FFFC

[jojoandleo]

So, i have been at my new job one week. I love the people, but am disappointed with the work I've been assigned. I was hired on to the coverage opinion section, which is legal research and writing. Yay! Except, I've been working on litigation. Which is fine, it's what I've been doing, but I WANT TO JUST DO RESEARCH AND DRAFT MEMOS ABOUT IT!

[calle28]

I am seeing new guy today. It will be our 4th hangout in 7 days. Our first date was on Saturday, then we hung out on Tuesday for his birthday. We hung out yesterday and he's coming over again today. I'm pretty sure we'll spend all weekend together.

It seems like a lot, but we just really like each other.

I think my Mirena might be the cause of my dramatic weight gain. But then again I might be in total denial. But I'm the heaviest I've ever been by 25 pounds and my habits haven't really changed. If anything I got somewhat healthier. I've never been one to work out but I stopped drinking as much and I eat okay. It could be MUCH better but this the way I've always eaten. And I've put on 40 pounds in 1.5 years. About the same timing as get the Mirena in. I went from a size 6 to size 16. That seems really weird to me. Or I'm
In totally denial. I'm giving it a month of being super careful what I eat and working out, if things don't budge this is out.

Also I like morning texts now.

I haven't seen my boyfriend in person since ...May?! He's flying in tonight because we're headed to Warsaw for the weekend. I am very much not excited. I keep telling myself that it's because I've been way too stressed at work to be excited about leaving for the airport at 3:30 am on a Saturday. Which is probably true. But part of me wonders if I'm getting too used to having my place to myself.

Also, I feel like we have to have sex, since it's been so long. And that completely kills my sex drive. Vicious circle, eh?

I gained weight when I got my Mirena put it and lost it when it was taken out.  Was it a random coincidence or not?  I don't know.

I just bought a dozen cupcakes for 30 to celebrate divorce being signed off by the judge!

This is very interesting! I've seen a lot of these stories online and I have to believe they all didn't balloon and then have it taken up and then lose it. Although I'm so scared after my accidental pregancy last year about not having something fairly fail proof in place. Maybe the patch or ring would be a good option for me.

I didn't believe it until I saw it happen with my own body.  Do you have a thyroid problem?  It seems like people thyroid issues experience side effects that those without don't experience.

Not sure if you've discussed this before, but what about the IUD paragard? Just as effective, but no hormones.

[bl]

@pdx18 I second the paragard. I have had it for about 3 years now and I love it.

I think any hormonal BC can cause weight gain. I had the ring for years and it made me dry out. I've never had the patch. But you may want to try a non-hormonal IUD. Fewer side effects. I have Mirena because it stopped my periods and I fucking loooooooooooooove being period free.

I didn't lose any weight when I had mine removed :-(

I did the Depo shot for years and did not have weight gain. Plus no period!!!! I called the Dr today about starting back since I hope to be divorced 10/1.

I also have the Paragard and love it. Well, it is pretty much the only form of BC besides condoms that I can use so I have to love it.

It does make your periods to be much heavier though so it's not all pretty.

I saw an ex co-worker this week. I had not seen the guy in 2 years and the guy had a hard time to recognize me. Ouch. I was not this fat back at the time.

I gained 25 pounds once my Mirena was put in and I'm having a tough time getting it off now that I had it removed. Ugh

[pinkdutchtulips]

work closed early today bc of the holiday weekend ... i let dd stay at after school care while i folded laundry .... it amazes me how much faster stuff gets done w/o her !

[bg]

I went to a hot yoga class this morning where the heater 'went rogue.' So so hot and it effected how I felt for the rest of the day. Now I'm feeling better so I'm going to do some writing and watch some tennis. Happy long weekend!

One of the lawyers at my firm are leaving. I'm sad she is leaving, but I'm happy that I am getting her ground level office! So long cubical; hello door being shut!

Oooh....snatchy co-worker has got to be loving this!
I'm happy for you.

My FFFC (or it may even be flameful, IDGAF): DH works with a guy that had surgery for prostate surgery. He's had a rough recovery, and after hearing it, DH decided right then that it was time to stop with the chewing tobacco. I'm ecstatic about that, but he wants to just "man up" and quit cold-turkey rather than stepping down. I'm trying to be understanding, because I understand that nicotine addiction is one of the hardest to beat, but how understanding am I supposed to be? So far, he's mostly kept it under control, but he's let some impatience and irritability show. Right now, we both just kind of pretend nothing was said, but it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about punching him in the balls. I really wish he'd just use some gum or patches, at least for the first few days.

Did you mean morning SEX? If not...well, ok, lol.

There's a long running debate here if morning texts are cute or needy/intrusive, lol.

Yep what MP said. Morning sex has and always will be very much enjoyed haha. But yes previously morning texts have felt way too clingy to me when first dating someone. But with this guy they just make me smile.

Thank you! Co-irker doesn't know yet. I plan on just moving my ish in a few weeks while she isn't there. "Where's abcdefu?" "uhhh I'm pretty sure she is IN HER NEW OFFICE!! Muahahahahaha!" BOOM!

This is kind of different, since he and I live in the same town and see each other regularly, but I had a hard time adjusting last year when my BF got back from an extended trip. It wasn't that I didn't miss him, because I did, but I started a new job while he was gone (my first job working outside my house in 8 years) and sort of built my time around that. By the time he got back, I was too exhausted from the new job, plus my two kids, that it took a few weeks for me to feel like we were back to normal. It wasn't the joyous reunion I thought it would be. I still loved him like crazy, but getting together was more like, "let me add yet another item to my to-do list..." It got better, thank goodness. I hope you have a great trip!

You know, this just made a light bulb go off over my head. I cannot lose weight for the life of me, and I've been super careful with my eating and work out when I can (which isn't much but the dieting should be helping). I started taking the mini pill at 6 weeks post partum and didn't give it much thought because I did fine on the regular pill for years but maybe that is the culprit!! I was just saying to T last night that I'm going to stop taking it. I get a lot of spotting but no regular period and I think I'm moodier (he agreed, but that could be from post partum hormones and/or lack of sleep too). I hope it will help my weight loss too!

Glad to hear that it's not just me! The weekend turned out pretty well, and after the first night (which was just sleeping since we needed to be up by 3am), things settled back to normal. We had a pretty fun weekend in spite of being exhausted from the crappy early morning flights and consistently getting on the wrong buses and trams. (How many times can you say, "Let's just see if this one goes to the right place" before you learn your lesson?! Haha!)

What does a dozen cupcakes for 30 mean? Are 30 people sharing a dozen cupcakes? Or did you buy 30 people a dozen cupcakes each? Only one is an acceptable answer.

(I'm trying to even figure out the typo)

Maybe a dozen cupcakes for 30 dollars? Because 12 cupcakes for 30 people
Is unacceptable, yet flameful.
