PCOS

Anyone who has seen me around babies knows that ii absolutelii ADORE them. Anyone who has heard me talk about my future knows that ii want to have a lot of children. What most people don't know about me is tht ii have poly cystic ovary syndrome. I'm not gunna die or anything it just makes it extremely hard to have children. I found out that a lot the issues that ii have that some ppl think are due to laziness and such are actually an effect of my condition. For intance ii have gained a lot of weight in the past few months which is 55% my own doing but it has become increasingly hard for me to loose sed weight. I've known that ii had this condition since my freshman year of high school but as silly as it sounds ii never care before ii recently read a "fml"the other day after doing sum research ii found out why my skin was getting so dark and splotchy and why ii was breaking out so badly ( many more why's but no need to list them all). While reading up on the syndrome ii found out that ii quickly need to cut sum of my bad habits such as smoking and drinking. I already stopped smoking and am proud to say I haven't smoked since April (for diff reasons). I've decided to stop drinking as of today ... Shouldn't be a problem for me ii have freinds counting on me to actually stop so they're my motivation. Even though there's no cure for pcos it can be treated a number of different ways. At this time ii don't have the funds for most treatment so iill do wat ii can which is where my 40 pounds in 40 days challenge comes in. ii can help myself by gettin healthy bc ii know for a fact ii dnt eat healthy at all. Loosing the 20 pounds I've gained and a little more may not put me at "healthy weight" according to charts but its a start. Any how ii just felt like talking about that a little bc ii find it amazing that pcos affects 1 in every 10 teens but no one talks about it so ladies if u found this thru google just know that your not alone :). For more info on pcos and its treaments go to the link ii have attached( ii think its attache =x) and educated yourself dnt leave it ALL in the hands of drs.

... And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
