since may, i’ve lost 20 pounds without my family’s intervention. as of today, i am no longer overweight. i just don’t eat a lot of sugar, walk semi-regularly, and eat more mindfully and slowly. i feel great, except for right now. i’ve been menstruating for nine days because of my IUD. today, my iron loss is so severe that i’ve been left consistently fatigued. i have even been getting black spots in my vision when i stand. so i decided to treat myself with some dark chocolate to get some iron in my body and fulfill the craving i’ve had for a few days.
since it’s 90 degrees fahrenheit outside and i don’t have a car at the moment, i asked if i could borrow my mom’s car. she said no because the convenience store was so close. i proceeded to say that i planned on getting dark chocolate to help with my iron loss from menstruating and didn’t want it to melt, and she immediately rebutted with “well it also has a lot of fat.” she then proceeded to look up iron-rich foods to replace it and lectured me. by the way, it’s very rare that i eat processed sugar, except for the occasional dessert when i’m out with my boyfriend. i haven’t bought a chocolate bar since april. and frankly, i don’t think she has a right to shame me for wanting dark chocolate ONE TIME, when she is overweight, when her weight is consistently increasing and half of her diet is candy and pretzels.
maybe i’m irrational to be so annoyed about this. but why should i follow weight loss advice from someone whose past weight loss attempts have all failed? is it really that wrong to fulfill a menstrual craving here and there?
