I have to share!! I have PolyCystic Ovarian Disease, which has caused me to gain 150 lbs in 8 years. I may not exercise like I should, but I am a fairly healthy eater. No matter what I did, the weight kept piling on and nothing I did caused any of it to go away. Fast forward to this past January when I changed doctors. The new doc made the connection between the PCOD, the type 2 diabetes I'd developed, and the huge weight gain/inability to lose. She put me on medications to reverse the effects of the "famine mode" the PCOD had convinced my body I was in and the weight started dropping. Five months later, I'm down almost 40 lbs. I knew I'd been losing and I do a happy dance every time I have to buy new pants, but it did not occur to me how much better and healthier I looked until I took a new full-length pic this morning and compared it to an old full-length pic from when I was at my heaviest. Talk about motivation!! We're moving this summer and joining the rec center in the new town. I can't wait to compare again after a few months of hitting the fitness room and indoor pool!!
The skinny bitch inside WILL make another appearance sometime in the future!!
