Damn BC!!!

So I was watching the The Doctors yesterday (I don't make a habit of it, but nothing else was on & it caught my eye). Anyways, so as I was watching the show it said that weight gain & increased appetite can be a side effect of birth controls pills. So I immediatly googled my BC, and guess what?? Yep! A side effect is weight gain & increased appetite!! Are you kidding me?!?!  Two issue's I've been having!!

I've been saying ever since having Shawna that I can't seem to get my eating under control, well never in my wildest dreams did I ever think to chalk it up to my BC pill. The weight gain too. And it's not even that I've gained all that much weight, and I think that's cuz I've been doing enough exercising to keep it under control. But I haven't been losing either, I've just been maintaining. The under controlled eating has definitely been an issue though for sure!!

Needless to say Brannen & I had a long talk last night about me getting off of BC & us getting something else figured out in the way of bc, whatever that may end up being.

I'm just so happy to finally have answers to more than one question or problem that I've been having. Though in my defense I really just thought it was the after effects of having Shawna. And again, never for a minute did I think that my BC pill could affect my weight & eating! Anyways, we'll see how weigh in tomorrow goes. Honestly I'm not expecting anything great. The whole watching my calories didn't make it very far this week, as it's the week before my period. Basically I eat everything in sight! LOL!! Wish me luck!! :)
