Don't I know it! I've never struggled with losing a couple of pounds now it's torturously slow!!

I've been informed I'm in a state of perimenopause

nice healthy tan!

Small meals through out the day instead of three big meals leaves you feeling full and less likely to binge

Have you gone to a nutritionist? They can be very helpful to work out daily calories and menus plans.

Yes I relate. Food has always been my enemy. It's a daily struggle to stay balanced. You're not alone. I also have PCOS so in the back of my mind I'm afraid I'll balloon out if I eat normally. I take one day at a time.

It does get better. The bad thoughts are still there but quiet down as you heal body and mind

Welcome!! We are all here to support you

Hang in there! You will heal up and be active again. Give your body a chance to repair itself. It's not going to be easy but you want to have energy and happiness for your wedding! Don't allow those bad thoughts take away your best day ever

I wake up in a puddle every morning. I get night sweats something awful! Anything I can do about that??

Yes a good blender is a must have! I've recently transitioned from vegetarian to vegan four months ago. It took me a good couple of years trying to convince myself I could go without cheese but now I have cut all animal products out of my diet I've never felt better!! I've also found some great recipes that fill those…

I've been on spironolactone for years and it works great for me. I would get horrible cyst acne on my face. It was the only thing that worked for me. It also slowed the hair growth considerably. You have to drink lots of water and get your blood work routinely done to check your potassium.

I'm 45 years old 5'4" and 123lbs I eat no more than 1400 calories a day and am vegan. I stay very active and have been able to maintain my weight. I was diagnosed at 17 years of age and started taking spironolactone daily to control my PCOS. Recently I've added birth control to my meds as I'm peri-menopausal. So far so…

That's great! I find this app reminds me to eat because my first instinct is to restrict. Keeping a balance is key.

Nice to find a fellow 45 year old with the same struggles. I've battled anorexia since I was 14 and have been recovering since. It's such a long process and never seems to go away. I have learned many great skills and better coping methods along the way but that ED voice is ever present. I also work on balance in my life.…

Yup vegan

I'm 45 and still struggle with an ED

Looks yummy!

Always! I try not to worry about it too much and just make sure I eat well throughout the week.

Welcome! Eating right is the way to go!

Hi nice to meet you all!! Was vegetarian for 5 years and vegan for 4 months and feel so much better since cutting out dairy and eggs.
