Just getting heavier - with no will power

[Sallyssss]

Hi,

Can someone recommend a slimming pill etc to help my will power?!

I'm not clinically obese (so don't qualify for the injections), but I've gained over a stone in the last 6 months (think it's due to some of the pre-menopausal symptoms I'm having).

I am really struggling with sleep - and then will power the next day. Is there anything I can take to help me?!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

will power against what?

too much food?
junk food?

Insufficient sleep has a huge impact on your appetite (level of appetite, and the foods you almost crave) so given the type of weight gain you have it may be worth throwing all your effort at improving sleep and hopefully the weight management will follow naturally.

(I am obese and have been for years so i appreciate that menopausal weight gain in a short period is different from someone who has long-term issues with eating habits. I also see a direct link between hours of quality sleep, and desire for carbs and frequent snacks)
