I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which basically means my hormones are messed up and along with this my cells are insulin resistant (which I’m on medication for) and basically it all adds up to there being far more of me to love than I’m comfortable with.
So basically I have the insulin resistance thing sorted out (thankyou modern medical science!) and my diet is quiet good – I eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegies, whole foods, not much fat and sugar, and organic where I can. I also try and stay away from wheat-based foods as I seem to be sensitive to them and I get moody and put on weight when I eat them.
My sticking point is exercise! I try and walk the dogs daily but if I can think of a reason not to, I’ll justify not going out and walking. My willpower is really bad when it comes to physical exertion. I used to go to a personal training studio but found uber fit blokes bouncing around chivvying me and making me feel like I wasn’t doing my best really rather intimidating.
I like to swim but my body image stops me from going out in public with only a pair of bathers on. I really don’t think I’m massive as far as overweight people go but I don’t want to inflict thunder thighs on anyone if I can help it.
I think alongside my goal to quit playing WoW, I’ll find less reasons to not go out walking with the dogs. I’d like to find a sport that I can enjoy and I used to be fit and terrific when I owned a horse in my teenage years but that’s really not financially viable at this time.
