Hey Gabrielle.
I am having similar difficulties. I practiced Bikram on and off for two years and then moved to a place without a studio for a few years. I have recently moved to a city which hs a studio and have been going almost every day ( twenty in a row, a four day illness with fever, and five times the week afterward). I have been battling Anxiety and IBS for a few years so I am trying to go in everyday as it does seem to help. However, I am also noticing a significant weight gain (about 3 kg). I am already about 4.5 kg overweight so this weight increase concerns me a bit. Sometimes I just feel a heavy “blah” feeling.
I have been taking Resorb (a Swedish electrolyte tablet) with my water every day during class to try to keep my balance in check and have been drinking 4-5 L of water per day. Will this go away? It is very disheartening to see/feel this way.
