Last month I wrote an update on what the current situation is in regards to the fertility treatments. In short, I have had six rounds of IUI (artificial insemination) with no luck, now I need to take a break to lose a further 15-20 kilos before we can start treatments again.

It’s part of the It Gets Better movement, which is a collection of messages from people all over the world, including celebrities, aimed at gay teenagers who suffer at the hands of bullies. I love this video because it’s funny, it’s cool and it has a great message. I also love …

In order to start with my fertility treatments I had to lose over 80 lbs. Here in the Netherlands they won’t give you hormone treatments unless you are beneath a certain BMI, due to the risk of hypertension and other complications.

I’d like to change my weight… I’ve not lost a thing in the last three months, but with the fertility treatments and all the hormones that are being pumped into me, it’s taking everything I have just to maintain the weight I had gotten to.

Today was laundry day and part of laundry day is wearing things you probably wouldn’t wear otherwise, so that all the stuff you do want to wear can be washed. At least that’s how it works in my house… or maybe it’s because I always put the laundry off for too long. It could be that. Whatever… tonight while I …

No, even though it may seem like it, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I’ve just been laying low and getting back into the swing of things after returning to the Netherlands. I’ve not been feeling particularly bloggy and I figured I’d wait until I did rather than trying to force it. Anyhow, this is about …

On March 6th I had finally lost 50 lbs. It took me a while to lose the last 1-2 lbs to get there, which feels silly I mean it’s ONLY 1-2 lbs. It seemed to go on forever though as I had reached that dreaded plateau everyone told me was coming. Since then I’ve been teeter tottering back and forth …
