OP, I think your concern about over eatting and gaining unhealthy weight is perfectly natural. (No I am not a professional counselor) but u hit the nail on the head about using food to soothe emotions. It's great that u r aware of what's going on with u mentally/emotionally/spiritually etc. Those r potential triggers that…

I miss having a fuller bottom like Kim Kardashian...now that I'm a lot smaller 80lbs it's not as round. I miss being able to eat without family gawking/commenting in amazement...I have a healthy appetite I miss how no one commented on my weight when I was heavier

Great advice! I so needed to see this post. I was contemplatinng having an extra serving of a sugary snack and calculating how much exercise it would take to balance it. I decided to drink an extra bottle of water and realized that I should stop eatting on the go and/or while watching television and focus on enjoying my…

We've already programmed urself to be successful, keep those healthy habits while making adjustments as u see fit. For example I struggled with increasing my…

I agree with the low carb lifestyle. Everyone I know (male and females with and without pcos) that has tried it saw positive results within at least 2 weeks. Check out the Atkins and/or South Beach diets for ideas. Don't forget to do some exercise. Good luck on TTC! P.S. TTC counts as exercise. Not sure if it's cardio…

I also recommend taking the Metformin XR, it is easier on the digestive track. If you aren't able to switch to the extended version make sure you take in enough water and be mindful of the type of foods you eat. I.

Check out meal ideas from the Atkins diet and the South Beach diet both are low carbs. I personally prefer the South Beach plan. I like the recipes and frozen dinners better. Are you on any medication as a result of ur diagnosis? e beginning it is tough bc u learn how so many foods that u thought r healthy have carbs and…

To add on to what jgnatca said....what is your level of physical activity? A simple 20min walk per day can make a major difference. If you're able to do more that's great but physical activity is a must. As for diet check out the recipes for Atkins and/or South Beach for ideas on low carb and preferred carb meals, snacks,…

@jezhab things will get better :) You will have moments of regret as we all do in life at different times and about different things. As for being bitter I doubt it. You are already doing the work physically, mentally and emotionally. You are identifying the things that lead to weight gain and working through them so that…

This goes to show that proper planning pays off! I love the idea of weekly menu, this really helps when you're cooking family style. It can be lonely when u have a "special menu" and everyone else is eatting something different. Keep up the good work!
