and I just get so emtionally down seeing the children my brother and his wife have. I am so happy for them, but I would just like the same thing for us as well :) Not only this but there is FREAKING pizza in the oven that was calling my name so I lost it and passed off my endo diet dish to Dh and ran and grabbed a slice of pizza. Should I just enjoy it if I am at my breaking point and just try again later or should I just quit now. I am really just talking out loud about this. I know I should keep trying and maybe this will get easier. I have decided though for my 30th birthday I am going to eat whatever I want at that party. Seriously, I am already sad about turning 30 and not having any living babies so sticking to the diet on that day is not going to go over well.
For you girls that have or that are doing any sort of diet to have with fertility right now, can you give me some advice? How do you do it? (Especially during special events?)
Now for a cycle update...today is P+8 and I forgot, yes forgot, to take my HCG injection yesterday so I took it around 1:45pm today. Where is my head? I also forgot to pick up my blood work today from the hospital to mail. I can't believe I am being so forgetful about fertility stuff lately!!!! I am driving myself nuts. haha!
I weird type period cramping today for awhile that I thought was a bit to early to start having. I wonder what that means. Oh, by the way, now we're just waiting for Dh's SA results. I can't wait to hear what they are!!!! I am such an impatient person. haha!
It is so nice to be blogging again...now I am going to catch up on some blog reading:)

O.k. make that two slices of pizza and 1/2 a beer. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you are back! Missed you!! That coffee cake looks divine!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any suggestions about the diet, but I did find I felt the best when doing South Beach phase I. I had a client that did the endo diet and conceived 8 months after surgery. Have you considered coming to see Dr. S? He is always so hopeful and knows a lot about endo.
Have you gone back to the cycle you conceived and repeated that protocol?
When I was trying to transition food choices, I did it slowly. I didnt try and go cold turkey... but rather fold more and more each week into the endo diet. Don't get frustrated. Just try and do better the next day. One night of pizza and a few nights in a row of good food, is still positive in the right direction :)
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys.
PS I had an alarm set to remind us about the HCG shots. And since DH helped, he was there to remind me to take em too. ALSO since I HATE shots, we talked about a little something special as a reward for getting them down each cycle... Starbucks on the last day of the shot or some treat :) Just a thought :)
I've had food allergies my whole life so it's pretty easy for me to avoid foods. As for eating at events I always make sure that I eat something at home so if I can't find things that are in my diet, I don't have to eat anything (or eat just a bit).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicole, you should set an alarm. I set one on my cell phone to remind me when to take my antibiotics and it has worked like a charm.
80% diet 20% commercial food! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! I had the greatest pizza the other day. I bought one piece and then went back and bought another piece!
FJIEF told me that there are 21 meals a week. 2 meals of messing up won't kill you! ;)
As you transition your taste buds will change too. :) I promise, it doesn't take long. Though I'm not on the endo diet, I'm just going organic and farm meat. We will see how long it lasts. :) I go in spurts. :)
Missed you glad you are back!
