Day 5

Today I am feeling much better. I did a lot of reading on Metformin and infertility last night. Metformin is not only supposed to help level out my hormone levels but it's also supposed to help me lose weight because it helps with insulin which is kind of what makes you hungry. I doubt I've lost any weight, but I can definately tell I'm not as hungry. I have learned my lesson though...no more junk food for me! I'm a little nervous for Monday, I start taking two pills a day instead of one.

We're going grocery shopping in about an hour. I'm actually really excited to start my diet. I did really good today for breakfast I had yogurt and oatmeal. A girl from work is going to diet with me which should help to encourage me and keep me on the right track. I've been feeling a lot more motivated lately though, first with quitting smoking and now with losing weight. I just keep telling myself it's for not only my health but for my future baby too. I've decided if I don't get pregnant on this first round of pills I would like to take a little break to lose weight. I wanted to do it before, but by then we'd already made our appointment and I didn't want to go to the doctor and be like "I decided I don't want to get pregnant right now, thanks though!" I keep looking at women who are overweight and pregnant and they don't even look pregnant...they just look fat. And I really don't want someone looking at me when I'm pregnant and not know that I am and just think I'm a fat ass. It sounds really shallow, I know.
