the good news
saw the gynaecologist this afternoon and she basically gave me the all-clear. i suffer from PPA (post-pill amenorrhea, just like i thought) which made my ovaries lazy to produce eggs. so i can breathe a big sigh of relief that i don't have anything sinister going on, which would explain the lack of menses. hooray! i've booked myself for a pelvis ultrasound, just to check that my structures are all fine. if they are (and my gynae thinks they should be) fine, i'll wait for another 4-6 months just to see if my period will naturally come back. if it doesn't then she'll have to induce it, which i guess hopefully will kickstart everything. i did ask what if i wanted to start a family (don't get your hopes up too high yet!), will what i have make it difficult for me to get pregnant. she said not to worry because my structures seem fine and medications should help me with ovulating again.
now that i have a clean bill of health... i better get on with my healthy eating efforts! last weekend wasn't too bad. i didn't binge eat and i knew my stomach's limits. stopped before i started to feel sick. although i overindulged on pistachio gelato on friday... had a bad hankering for it and decided to polish off a tub in one sitting. not very good and i shouldn't be surprised if the needle on the scale decide to tip to the right. i better clean up my act and eat reasonable portions of everything! it's hard when some foods just taste awesome. oh well.
much better at limiting chocolates but it doesn't help if i had 2.5 bowls of ginataan halo-halo (the ultimate rainy day comfort food) for dinner. and i also cooked a lot yesterday and had to taste, taste and taste just to make sure everything was fine. must change these little habits! otherwise it'll just be impossible to lose the extra weight. ooh boy. such hard work!
