manage pcos

I am having one of my unexplained sudden weight gain episodes right now. I’m glad it didn’t happen when I was in school, but I feel terrible about my body right now. I feel so… thick. And none of my clothes fit.

My endo was a lot more open and cooperative during this visit. I think he had a hearing aid problem on my first visit. He didn’t have any problem hearing me this time. So that was encouraging.

I was surprised and a little disturbed to find out my thyroid antibodies were up however. Not sure how much it matters, but I seem to remember they had gone down after I started back on synthroid.

Also disturbing, I am over 20 pounds heavier than I was this time last year.

I must work harder at this goal this year. I’m not getting any younger. I’m really tired a lot of the time although I have a full life and get a lot done (unlike my life 3 years ago). Being busy, having a job, and being good at something outside of home does not constitute good physical health. It helps with the depression however.

I think mainly it’s my diet that needs to be addressed and exercise needs to be more consistent and involve more cardio. I am telling myself to implement these changes for my health, not for my appearance.

I have an appointment with my deaf endocrinologist on Friday, and at least I will know what my blood tests are saying.
