Hi all. I'd always had a 'sweet tooth' as a child and a teen, but also had very fast metabolism so never really suffered any consequences in terms of weight...until the last 18 months after I had my first baby. I suffered from quite severe PND and PNA and while my eating habits hadn't changed dramatically, my weight did. I've never had to try to actively lose weight until now, but I just have no discipline :( The thing is, when I am disciplined and avoid sugar (biggest culprit for me) for a few days, I feel SO much better mentally- I just have more clarity, feel a lot more like my old, undepressed self and just generally so good! That is, until I have a stressful day with my daughter (particularly high maintenance diva) and the only thing that in the moment I think would make me feel better, is food, but especially sugar. I've tried numerous times to break the cycle but I just can't. I know something needs to change but I don't know what or how. I can't continue to pile on the weight, it's making me miserable. Most of the clothes I own don't fit well anymore and my confidence is rock bottom. Being investigated again for PCO (been back and forth with this for years but they've never spotted any cysts, just a hormone profile that suggests it). I'd really appreciate any advice or tips from anyone who's been through similar. I just want to feel like my old self again.
