Thanks for your messages

Dark_Swan (beautiful name, btw) - I keep a wellness/nbe journal and document everything. There doesn't seem to be anything different. If anything, I am eating waaaay better than 4 years ago unlike the junk I used to eat. Now that you mention it though, I was a tiiiny bit more active. Could be a possible reason. (I tried different NB techniques, the best one I had found was pump and hold. The others never gave me results unfortunately.)


Ella - Great points. Could be a circulation issue too. It never even occurred to me! Sorry if it's too personal but what did you feel when you had a gastrointestinal infection? Did it last very long? I suffer from IBS/leaky gut, I thought that maybe it is an untreated gastrointestinal infection...dunno.

As for hypnotherapy, I actually went to 2 different Hypnotherapists. It was SOOOOO EXPENSIIVEEEEEEE, and the sad thing is that I gained nothing =/

I guess I'll have to shell out more money for a blood test. *sigh*

Oh yeah another thing is that estrogen level decreases in our body at a yearly basis after the age of 25. And you mentioned that things were fine for you until 24. Also, you have been doing this for 12 years, so that must have included some of your teenage years. And we change(even if our boobies don't increase  ) a lot in that time. So maybe what worked for you up until 24 is no longer working for you or working well. Maybe that's something to think about too...sorry about the constant replies. You know your program and lifestyle really well, so I thought I could give you suggestions and you could make decisions, try things, make modifications, use trial and error etc.
