Wow that is my life story the past 2 years!! I am still trying to figure out how to "fix" myself, but I am trying to take it one step at a time, and that is probably the hardest part! I was just officially dxd with PCOS about 8 months ago, but I believe I have had cysts since the age of 9. They were confirmed at age 11 - and I was on BCPs for quite a long time. Right now I am focusing on weight loss - I don't have much to lose, but I, like you, want to have my "old" body back - back when I COULD look in the mirror, and I am happy to say I am getting there - slowly and with a LOT of discipline.
I changed my eating habits - focusing on more healthy, lean meats, organic veggies (they taste A LOT better), NO fried foods, cutting out sugar and minimizing starch, etc. I also recently started the hcg diet, and I have lost 12 pounds so far - only 10 more to go! I also focus on being as active as I can, and hopefully I will be able to maintain the weight. I am still in a trial and error phase, but I'm hoping that losing some weight will definitely help. I already do feel better - both internally and externally.
I have a tendency to write a lot, but I hope this helps!
