Hey hun,

I know what you are going through. I have always been a big kid. It ain't fun. And now i know the reason why. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006. I can gain weight really, really easily and find it extremely hard to lose. The weight sticks.

Are you sure you have no underlying medical reason for your weight? Thyroid etc...

You need the motivation to lose weight. You need to exercise and cut out some of the junk which you might be eating. Don't cut all of it out initially, but do it gradually as you will then have a tendency to binge.

Are you able to go on walks or join a gym? I joined a gym and when i saw the numbers on the scales get smaller and smaller, the motivation increases. It made me feel great when i went to the gym. It is my happiness pill. When i am in a bad mood and haven't been to the gym for awhile, my DH can immediately tell, that i need to go to the gym and gain some confidence back. He told me that i am the happiest when i go to the gym. And it is true.

I am struggling with weight now. I was 64kgs, and ballooned to 69kgs in about 3 months. I don't go to the gym anymore and i feel like sh*t. I got duromine 15mg on Sunday and have been on them for a few days now. I can't feel any effect. I really need to drag my big a&se to the gym. That is the solution. If you find that Duromine helped, start taking them again, once you shed a few kgs and your pants feel that little bit looser, your motivation will increase.

If you need a psych, go to one, definitely. A happy you = happy family.

GL hun.
