Default Met, IR and weight loss

I was wondering if any of you out there have this problem ... Since my PCOS diagnosis, TTCing #1 and getting on Met through now (2005) I have lost 30 pounds. I started at around 150 and am now about 120, having lost the bulk of it since I restarted the Met to TTC #2 in May. I am 5'3 and am IR.

While most people would be estactic to lose that much weight, I am not. It is a constant reminder of the fact that I am not normal. That I can't get pregnant without serious medical intervention. And I can't stand all the comments I get from people, asking me what I am doing, etc. I was with my mom the other day, and we ran into this woman I used to work with. She told my mom that she needed to get me to eat!!! Of course she has no idea how incredibly offensive that was.

What I have learned from this experience is that I never ever comment on someone's weight, even if it is weight loss. I will say how good they look instead. Anyone else? Or am I totally crazy? (I know the answer to that question already ... giggle ...)

When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, I lost 10 lbs. I am 5'4 and went from 125ish to 115ish. I think that it is normal and the way that my doctor explained it is that is your body regulating from the medication (which causes you to lose stored fat.)
