After years of having irregular periods and cists coming and going on my ovaries (as well as weight gain and extreme anxiety and depression) I've finally had a doctor tell me that I have PCOS. My mom actually found about after having my little sister that she has PCOS as well. It was after many doctors and various tests before someone told me about PCOS and even still the doctors do not give me that much information. Growing up I was always a chunky kid & was teased, in about 8th grade was when my eating and purging started. I dropped down to 98 pounds. (I'm 5'4) I managed to get passed my eating disorder but my PCOS has made me gain over 150lbs in less than 3 years. Is there anyone who has PCOS that can help me with diet ideas or workouts that are more geared toward women with PCOS? Determined not to go back to my old ways!
