I exercised several times a day.. it was an obsession.. I was never skinny 165 at my smallest.. but i had about 21% body fat or less.. I got so frustated because i could no longer lose weight... i quit the gym.. i even worked as a trainer... i had no idea that i had pcod.. the docs dismissed my symptoms and just put me on bcp.. i wish i had known.. i could have accepted the weight and continued.. now i am so far gone..
