Iam going to lose weight and change my eating habits for everFrom: Shelly (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 13 Jul 2001 16:39:01 -0500 (CDT)
I was diagnosed as pcos about 4 years ago when a large cyst was found on my ovary. I am from the UK and feel we are still very behind on the medical subject here!! I read up from these discussion boards and went armed to my doctor who says there is a link with insulin resistance and pcos! sucess! I am now going to see a specialist in hormones and all my life I have been told that my weight causes my medical problems, well not this time I am going to tell the doctor that it is the pcos that is causing my weight. I want to do something about it and u ARE going to help me!!! I couldn't believe what i read on here about insulin resistance coz it described me to a tee, I am a text book case! I cried as I read it as it was finally there is something wrong with my body it not coz i overeat as I have been told all my life! As i read it all put the pieces of the jigsaw together for me, why friends i know who r obese still have periods and i dont! i was told i dont have them coz of my weight...but they do! Why my skinny friends can eat alot more than me and not put weigh ton! I have always said sugar is my enemy and any diet i have been on i dont need low fat just to cut out sugar. no one has ever believed what i said before, now i gonna show them. I can live with the fact that i can never eat sugar again, as i know what the affect of eating sugar has on me i dont want to!! i have not eaten sugar for 3 1/2 weeks and have lost 21 pounds!! yet i feel i eating more than i did before. But i really conscious of what foods contain sugars and check every label, i am trying to stick to natural things like fruit vegetables meat eggs nuts etc.. I feel soooo much better My hubby has commented on how my mood has lifted and i dont get so annoyed so quickly! also i know my hormones have kicked back in coz i got period spots round my mouth and stomach cramps and i felt emotional with it!! i not had a period for 3 years or any of these signs!! i sure one will start soon!! My doctor told me i would have a period if i lost weight, and when i have lost some weight before they have restarted, but i now relise this is coz i stopped eating ugar not lost weight!! My nan was born in 1907 and did not have my dad until she was 40 years old even though she never tried not to get pregnant. it all makes sense that she had pcos aswell, as my dad was born at the end of ww2 in the middle of rationing and my nan could not eat sugar so therefore she became fertile again!! does that not make sense? she was also a large lady all her life even though in her day her diet was poor and could not over eat, it was just the sugar that made her big!! i feel so relieved and thank you to everyone on here that has explained things so clearly that i am now so positive and confident enough to tell doctors NO the pcos is causing my weight do something!!! THank you all!!!!!!!
