Hello,
I just wanted to write and laet you ladies know that you are not alone.
It is hard for all of us
to deal with the downfalls of PCOS, but the first thing you need to do is
to accept what
has happend. PCOS isn't going to go away! Next you need to remember
that no matter
how much you think you are your not ugly. I believed this about myself
for many years,
but then I realiaed that to me some one who looks at me funny or treats
me bad, they are
the ones that are ugly. It doesn't matter what they think, only what I
think. There are many
men out there who are looking to love someone with a genuine heart not a
beautiful face. One will
find you someday! Have faith.. I will be praying for you all!
