Yay! I hated hormonal birth control so I'm glad to hear that you're coming off it. Everyone is different but it shouldn't take long to regulate again.
 
Exciting news! Condoms aren't bad when you're used to them. I remember reading somewhere that in blinded tests participants don't notice the difference - and being very much amused by blinded condom/sex tests.
 
Oh wow, that's massive news. Very exciting.

I'm going to see It Comes at Night on Friday, the trailer is really cool.
 
So happy about the baby sunflower :)
Just remember the best thing about growing flowers is the fun you have planting them ;)

Now on the whole condom debate. I think its really different for each person. Most of my friends are girls so i get a play by play of their sexcipades. Most dont really mind them unless the guy buys the really cheap ones. Id stay away from any that are 20 for .99 cents. Most of my friends buy their own. That way they can get what feels the most natural to them. Plus it gives them control of the situation...plain, ribbed, spiked..... Hey i dont judge ;)
Now me personally i hate them. Things just dont feel the same and thats the nicest way i can say that :)
 
My wife had a hard time coming off of birth control. She had one of the IUD types and it claimed not to mess with your hormones but it did with her anyway. And then it took us about 14 months to get pregnant the first time. 5 months the 2nd time. But again, very different for different people.

I hope you don't get too anxious waiting while trying, it will happen when it's meant to and it will feel like you're pregnant for 23 years. :p At least it felt that way our first time.
 
Up until a few years ago when my birth control tried to kill me(DVT/Pulmonary embolisms) I'd been on it for the better part of 18 years. I'd only come off it twice to have my kids. I had no problems coming off it either time. My period came right on time and I was pregnant the first month of trying with both kids. Which I've heard is common coming off the pill... so definitely use the condoms if you don't want to start trying until Christmas. lol! Can't wait for the Sunflower seedling! So exciting!!! :)

Well, I was a very greedy Sunflower over the weekend. But had AMAZING time. It was so good - loved seeing the girls. We ate at an amazing restaurant and drank ALL of the fizz and I smoked like a chimney and stayed up all night with my friends and all slept in a giant bed together like drunken teenagers at a sleepover.

Here are some photos - CHECK OUT MY COLLAR BONES! They exist now - I have photographic proof!

Food was horrible write off all weekend. No alcohol yesterday, as was dying a hungover death. Alcohol free today and have had a low calorie day as have felt pretty rotten! Will post food later xx

You are so beautiful sunflower :)
 
Hello gorgeous people - thank you for all sharing your experiences and giving me some advice. It's all very exciting! Nice to see you back, Cowboy!

It's been a mixed week again - work has been very exciting and interesting. My new client is a victim of modern slavery/sex slavery and is HIV+ - he's a real sweetheart and I'm trying to get him housed and sorted out .The language barrier is proving a bit of a challenge! My friend Leanne died on Thursday - she had very aggressive cancer. She found out when she was trying for a baby and couldn't get pregnant - just breaks my heart. She was 34.

Not much happening with the weight loss - I had a really good week and then ate fried chicken last night and got drunk with Yank. I'm down to 170lbs now - so close to the 160's I can taste it!
 
Oh, Hana, I am so sorry to hear about your friend, Leanne- *lots and lots of love & hugs sweetie* xoxoxo
 
That's very sad news Sunflower.

It's great that you are helping people to rebuild their lives after going through such turmoil and hardship. I can't believe people are still being bought and sold like that in 2017. It's really alarming.

I'm sure you'll be in the 160s by next weekend.
 
So sorry to hear about your friend - and your client as well, really. Although he now has you on his side, which I´m sure counts for a lot.
 
Having you on his side sure would count for a lot. I honestly don't know how you do your job Sun. I think you're an angel xoxo
 
Thanks guys - was a sad weekend. Such is life.

Calories good yesterday - first day back on plan after a boozey weekend so felt good.

Too late..

Work was a literal piece of shit today. I've missed the chaos and the stress until it's chaotic and stressful, haha! The irony is not lost on me. Never mind - got a nice 13 hour day tomorrow to top it off and then Wednesday to get through and Thursday and Friday booked off for Yank's birthday :D

Food was too low today but had no time for anything other than salad at work (eaten at desk whilst typing with non fork holding hand!)

Chaos & stress- I don't miss those! Well done on only having one glass of wine after that day Sun xoxo

I am a smug little Sunflower today - so proud of myself :)
