in the words of Shania Twain -- DAMN! I Feel Like a Woman

My breasts are swollen and sore.  My nipples are tender ..... it's been awhile since my hormones have this kind of party.  I have skillfully gained 5 pounds in the last 10 days.  I mean like BAM.  I check my wieght like clock work.  yes i am obsessed.  and there it was staring back at me.  155.  What The Hell!  I was pissed because I'd swelled up to 150 over the last couple months, now suddenly 5 lbs appears.
i am tired.  No not bitvhing that I am tired of the gain, tired in the sense that I need to sleep!  All this week, stupid tired.  Yes, it has crossed my mind to go get a prego test.  The last one I took was a mnth ago before my last period ...er....spotting episode.  I highly doubt that any positive news would come back of it, but I may check anyhow to be sure.
Frig - this last 5 has put me 10 over last year this time and I can ow officially not fit my dress pants for work!  Squeezing into them and bursting the seams as I have been is no longer working.  Today I wear my L.A. jeans as it is Friday.  the waist band is higher and keeps me belly in place a bit better.
Although the curves aren't so horrible, the stretching of the skin sucks and itches.  The overall heaviness is not so hot either.
I am thinking its just bloatation and after this weekend of Green tea, Salad and popcorn i might shed at least enough to feel comfortable in my skin for next week.

Happened to me too :( I bawled my eyes out. I gained 50lbs in a matter of a year all during Perimenopause. Then boom! I was in full menopause at 47. I thought my life was over. I tried to lose the stupid weight but nothing helped. Finally I stumbled upon intermittent fasting and my life changed forever. I’ve done the eat stop eat method now for 4 years, lost the 50 lbs and have kept it off. I can also eat whatever I want with no regrets. I feel like a kid again with lots of energy and even look younger than I have in a long time. I blog about it now too because I want to shout it from the rooftops! crunchymenopause.com
