Hello,

I've been struggling with weight gain since I was 22, I'm now 28 and 200lbs... I'm only 5'2 ugh. Well was diagnosed with PCOS about three years ago and it's a struggle with everything from severe fatigue, migraines, weight gain, acne, all the PCOS symptoms, so many more than I can name.

I've been in a relationship now for about a year and he recently told me it bothers him that I complain about my weight but I don't do anything about it, I try so hard to get motivated but I'm always so tired and have zero energy....it makes me feel worthless. I have so much wrong with me but everyone seems to think I make it all up and I don't!

- I have asthma
- I had cancer and beat it
- I have PCOS
- I have arthritis in two spots in my back
- My shoulders pop and ache constantly
- I have acid reflux
- I have allergies
- Migraines
- Heart murmur when born

I feel like I just need a whole new body.... I hate my body. I used to be a size 00 when I was in my teens and then ballooned up Andy it won't stop, I still keep gaining. I try so hard to watch what I eat but it's so hard. And my constant body aches don't help and the fatigue doesn't help...I don't know what else to do... I feel like a failure...

    Just take it one day at a time! Maybe find a therapist in your area that can put things into perspective for you.

    Once you get on track, you WILL have more energy. But to get it, you need to put in some effort. And when you start to loose, it will motivate you to keep it up <3 And, if you loose some weight, you may find your symptoms improving, too. One day @ a time!

    Pink cupcakes try small changes at first so you don't get overwhelmed. Log everything that goes in your mouth good or bad. Walk be it 2 minutes or 10. Read inspiring success stories and journal your thoughts and feeling every night! What your partner thinks makes no difference. Concentrate on you! Good luck!
