Your ovaries and liver will thank you

posted in About Me, PCOS, Weight loss |

Instead of talking to my OBGYN about the BCP vs. mental meds, I’ve just decided to stop taking the BCP after I finish this pack. It’s just not worth it. I don’t even know how much the BCP helps with the PCOS symptoms and my chances of getting pregnant are extremely slim to none. So after this week, I’ll be finished with this pack (except the placebos which I never take anyway) so hopefully my serotonin levels will be back to normal before the Christmas madness really begins.

In the New Year, I want to try some other things for dealing with the PCOS. I want to go back on Met.formin and start exercising. The Met.formin will lend itself to eating better too, since there are awful GI side effects if you eat high fat/high carb foods while on it. Getting my insulin levels straightened out and losing some weight should help with the PCOS symptoms and maybe keep me from continuing down this path to Type II Diabetes. Then there’s the fatty liver that would also benefit from a few less pounds. I know I need to do it, I just need to get myself pumped up mentally and the holidays are not the time to start trying to eat right and exercise. I’ll wait until January before I give up pumpkin pie!

Do you have weight loss plans for 2010? What diet plan or exercise regime are you planning to follow?

    I landed on your blog through NaBloPoMo and the first post of yours that I read seems to sound like something I may have written…just substitute a different anti-d name ;) I’m a working Mom with PCOS, 2 kids, no minivan, a need for some sunshine again, a family member with diabetes (my daughter – Type 1) and a 2010 weight loss plan. Well…it’s a 2009 plan, that evolved from a 2008 plan, which was originally a 2007 plan…you get the picture. I’ve been transitioning to a more natural diet and really limiting processed food. I’m adding in exercise 3-4 times a week. No big brand name plan, just trying to eat better, move more and weigh less :) Good luck in the new year and with the mental meds. Mine made all the difference in my life and I hope they do for you, too!

    My weight loss diet is the run-after-toddler-never-getting-a-chance-to-eat diet… other than that, I’m out. It’s not particularly nutritious, mind you. Previously I used the run-madly-at-work-never-getting-a-lunch-break diet. It was pretty similar.

    Hope you work out your health priorities. It’s all difficult stuff to get on track.
