I'm Stunned
Hi:
I started LC about 3 weeks ago, lost 8 pounds very quickly, gained two back and have sat at that point for two weeks, even though I have been carefully following atkins "induction". Being discouraged and wanting to find a way to break through the stall I've been reading posts and articles all morning. I had never heard of PCOS until just this very morning, and after reading about it I think I am developing this in a moderate form and am completely stunned by this information. I have always struggled with my weight, and am very discouraged about how it is not coming off. I have noticed the facial hair thing developing over the past few years and spend far too much time dealing (ineffectively) with that, it is actually a serious problem. I have noticed the skin discoloration thing, and the acne thing. I have 3 kids, and got to the point that I almost bled to death each month during my TOM and ended up having an ablation done almost three years ago. Wonderful procedure....
Anyway, here is my problem - a stupid problem. I know I should go to my wonderful doctor and have tests done etc. etc. but I am currently being treated for injuries sustained in a car accident during August. There is a law-suit pending over the crash (don't worry, I am suing him) and I know that the insurance people are going to see my medical records and I do not want them reading about my weight, my facial hair and my pimples. Can anyone empathize with this?
This is long-winded - sorry... So - can someone please reply and tell me that they have had success with the LC way of life, that the weight will come off and other symptoms improve.
I hope I haven't offended anyone. Thanks!!!
