Weight

Hi Allicat,

I hope you enjoyed your time at the pool.  Did you say thankyou for the compliment? I find walking can be hepful to destress and help me relax and think things through. I also like gentle water exercises.

Muslce weighs more than fat, so technically you can gain weight, but lose body fat. Or you can lose weight, but it is muscle and not fat.

 I read there are three elements to fitness : strength (    post menopause and  slight issue with lymph and other aches and pains, it is definitely a challenge.. my excuse maybe ..lol  ) endurance.. and flexibility.  Do not forget to enjoy life and have a laugh !  We all wax and wane at times; it is human. Be kind to yourself too.

It does sound like you are obsessing a bit about wieght.  I had an eating disorder. ( bulimia. )

 Treatment to mimic menopause may be affecting your sleeping patterns, and mental thinking. If necessary speak to BC nurse or doctors. You have been, and are still going through treatments, which is scary and  has outcomes that are not always predictable. Science based evidence does show longer survival rates.

BC was a huge thing for me to go through; some "bad" experiences and some "good ". I basically had to start again in many ways. Now i find it best to just go day by day, and try not to worry too far ahead.

 Fingers crossed for you. 

Kathy.
