I have spoken about this many times but I wanted to update you on my Menopausal Madness. I have made no secret about going through the menopause and all that it brings, mostly the mood swings, weight gain and hot flushes.
As someone who has been so weight conscious over the past few years and having a target weight that I wouldn’t go past…. well, I am past it and by a LONG way. To look at me you would say, shut up, what are you going on about, attention seeker, nothing wrong with you, it’s alright for you…. to mention just a few of the comments I have had, but it’s all about how you feel about yourself and, for me, having such a huge closet of clothes, it’s all about being able to fit into them.
I started HRT on Monday and was at GP earlier in the week. I told her about my weight struggles and how I had been dieting for 2 weeks and not lost a single pound. I am someone who is used to dieting and losing weigh easily, however, no amount of cutting back is shifting this weight. She told me to ditch the scales and concentrate on letting the HRT set in and once it does, everything else will fall into place. Yeah, right, I will believe it when I see it…….. however, someone said to me last night that I am not the same person I was last year and that I have changed, I am hard on myself and negative about myself and it’s not a nice trait. This comment was the kick up the butt I needed as when friendships and relationships are being affected, it’s time to re-evaluate.
So, I got up this morning, put my game face as well as my make-up face on, did my hair, looked in the mirror and said, if I can’t even like myself, let alone love myself, how can I expect anyone else to???
With this in mind ladies, we really need to give ourselves a break and say ‘enough already’, let’s embrace aging and all that goes with it and just enjoy life. What will be, will be.
