I know they say not to go to the grocery store hungry, but i couldn't help it, there was nothing to eat in the house. While I did well buying good things, I did horribly by buying many NOT GOOD things. *sigh*

Anyhow, I'm back on track this week, HOPEFULLY! The good news being by taking the flax seed oil and the primrose oil I had virtually no symptoms during my period, I didn't get the usual 5 lb weight gain, no cramping, no bloating it was WONDERFUL! The best period i have ever had.

See, no more shopping while hungry. BAD. But yup, you and me need to get back on track. =)


Also, ever since I went on "Yasmin" BCP, I don't get any symptoms either. LOVE that stuff. lol. And glad the flaxseed is helping. =)


At least SOMETHING is going well, right?

Yes maam' I wish they made at home tummy tuck and lipo kits, then we wouldn't have anything to worry about. I'd have a cute ole tummy to display my little half shirts and belly button ring. LOL

Steffy do you want the flax oil fact sheet, give me your email address and I'll email it to you. I take 2 tablespoons in the morning in a protein shake and then through out the day take 14 of the supplement pills (which equal one tablespoon of the oil) and then during my period I took primrose oil.

I'll be happy to send it I retyped it to send to people.

You have to take 14 of the flax seed oil supplements in order to have the equivalent of Omega 3's in 1 TBSP of oil.

I take 3 TBSP of the oil a day, 2 in my shake in the morning, I take the pills currently for that last TBSP only because I haven't quite figured out how to take that last TBSP of the oil without having another shake...so when I do figure out how to substitute it I won't take the pills at all.

You can pick up the oil at Walmart by the way.

You know what, you are so right. I went on the fat flush diet, (which is based on flax and evening primose, etc) and that was the one thing I remember, no PMS. I totally forgot!! Thanks for the reminder.
