Like so many women that are suffering with PCOS I was no stranger to the weight gain. I had
a massive weight gain before I found out I had PCOS. I went from 120 pounds to 350 pounds in a year and a half. The
cravings for carbohydrates consumed my thinking about food. I am not satisfied
with a meal unless I had my share of
carbohydrates to tame the carbohydrate monster that lives inside me. I know that as soon as I eat the foods that
I want to I am going to be sick from them. Does it stop me? No, because I need my fix. I know it sounds
like I am talking like an addict, but that is exactly what I am. Its just that
my drug of choice is carbohydrates.
Living with PCOS, I know that I have to maintain a low carbohydrate
lifestyle. This is extremely difficult. They say that there are many foods out there
that are low in carbohydrates and can be substituted for the high carbohydrate
foods I love, but it is very challenging to find these foods. With lots of
research and dedication I can find many alternative low carbohydrate
foods. I have lost 65 pounds now and it
has been a struggle every day. There
are many days that I slip up and eat the carbohydrates that I am addicted to. Shortly after I eat on these days I am
extremely sick and know that I messed up. They say the longer you go without
carbohydrates the less you crave them.
I have to disagree with this.
This is an every day battle for me, but I am embracing the challenge to
discover a new healthy lifestyle. ~ Tammy
