I've been back and forth from this site, I'm having trouble finding what I need, getting some control over my life that feels quite the opposite. I'm 31, married but no plans for having any children. I definitely have PCOS symptoms but I consider myself more Insulin Resistant than PCOS since fertility always seems a big part of PCOS, I've never tried to get pregnant.
Right now I am taking my time reading the book Potatoes Not Prozac and taking it step by step. My big problem is trying to do too much too quick, wanting results now. It's hard being so uncomfortable in my own skin, to take things so slow when you just want to stop feeling this way now.
Step by step I'm already feeling a little better. Sugar and white bread is my big issue, it always makes me so sick. Even if I can't get my body under control I want to at least feel better.
Anyway, I'm here again trying to find people to inspire me and who are going through the same thing, it helps me. I've been more of a blogger over the years than doing a forum but I'm here to get just a little more.
Here is a post I wrote recently that really gets deep down into my state of mind the last few years.

PCOS is not a 'fertility' disorder, it's an endocrine disorder. Infertility is just one of the many symptoms that some women with pcos have.
I'm sure you'll find many inspirational stories here. One thing most have in common: they don't typically change their body with diet alone.

taking small steps to introduce new things into your life is not a bad thing although slow going. some people want to go full out quit everything cold turkey and get on the good ol excercise regime and have it done with, but you can get overwhelmed easily and slip back into old habits that arent going to help you. if you start with the fundemental steps of what it is your wanting and introduce changes that are simple and easy to get used to you can definately build the healthy habit of doing those things consistently and move to the next step. it may be good to write it down and set some goals and get yourself a step by step this is how im going to implement positive changes/habits into my life. its also good if you dont have to do 2 separate things eg: meal preparation. is your hubby on board with your wanting a change of pace to things? if you need to be making 2 kinds of meals, it may also make it so you slip back into your old eating routine cuz it would make life a little less complicated. for excercise i find having a partner helps keep you accountable for making sure your on top of it cuz you have someone else relying on you to be there to help be their motivation as well.
good luck with your quest and i hope things work out for you.
