I'm just a beautiful bet(t)a!

I have PCOS. Was diagnosed nearly 10 years ago. Low carb is the key to losing weight successfully with this condition... and, get this... losing weight is the singular best way to manage your PCOS symptoms. I think only eating "safe foods" like "crisps and chocolates" is completely counterproductive and quite frankly,…

Try upping your fat intake slightly while you adjust to eating fewer sweets. Works like a charm for me.

Nutritional benefits, or lack thereof, aside: what about the emotional benefits of not depriving yourself of something that actually contributes to the serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain for an indeterminate amount of time while you "diet"?

Do you accurately weigh and measure your food? Do this for two months straight before you make changes again.

You can either make the Pepsi fit your daily caloric goal (one drink won't break the caloric bank), switch to a zero calorie version (oooooh toxinz and artificial sweetenerz.... lawdy!) or substitute with a glass of ice cold water, or flavored sparkling water (if you're like me and it's the fizz you crave). PS: my mention…

They're these little sausage type things. Dutch convenience food.

Because insecurities.

I prefer men in their 40's. Wait, what are we talking about again?

Was there a parasite in the water?

15 years of wearing cleats/running shoes for at least 2 hours at a time 4-5 days a week have ruined my feet and other people's feet for me... yeah... no thanks. I can barely stand the sight of my own feet.

Most men are well aware that women get periods. I don't see why they should stay away. Also, unless you're a preteen (in which case you shouldn't be here), I assume you've had a few periods in your lifetime so I think you know exactly what's gonna happen once Aunt Flo leaves.
