Trying a new doctor at the same clinic I usually attend as when I got diagnosed with PCOS my original new doctor straight up just told me to lose weight to treat it…yet somehow sitting here feeling guilty for changing doctors.
Losing weight in conjunction with other treatments really helps. Your doctor is right. But don’t feel guilty.
I have to lose weight to take the strain off my joints, I have so many past injuries and if I’m not careful I’ll end up in a bad way in my old age.
Also have to help my cardio system, being over weight taxes my system and I don’t need that. It’s also way easier to get fit when I weigh less.
I’m treating changing my eating habits and weight loss in the same way as I would quit cigarettes if I smoked. Slowly retraining in short bursts. I don’t fret when I go back to bad for a short while , tho I noticed it’s never as bad as before. Making it as easy as possible .
I recently watched a series on hbo on the food industry, it was enlightening!! It’s NOT you. It’s not your fault. So do NOT feel guilty. big hugs
The problem isn’t that she told me I need to lose weight, I know I do, the problem is that PCOS makes weightloss complex and difficult and without other supplemental help is disheartening. The doctor I saw today recognised the complexities of losing weight with PCOS and was much more helpful and generally more reasonable in her approach. I now have a new medication to try that helps treat the insulin resistance caused by PCOS and this will in turn (with a change in diet and lifestyle) help me to lose weight at a reasonable healthier pace.
