IBS/PMDD/Oestrogen Sensitivity/Excess Weight

C: IBS, PMDD, Oestrogen Sensitivity, Excess Weight
T: It is difficult to manage these conditions and their symptoms in correlation
F: Exhaustion, sadness, deflated, Angry
S: Jaw tension, tight shoulders, closed off
A: Stop to feel sad for myself, I do repeatedly take massive action to improve my overall wellbeing but feel like I’m getting nowhere fast on a cycle repeat, get frustrated, cry, reach out to partner & friends for comfort, eat chocolate, drink coffee, get angry with myself
R: Feel annoyed at myself for being unable to get out of the circumstance of excess weight which will potentially improve some of my other symptoms

This one is so hard for me. I have done so much work on loving myself, that I actually do, I don’t need to lose weight for me. I need to regulate my health but it constantly feels like my body is fighting itself and to lose weight, I end up under nourishing my body, getting stressed and things get worse, its mainly due to IBS as my food is restricted to certain items. I am using supplements to support myself and I eat as healthily as I can but I feel my liver is struggling to process what I am eating, it shows up on my blood results at the doctors and the answer is to lose weight. When I exercise more I suffer fatigue so I’m feel I am just on this never ending loop. Improvements if I do get them are small but it feels pretty exhausting to put in so much work but see so little improvement.

 

Answer:

 

The good news here is that you are aware of what isn’t working. What can you do next? Write a list of all of the resources you already have at your finger tips, and of all of the possible approaches to addressing these symptoms. Do a thought download without editing yourself – every option can be on this list regardless of feasibility.

Now get curious: which of these are already working for you? What do you know will not work for you? What new resources or experts do you want to seek out? Of these, what do you want to pursue and why? Notice what reactions your brain has – where there’s resistance, or energy, and what it’s like to start thinking about what’s possible next. Come back and we’ll keep working on this.
