I feel like I'm drowning.

So here I am, having gained back the weight I had originally lost FOR THE FOURTH TIME.

Except this time I'm not motivated to lose it again. I am just bloody exhausted. I love to exercise but my PCOS induced sugar cravings always make it bloody impossible not to binge on sugary things.

I am sick of being hungry all of the time. To stay slim, I have to be. I eat all the nutrient dense foods, low g.i yada yada, but in the end I'm still always thinking about food.

I have been on and off a diet for 4 years and It's put me at the end of my rope. Why the hell can't I just manage to keep it off?!

I'm either skinny, in complete control and happy, or I slip and eat until I pass out and my stomach is in pain (like it is now), and gain the weight back bloody quickly. And it's worse than ever. If I'm on holidays? I binge. If i have even a small treat? A few days later I'm triggered to binge. If I drink alcohol? I binge. If my protein grams aren't higher than carbs? I get too hungry and binge. It never used to be this hard.

This time around i stuck to my calories for 3.5 weeks and didn't lose a thing. It is just not coming off easily like it used to. I have made an appointment with my former dietitian, because I just can't do it on my own anymore. She however, is currently in Hawaii, so I'm gonna have to do my best to stay strong for 2 weeks on my own.

Sorry for being such a drama queen. I am just so so over this cycle.

Any advice? Experiences?

My girlfriend suffers from PCOS too and also used to find it difficult to lose weight and keep it off. We started MFP together, and over a 2 month period I had lost 20 pounds and she had only lost 5. However, since she went to the doctors and asked to be put on Metaformin, the weight now flies off her and she keeps it off. So maybe worth a try?
