let me preface by saying that i know my eating hasn't been 100%, BUT, that seems only to be partially to blame.
i am gaining weight. and it's really really killing me. but the more i think about it, i wonder if it's NOT just my food. what do you think?
1. i ran a marathon in october (23rd), and two halfs (nov 4) (nov 19) without much recovery between
2. i went off the pill after 10 years (it's been one month)
3. before the pill, i was diagnosed with PCOS (i wonder if it's rearing it's ugly head???)
4. i stopped taking zoloft (about 3 weeks ago)
thoughts? experiences? HELP!
i absolutely do NOT want to resort to unhealthy starvation tactics. that is certainly not how i lost 100+ lbs.

*ahem* It couldn't have anything to do with this could it? No way you're pregnant?0 -
Food, going off the pill, having PCOS, going off zoloft can ALL contribute... you basically came off of hormonal and neuron stabilizers.... yup, it definitely can contribute...
As far as the food goes, if you arent 100% commited.....0 -
