Maybe the key is learning to love ourselves first then maybe the body will adjust?...
Ellacraig: I felt the same way growing up and also still have those feelings but working on them- abusive household and a lot of fear. I've recently read that progesterone is greatly reduced if you are under stress and your adrenals produce cortisol instead. And we need progesterone to produce sufficient amounts of the other hormones, so, it really makes sense in from that viewpoint if we didn't have enough progesterone. My mom and sister are B cups, and I have an aunt who is a AA. If I get to a B from my AA I'll be thrilled!
