Is it hormones?

I’ve been trying to lose weight FOREVER. And it seemed like the harder I’d try, the more the scale wouldn’t move. It was frustrating to the point of tears to go to bed hungry and gain half a pound the next day. I wasn’t starving myself but I wasn’t used to eating a normal amount of calories. I was used to eating an absurd amount of garbage. So I felt hungry even though I wasn’t. But I thought it was worth it because I’d lose weight - and the most I ever lost was 4 pounds before I just said this isn’t worth it.

Last month, I stopped taking my birth control pills that I’ve been on for the last 20 years. In the month of September I lost 8.5 pounds by eating smart, working out, and cutting out soda. All things I’ve done before with no results.

Everything I read online says BC pills won’t affect weight loss. But - do they really? Because I don’t know what else the difference could be now. I also feel so much better.

Anyone else ditch the hormones and find weight loss easier?
