Much needed Support

I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago. I had begun my battle with losing weight almost instantly, and had been doing well for a couple months, until my (now ex) boyfriend whined and complained that I wasn't spending enough time with him. So, Like an idiot, I stopped going to the gym and making healthy choices. After 5 almost 6 months of "spending more time with him" he ended the relationship.

Now here I am again, almost back to my starting weight with a new resolve to try to lose the weight again. I'm hoping I can find some support on here as I have almost no "real" friends left. I let that man dictate my life for almost a year.

I have a new resolve to get healthy, run more (I have a 5K in a few weeks), and eventually find a healthy relationship. But, one thing at a time, first up is to get my *kitten* healthier!!

    Good for you. Great goals! You can do it!

    It is sad that some people are not supportive at all and rather put us down.

    Here you will find tons of support! Add me if you want.

    I need to lose 50 pounds and so far I feel like I am doing good. This journey can be lonesome but totally worth it!

    This is a great place to make good supportive friends and be successful. Please feel free to add me.

    Oh, and by the way he was a jerk and was just looking for a way out anyway. the "more time" thing is a bullsh** excuse for "it's going to be your fault for when I break up with you".

    Thanks for the laugh! I needed it. I never thought of it like that. You're very right. He tried pulling every excuse and I called bull ****. At first it was b/c i had a child and he didn't know how to interact with him, then it was 'your smothering me,' then the it's not you it's me. full complete bull ****!

    anyway, i'm better without him and i no longer feel like i'm walking on egg shells.

    I'm ready to start over and get this stupid disorder under control before it gets worse and i end up diabetic (big possibility with pcos!)
