Heaviest Ever

So I went to the gynae the other day... And to my horror, I was forced to step on the scale for the first time in a year. To my even horror, I found out that I am at my heaviest EVER!! (Which was strange to me and Jansen since I'm definitely skinnier than last year) Jansen says the scale must be screwy. I hope it is too.

THEN yesterday I stumbled upon my very very old pictures from when I first graduated from JC. And lo and behold, I say for the first time how skinny I was... Iwas as skinny as a twig!! All lean muscles and zero percent body fat. In comparison, I feel like a fat stuffed sausage bursting at the seams today.

My weight gain has been attributed medically to the condition I have that is known as polycystic ovaries. In summary, it means that I'm too damn fertile for my own good. My eggs ripen at a faster rate than most and for some unbeknownst reason decide not to leave my ovaries, as such, they break down in my ovaries instead of my uterus to form these 'cysts'. On top of that, because they are breaking down in the wrong place, the eggs are producing the wrong hormones... Testosterone instead of oestrogen.

Implications:

1. Increase in body hair (fortunately not the case for me)
2. Increase in weight (SIGH)
3. Increase in muscle mass (SIGH)
4. Increase in ability to gain muscle mass (SIGH)
5. Decrease in curves (SIGH)

I definitely feel the effects... And in some ways I do enjoy the fact that I put on muscle really easily because it makes me look really toned. On the down side, I got to be REALLY careful working out so I don't gain THAT much muscle mass. Jansen thinks that if the scale wasn't wrong, the weight probably has to do with my increase in muscle (Is it possible to increase weight by THAT much??) and increase in bone density which he apparently says is attributed to me having more testosterone than usual. Great... Bad enough that I already have heavy, dense bones to begin with... Now I'm getting bones of lead.

On another note, THANK GOD I HAVE DECENT BOOBS... So even though they've shrunk a bit, they're still above average for the Asian girl.

I can't wait for the day when I'm finally completely cured and will go back to my regular weight again... That's another year and a half more of medication to go though...
