It's going on four years now that I have been on bioidentical hormone replacement. I have Suzanne Somers to thank for that, although I think she lied to me. She had me believing that once I was balanced with the right amount of estrogen and progesterone, the extra weight gain would just MELT away.
While those horrendous menopausal side effects have disappeared -- the headaches, moodiness, anxiety, night sweats and hot flashes -- the extra pounds are still clinging on for dear life.
With spring approaching, I have my eye on a few cute little numbers that will look a helluva lot better on me if I was 10 pounds lighter.
So, I'm thinking . . . I might try to wean myself from the BHRT because I know it is the reason why I have gained the weight and kept it on. But I'm worried about what will happen when I deprive my system of this hormonal balm that has soothed it all these years.
Is there anyone out there who has tried to do this, and can you tell me what I should expect?
