You're allowed to vent anything you want!  

I feel your pain....going through "the change" myself- early for medical reasons. It is NOT fun at all & it sure does slow down the metabolism. 

I hear that it drives you crazy but, fortunately, it's only temporary. :-) Keep focused on healthy eating and that will make you feel better, at least on that level. Don't let ANYTHING get you down mygranners, keep going! 

I'm sorry about this struggle for you. Just remember if the scales aren't showing the results, your body is still thanking you for your choices of good healthy foods and in the long run, it will pay off greatly! My girlfriend and I would say "those meany "hores" are a "maonin"!" lol Hormones= Hores-moanin... get it... HAHAHA! I know, but serious, just keep on keeping on and know who much healthier you are making your body, from the inside out. Not to mention we sometimes hit plateuas and as frustrating as they are, if we keep going, they don't last too long. :) Keep up the great work! 

I guess you are one of the unlucky ones in that the changes is "doing this to you" - I saw many a women when I worked, practically blow up at their time - I was fortunate, in that I got fat on my own. Just stick to your program, and try to put the changes in back of your mind. You certainly can't control them, but you can put your mind to eating properly, keeping calm in the face of mood swings, and not going scale crazy. As you say, you are being good on your diet; trash the other thoughts. 

you want me to come to pa and be your walkin buddy...we can get that chart a divin...just get your mind on healthy eats and exercise...and you will be ok... 

I know it is frustrating. My mom is here visiting me this weekend and she is going through the exact same thing. She is not a happy camper! You are doing great and are always such a great encourager to us all. 

I had a total hysterectomy less than a year ago, I think that attributed to some of my bad health lately, no HT because I am high cancer risk, BUT my doctor really approves of this diet. It sucks enough, you'd think at this point in your life you deserve for things to just get easier, then THAT happens to us. Be sure to let your doctor know everything going on with you and remember to take care of yourself and never be afraid to ask for help or info. Best wishes to ya. 

Ann Louise has a book and there are specific supplements for women going through the change. You may want to check them out.
