I'm Shannon (21) mother to Lilie (16 months) and Wife of Billy! Right now I'm at my all time high for my weight and I gotta do something! I am about to break....my depression is worse that ever, I'm having problems with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome.....my dr said if I lose around 50lbs I shouldn't have any problems because it will help my hormones get back on track) and I'm tired of being frumpy! Let me start out by telling you that I have set out many times to do this and I have failed.......I feel like a failure! I have tried Weight watches and counting calories, but I tend to make bad choices and get hungry cause what I eat doesn't feel me up.....there empty calories! I need help from people that have been a similar situation! I try to avoid the bad food but then I crave them so bad that I give in? Grrrrr then I feel even worse and eat more.......I guess you could say I'm an emotional eater! Anyways if anyone has any suggestions I'm up for it all!

Thank you all very much!

Shannon:eek:
 
I know several people with PCOS that have been very successful at following the Insulin Resistance diet.. while I am completely ANTI fad diets... this one seems to be pretty sound... There's a website forum devoted to women with your condition... while we wanna keep you here, because we're fun and stuff ... you might want to check out that site for some more advice on the insulin resistance diet... the forum for PCOSers is

Emotional Eater.. well you've got abunch here.. and we'll offer you plenty of support... and hopefully you'll get some ways to help you out with that.

Feel free to start yourself up a diary... a place for us to give you support.. and aplace for you to record your victories and your challenges. welcome and you've gotten started simply by coming here..
 
Welcome! I have PSOS myself (and an emotional eater :eek: ). I'm trying to loose some of the weight partly for that reason as well. Best of Luck to you. (Glad to hear you have a munchkin, the infertility part of it always make me nervous)

Good Luck - there's a lot of great people here and plenty of support, keep your chin up!

pequin....the sister I mentioned that has PCOS has TRIPLETS!!! She used Follistem (sp?) & IUI together.
 
It was definitely quite a piece of work. I helped her for 1 1/2 weeks when the babies were new...let's just say "WHAT's SLEEP"???? LOL! They are 4 now and things are easy for her.
