Hi everyone, I think I found the right topic now. I'm 20 yo, overweight big time and my gyno tells me I have to lose weight before he wants to give me meds (although I got provera). I feel awful, excess hair (although it's not that bad), bad skin, and my hair, which used to be my pride, is all dim now, unhealthy. I live with my parents and I never ever told them anything that was worrying me. I only ever went on 2 dates which were complete disasters, and they don't know those guys' names. I want to get healthy and to start losing weight but I have no idea how I'm gonna tell people. It's hard to explain but it feels like giving in. Like that if I tell them this I'll break down and will end up as nothing, that people will pity me. It's a lovely day today, I have 6 hours before I have to go to work and by the sound of it there aren't many people out and about in the streets. What's holding me back? I do have sneakers, sports pants, a nice sweater. Why am I like this? No I do not want to be fat the rest of my life. No I do not want to develop diabetes. So why am I so stubborn?
Your not alone, I have a HARD time getting motivated in fact I have not been to work all week. I just got diagnosed and had so many ?'s to get answered and my mind has not quit since I went to the dr. I nkow exactly how you feel there are days I wanna run and loose the weight and then get winded just getting my shoes. Sad I know. From my experience people do not pitty me when they hear what is going on. Family and friends even co workers have come full circle to be a WONDERFUL support system and then there is this wonderful website when there is at least one cyster that knows exactly how you feel. If there is anything I can do just let me know. Good luck with the sneakers and let me know your secret when you do start jogging or walking.... I need to get out there too and am left also asking my self the same question why am I so stubburn LOL ....

I'm glad I'm not alone! I often ask myself why am I not at the gym? I'm in college and our gym gives students an amazing discount ($26 for 4 months) But still I don't go. I have thought about and I think I'm scared. I'm scared of not being me. will losing weight make me more attractive? and even though I want to be, I'm scared to get attention from guys, because then I'll have to tell him about this illness. ohhh what a life we lead! I think that I (we) need to just suck it up, and get out there. We are worth it!!!

aww thank you girls! I actually managed this week to start jogging. (I´ll tell you my ´success´story later, I´m at uni right now. Thanks for listening! Maybe we can motivate each other! Will post more later.
yup, i havent been dx yet, just got bk from blood test, find out results nxt week.
i walk home from work (about 20mins) which i do everyday, and i have an exercise bike which ive been on like twice!! i cant get motivated either.
ive been eating relitively healthy, ie cereal, salad, pasta... and i did that, eating really healthy, no snacks, no cheating, no nothing, and i didnt lose anything!! i think thats why i cant get motivated...im like once i get dx then ill really concentrate on it, but at the moment, while even my best efforts are going to waste, i just cant be bothered!! i had a doughnut last night! and then kept snacking just coz i was fed up with it all... feeling better today though, but still cant be arsed to get on that bloody bike!!
maybe we could all motivate each other??
I hadn't had any snack for 6 days but tosay I blew it and I had some chocolate cookies. I had been working on a group assignment at uni and hadn't had anything to eat between 2 pm and 7 and I was so hungry, so I bought choc cookies coz I still had to eat dinner an hour later. I felt sick when I had them, I think I was being punished, and I felt really guilty, so got out of my bus earlier and walked to the bus stop where my bike was, about 15 minutes.
I'm going through a lot right now and I feel so restless, I will tell the whole story (If you are interested) after my presentation which I have tomorrow!
It's great to know there are people on here that haven't found the strength yet to turn their lives around. As I said I managed to go jogging twice this last week, but there are times when I wonder why I am doing it. I don't want to let pcos run my life. I admit my eating habits were awful, but sometimes I wonder what I would be changing myself for, and more importantly who.
deborea: I can go to the gym very cheap through uni as well, but when I think about all those slim students with their arrogant attitudes I just don't want to go anymore.
NDlilbit: come back here and maybe we can start a motivation plan. not a weightloss plan like everyone else has, but just a plan so we do something, doesn't matter if we lose weight or not, we'll worry about that later.
emmylou, same goes for you
for a long time I didn't want to go to the doctor. Until someone showed me the wikipedia page on pcos and asked me if I had that. Last week when I went running it was the same person only this time he didn't believe in me. I didn't know how to tell my mum I wanted to start running, so I took off when she was doing grocery shooping and left a note. She was amazed when I came back. My dad doesn't know yet though.
As I said, I need to make this into a routine, and i think that we should be able to help eachother somehow.
if any of you have msn, feel free to add me: dreamsinred@gmail.com

and then kept snacking just coz i was fed up with it all... feeling better today though, but still cant be arsed to get on that bloody bike!!
