Addicted to Food ?!?!

Addicted or Not Addicted that's my Question.lol ..Okay So the thing is I think im addicted to food . Like i cant stop thinking about food all the time i cant even eat then go shopping for food and not think about going home and eatting or trying everything we bought . and then its like once i start snacking i cant stop im a big snacker . I snack all the time like i feel like i can eat a full meal and be stuffed and then be like i never ate anything 10 to 20 Minutes later and that scares me alot .Because Being addicted to food and Dieting isnt easy to do .How do you control that?. How can you control your mind from thinking about food 24\7 when its everywhere on the TV , Internet, Books and all up and down the middle of town .How is a  Girl Suppose to control her self when living in the U.S and Everything is bigger sizes including people .. makes me wanna scream like idk i have went and seen someone once about my eatting habits and they just basicly told me to stop and picked on everything i was eating or doing in my life and told me i needed to change and then didnt show me how . ..Like whats a girl to do . I dont want this to get out of control .Id love to keep my weight under control and lose what i have to lose so that i can get pregnant and my future baby to be healthy and have a chance to grow inside me full term . This could be my last round of 2.5mg Letrozol aka Femara . My dr waited until i started my cycle on my own and now im started round 4  of the femara so fingers crossed . Dose anyone know if Metformin makes you eat more or less ? im not really sure how this weight loss journey will go but im hoping for the best.i have to much riding on this . wish me luck !!

The ''D'' Word Blog #2

The ''D'' Word ..Diet ..That Word makes every girl go ugh . We As Girls love Chocolate and Sweets and hate the fact that a guy can eat all he wants and never gain a ounce and if he did he don't care . Us as girls are stuck in a world where we have to look like the girl in the pictures or ones on TV .Its a never ending reminder of our weight and it sucks .Like i am told all the time not to worry about what other girls think and what other people say about me that im perfect just the way i am. But What they don't  see is the Health issues behind it. I hate going to the Doctors and getting on the scale and looking at my weight go up and down . I am 267 pounds right now Last month i was 265 and the month before i was 262 and before that 273.My weight is everywhere and its hard to keep under control along with p.c.o.s fighting me the whole way . That is why my Blog is Me Against my Body. Going on a Diet is easy sticking to it is the hard part. Most people say That eating right and working out is not hard to do if you want it bad enough. But most of them are skinny and never Had to fight with there body or deal with being infertile and stress and having kids running around its hard to find time to balance work ,college and kids and my love life with my hubby and still find time to cook right and work out . Try running crazy with 4 kids ages 6 .9 and 11 and tell me if you can cook a meal and your kids let you work out .. Its more like take out and the kids are your work out lol My biggest thing is im a late night muncher. So i have alot of things to work on and its going to be hard but thats why im blog to tell others about my journey and maybe someone can say hey im not alone in this ! so my Question is What do you do to diet ?

Below is a List of symptoms of PCOS

It is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old) and is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility.While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.

Common symptoms of PCOS include

• Menstrual disorders - mostly oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea but other types of menstrual disorders may also occur.
• Infertility, generally resulting from chronic anovulation (lack of ovulation).
• Hirsutism — symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as acne or hypermenorrhea Approximately three-fourths of patients with PCOS (by the diagnostic criteria of NIH/NICHD 1990) have evidence of hyperandrogenemia.
• Metabolic syndrome, characterised by central obesity, insulin resistance and other symptoms.

PCOS can present in any age during the reproductive years. Due to its often vague presentation it can take years to reach a diagnosis.

Serum insulin, insulin resistance and homocysteine levels are significantly higher in subjects having PCOS.
