Thanks guys :)

You are all so amazing! I tend to get really lost really quickly. I have a not so healthy relationship with food (not surprising since I am here trying to lose like 200 lbs). Having eating disorders most of my life have really messed with my ability to think of food rationally. I am working on this... The one positive…

My nsv for this week I think is going to be not eating anything bad during Halloween. I am shocked and amazed by this.

This will be my first holiday season doing lchf. Today is only day 2 for me. I think I'm just going to do as much as I can on my own like eating before going out. When it comes to Christmas if I have to cook my own food and bring it to dinner with me I will. I'm sure my family will understand.

These are so awesome to read! Today is day one. It went well... it is almost over but I am happy with how it turned out. It wasn't "perfect" by far but every step is better than nothing at all.

Hey everyone. Thank you so much for the information you passed on to Sunny. I did a lot of research last night and today. I'm sure it's only just beginning and I have a lot to learn. I am going to give this a go. I did have one doctor many years ago tell me to try Atkins but at that point I really didn't understand. I've…

I have been doing a lot of research on PCOS as of late so as to help myself. I also have anxiety... Though I've been treated for make mental health for many years. I decided in April that I was not going to take any more psych meds because I am not sure that the pcos isn't contributing to a lot of my issues. One of the…

Thank you for the information everyone. I totally agree that it can be done.

I wish I lost weight just like everyone else. I have never been able to. Even in my younger years when I was extremely active.

With the metfornin I also get the tummy issues. Mostly I'm not finding that I'm losing any weight on it. I'm not sure if the dose is high enough or what but I've been on it for years so I'm wondering if my body is just used to it now so it's not working as effectively. I can't take estrogen as it makes me super sick. Well…

I do take metfornin but it doesn't work as well as I would like.

That is awesome loss. Way to go! I don't like avocado I wonder if there are alternatives.

I also understand where you are coming from. I suffered for years with ED. I gained much weight in the end and am now trying to take it off. It is hard not being caught in the old ways. I'm with others though, make sure you get yourself a great support system. Thank you for being open.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. I will check out some of these options. :)

I don't judge people who do yoga. I just have my beliefs that is all... I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend.

These are all great suggestions thank you so much.

I know for me that I eat when I am bored or sad. I am a total emotional eater.

Do you have any suggestions? I know that may sound dumb but like books or pod casts or things like that. I don't find it helpful just to sit and contemplate. Tia Becca

I really wish we had like buttons for things on here. Really though I do appreciate all of you. I love the diversity. Each one behind something to the table. Some things have come across a little harsh but at the same time I know I'm sensitive right now and I'm hoping that the heart behind the people wanting to help is a…

Wow. This has definitively gotten more responses than I thought it would. The other night when I posted this I was feeling really depressed and upset. I do struggle with mental health so not surprising for me. To clarify when I was first told I had pcos it was like 2002. A lot has changed since then. The doctor I had at…

Thank you everyone for your responses. I know that my choices with food have been mine alone. I do not blame carbs or anything else for that. I chose to put food on my mouth. My point I was making with the original post was admitting that I've used pcos as an excuse because of what a doc said. I want to change it. I was…

It is nice to know I'm not alone. I really want to change this. Any tips on that are also appreciated.

Feel free to add me as well. I was diagnosed at 16. I'm really just getting into losing the weight.

Thank you so much

Thank you all. Some good tips

I tried If before and I liked it...I may have to look into it again.

I should probably clarify that by doing good I mean actually eating during the day. These are some great suggestions though thank you. I'm stifling to find what works for me and is sustainable

I have a really bad habit of skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch. I know that is a huge problem... I'm working on that but I find even on the days I eat breakfast.
