I've been annoyed the last few days because I've been stuck at the same weight for about a month now.. I got a fill last Thursday and haven't lost anything, not even an ounce... It aggravates me even more because I pay out of pocket for these dam fills and if they don't work, it's a waste of $150.. I'm eating how I should and working out.. I know I should be patient and blah blah, but seriously.. I'm not happy today. I know it's my PCOS keeping the weight on and only allowing it to trickle off slowly, but it's pissing me off.. I've been reading everyones success stories and although I'm happy for all of us that are doing great, I'm not so happy for me today. Yes, I know, be happy for what I've lost.. yes ok, I am, but again... seriously. Seeing people that have had surgery months after I have lose almost double the weight as me is frustrating and disappointing. I told my doctor that I really wanted to be under 200lbs by May because I'm going to Bermuda, and she just kinda, in a nice way, basically said "don't count on it" because of the PCOS. People I know wonder why I'm not losing more, I really want to say I have something else wrong with me other than FAT!, but no one knows what PCOS is, and I don't have the energy to explain.. I know inside they laugh at the fat person saying "oh I have a gladular problem, and that's why I'm fat" .. But anyway... I'm done being a cry baby lol.. Anyone else out there just sick and tired of this disorder holding them back and literally weighing them down? I just needed to vent, thanks for listening..

Very nice "venting" ... I think I'll give it a "9" on a scale of 1-10 ... not "loud" enough to be a perfect "10", but close ... LOL

But seriously, I am sorry you are going through this difficult time on your journey. I am currently struggling myself. Since I don't have PCOS it becomes and even longer explanation (which I don't bother with) about back surgery and asthma and ... etc, etc, etc. I am soooo exhausted all the time. I am seeing TWO docs on the 17th. I can't live like this anymore! Exercise is supposed to give you energy but my morning miles have yet to kick me up a notch energy-wise -- or drop pounds on the scale (I don't get on often -- can ruin my day if I do). Anyway, this is your vent, not mine ... sorry.

If you are going to vent, this is the place to be. I hope things get better for you soon. Hang in there ... for some of us this journey is not a "sprint" or a "marathon", it's more like an "ultramarathon". LOL But we won't give up ... WE CAN DO THIS -- no matter what the obstacle before us!

I have a friend with pcos and I see her struggle too. Keep your head up and keep venting, great way to release stress! We are all rooting for you.

thank you! feel free to rant as well, I feel a little better now lol.. When it comes to exercise I still hate it, I don't feel "great" when I'm done, I feel sweaty and gross lol. I'm sorry you're struggling too, although I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it's good to know that we aren't alone.

Thank you for the reply.. I don't complain all that often because I truely am greatful for the things I have in life and the progress, although slow, that I've made in the last year, but it sure feels good to let it out once in a while lol, thanks for listening.

I know how you feel! I've been stuck at this weight for 2 months. Getting another fill tomorrow, so hopefully that will help... PCOS sucks.
