Congrats on taking a step to changing your--and your wife's--life. There are several things I suggest to help you:
1). You need to have a heart to heart with your wife. DO NOT mention weight. Just perhaps say "I feel that you seem sad lately--and I just want to see you happy".
2). Encourage her to become a member of this site. She will find so much inspiration and information from others that are going through the exact same thing.
3). Encourage her to talk to a doctor about depression (if you think that is a problem). There are medications that can help with this--and if someone needs it it can really be a lifesaver.
4). This is a MUST--encourage her to talk to a doctor about taking Metformin ER to help with PCOS. (this is a diabetic medication--it really helps with PCOS symptoms AND helps with weight loss). I have lost 20 lbs in the last year taking this WITHOUT even really changing my lifestyle.
Good luck.
I know you said that you live in Mexico and this creates a challenge, but where there is a will there is a way. |
