FIRST WEEK FAILURE

I feel your pain. I don't have PCOS but I have a low thyroid and chronic fatigue so can't do major exercise cause I get sick. My maintenance calories are about 1400. That means for the rest of my life that's all I can eat to maintain my loss. The alternative is not an option. Some of the things that helped me were finding things I could eat that gave me more satisfaction and realizing how much I was overeating in the past. I never liked veggies so I didn't eat them. I have since learned that they can be tasty if prepared correctly and because of the fiber they tend to make me feel full longer. Steamed broccoli with a teaspoon of butter and salt and pepper is one of my favorites. So easy to prepare and keeps me full a long time. I combine that with 4 ounces of lean meat and a small serving of starch and I'm happy. For snacks I like popcorn. I eat alot more fresh fruit than I used to and I bring my lunch to work every day. Sometimes it's just a lean cuisine but the best choice I've found is a homemade lower calorie soup. I make a huge pot and freeze servings to grab and go. Once you see a decent drop you will be more motivated to continue. For me that was how it worked anyway. I am 62 years old and had dieted my whole life ultimately topping the scales at 251 pounds. It took me 2 years to get to a healthy weight but it was well worth it. Don't give up. Take your time. You want this to be a permanent change so if it take a little longer it's worth it.
