New State of Mind with PCOS

Okay, so I have not been even remotely motivated to focus on losing weight since I gained back 20 of my 30lb loss. Was diagnosed with PCOS in December and that just did me in. Depression, medicines coming from 4 different doctors. I just gave up.....But now I have realized that the only way to overcome PCOS even remotely is to not diet and exercise to look good, but to live and feel good again. If I can keep this mind set, I can jump back on that wagon and get this going again.

I know there are several here with PCOS. I research it continuously and it is one of the hardest things to deal with. It starts to control your life if you let it. Don't let it!! And I am preaching to myself here. Hang in there with me girls! :flowerforyou:

    You're not alone hun! PCOS is a pain in the tushie, and it makes the journey hard but it certainly doesn't stop you from reaching your goals! There are a lot of ladies (myself included) with PCOS who are suceeding.

    It sounds like you're already doing the right thing - lots of reading and research. Phase 2 is finding people around you (and on MFP) for support. :bigsmile:

    Any time you need a hug just let us know :)

    PCOS is a difficult thing to deal with because not only are there physical things we have to worry about- it also cuts right across our ability to feel like 'real' women. Can't get much closer to being a female than our reproductive system- and it can really drag us down.

    You can do this- we can do this. :flowerforyou:

    We are all here to help as we have been there and done that.

    Cut the cord to the vicious cycle, don't let it win.
