I'm 51, having had PCOS symptoms since puberty and was diagnosed in the early 90s. I found ways to deal with all the issues it caused me like my fertility, my periods, my moods, my crazy hair growth, etc. But the one issue that I just can't even handle is my weight. For 30 years I've struggled and dieted and exercised endlessly and never got anything but heavier. I'm 275 now and all my "big" clothes are tight yet again. I have never been comfortable or happy with my body and have fought for my health without any success. It's so discouraging. I won't do Metformin. I just don't want another medicine giving me side affects that won't actually do much to help significantly. Is anyone else experiencing this weight frustration? I can get over the other stuff but this piece affects me so deeply, sapping my confidence and making me feel so misunderstood. Literally I have been told by doctors, nutritionists, coaches and do gooders "maybe try dieting" more times than I can count which is infuriating because I have never NOT been carefully dieting always. I just don't get results and the PCOS is the only explanation because I have tried everything. I'm sorry to complain so much but I am just so tired and frustrated doing so much and still just being fat which my doctor refers to as the technically corect term "morbidly obese" Uggh. š
