I think I tried every new weight loss program
in the 60s and 70s when I was a teenager.
The only one that really worked for me
was Weight Watchers.
The reason I feel it was so successful
besides the fact that I lost weight
consistently for the first time,
was that I learned to eat balanced meals
and leave the table before I was full.
If you feel full,
you have gone way beyond overeating.
This regime helped me develop habits
that have lasted me a lifetime.

I've heard from many TTC Women
who have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
who are struggling with weight loss.
My suggestion is to treat yourself like a hypoglycemic.
Hypoglycemia is the body's inability to keep blood sugar stable.
Their pancreas over reacts and secretes too much insulin
thus, lowering blood sugar and making you feel awful.
When you have PCOS your insulin is not quite as effective as someone
without PCOS. Thus you tend toward high blood sugar.
Try to eat smaller portions more frequently,
thus keeping your blood sugar from rising
drastically and making you feel awful and like you need to eat.

From my experience the secret to successful weight loss,
and control(which to me is more important than loss)
is to address first what habits you have
then see which ones to keep and which ones to change.
Keeping a journal/diary of your daily intake,
then evaluating it together after a week or so.
An action becomes a habit when you "train" yourself
to do it without thinking,
for example--water,
I don't drink water like I should,
and I would assume that I am not alone,
in order for me to change my habits to include drinking water
I will have to stick to it long enough to where
I don't even think about it anymore,
it just comes natural.
My biggest problem is PCOS which plagues many of us on this
board, and makes is VERY difficult to lose or maintain weight.
There IS a way to overcome this, but it takes a lot of work,
and planning.
