I have GAINED weight! What in the world is going on?!?!?!?! I have not officially weighed myself but I put on a pair of pants that previously fit OK and now they are tight! What in the world is going on? I am sticking to my diet, working out, taking my meds like I am supposed to but I am gaining weight! I wanna sit down and cry and just give up, not even get out of bed.
OK, so I have cheated a couple of times and drank a soda but my calories are still under where they should be, that should not make me gain weight. This sucks!
Maybe I should just give up. My husband thinks I am perfect the way I am, aside from my weight and PCOS I am very healthy. I just really do not want to have the lapband surgery done but it looks like I may have to just to loose weight.
Wish David were here to hold me.

have you ever been to see a dietician? i think maybe you have bc you said how many cals you were supposed to be eating. you've got to find a balance and stop focusing on the weight. i know that is hard to do. i don't think you are eating enough (or you are eating more than you realize but i think you write everything down?). your body stores if it feels like it is starving. you also need to make sure you are getting the nutrients you need in those calories. you could drink nothing but soda everyday and be under your cals but not feeding your body what it needs. muscle also weighs more than fat so you may gain here and there. having the lapband done is not going to work if you are having these eating issues...bc it is just restrictive and if you are already restricting.....that just doesn't make sense, ya know? if you are happy, don't stress. work on being mentally happy...that will help more than anything. change your focus. work out to feel good, not to lose weight. i could be preaching to the choir...i don't know what i would do if my hubby were gone...i'm sure the kids would have a mama in the nuthouse, lol. what can you do outside the house there? volunteer work, a job, school. you need some busywork. don't ever give up, that isn't an option! :) hang in there! love laura
Laura, back when I was first diagnosed with PCOS I went and saw a dietitian and learned about the healthy eating habits and healthy diets. Right now I am using sparkpeople.com to track all my calories and nutritional values (i.e. sodium, protein, carbs, vitamins...). I type in everything I eat, down to a pinch of salt or pepper and I track how much water I drink on a daily basis. My doctor is the one who chose what calorie intake I should be working towards. I am doing good on the nutritional stuff, such as carbs and protein and vitamins, it is just the calories I am struggling with. Right now I am trying to focus on just being able to work out and trying to strengthen my back and knee enough that the next day I am still able to walk, right now if I work out the next day my back and knee hurt so much it is hard to get out of bed. I am not working towards a specific weight per say, I am working towards having a better mental picture of myself. My goal is to fit into a specific size of clothing. If I still weigh the same as I do now but fit into the size I want I would not care what my weight was lol.
I would like to be able to start school and just focus on that for a while but until I finish going to the dentist and have my surgery I will not be able to. I would just miss too much school. I was thinking of going to the animal shelter on post and volunteering for a couple of hours each day but I am not sure if they allow volunteers. Right now, with all my appointments and stuff it is hard to have a schedule. I am working on making it better though. :D
