I am grateful to the responses in regards to my weight.

Thank you everyone.

One thing I have always struggled with is this:

I have been told that part of the whole PCOS deal, along with being eligible for being the bearded lady at the circus (makes you wonder if they were actually living with PCOS) , is a v   e   r   y     s   l   o   w   metabolism.

In order to keep it going, I was told 3 meals a day is not the way to go, but 5 small meals a day.  That this ‘fans the flame’ of my metabolism, so it does its job.

The issue I have always had with this, is that my tummy never rumbles and I eat when I am not hungry.  I do believe, as a result, that I am overeating (not in the obsessive, compulsive, I need to go to OA sense)

For the last two days, I have waited until my tummy has grumbled to eat. What I have noticed as a result, is that I am LESS hungry at night (which is a HUGE downfall in my eating habits, eating after 7pm) Last night, I was happy to just drink water all evening. I usually eat around 3-4 times a week after 7pm and have decided that this would be the first thing I addressed. (don’t have to do much, just keep my mouth shut, lol)

The last 2 mornings, I have woken with a grumbly tummy.  This tells me my body is actually in need of food, which is when I believe, I should be eating.

The only thing is, if I only eat when hungry, as opposed to timed dining, will this slow down my metabolism?

When I say I ate 5 times a day, morning tea is say air dried popcorn or an apple, or hummus and carrot sticks or SOMETIMES a biscuit/chocolate/home baking. I am not eating 5 HUGE meals a day.

I love my nuts, so much I married one.

Yet while nuts are good, as in low GI, they are high in fat. **Sigh**

So, to eat or not to eat, that is the question………..
